Charming Eastside duplex apartment with balcony bordering UWM

Enjoy a comfortable stay at our conveniently-located upper-floor apartment on the border of UWM campus. Features lots of natural light, original woodwork, hardwood floors, french doors, coved ceilings, a balcony off the living room, and solar-powered central air conditioning. The kitchen opens into a bright sunroom which could be a 3rd bedroom for longer stays.

We (David and Janet) live on the 1st floor. Off-street parking (for 1 car) is usually available in our garage but most guests choose to park on the street directly in front of the house as the garage space is tight. There is a 1 hr (seldom enforced) parking limit between 8am and 4pm though we will reimburse guests for any fines received for exceeding this limit. A permit (of $1 per night plus booking fee) is required for overnight parking. Ask us about parking options before or after booking.

We can offer use of our washing machine and dryer for longer stays. Contact us about this.

Lake Park and Lake Michigan are just a few blocks away. The shops and restaurants on Downer Avenue and the Downer Theater are four blocks. Buses to downtown and elswhere go from UWM campus just steps away. Bublr bikes and Lime scooters also available nearby.

Great location

My son in law and I made a quick trip to Milwaukee to see family. The location was perfect. Easy access to Downer Ave, UWM, Lake Park, and Shorewood restaurants. The host was great with communication. Place was your typical east side flat which made it very homey. Highly recommend this place to stay.

Spacious flat in great east side location

The top half of a large duplex was very spacious with updated bath and kitchen but older house charm. Host was extremely responsive. Location just a few blocks from Downer Ave shops. Nice balcony area for sitting on sunny days. Fresh cream, milk and cookies on arrival. Would stay here again!

Downer duplex

A very comfortable place to stay for a week! The property was spotless and the sunroom made a great office. Well-supplied kitchen, too.

Ideal Stay in a Great Neighborhood in a Wonderful City!!

We needed a nice place for a long weekend stay for our first ever visit to Milwaukee. We are so glad to have found this large, bright, well maintained historic-yet-modern apartment tucked between the University of Wisconsin/ Milwaukee campus and the Downer retail village. What struck us the most is that the apartment is set up and furnished just how we would have if it were ours, and the result for us was real comfort and relaxation. The location is ideal too, with lovely ten minute walks to the university, yummy restaurants, interesting shops, a fantastic local bookstore and neighborhood grocery store and, to the east, the fine parks along Lake Michigan. The host was also a pleasure to work with, providing a write-up of great visitor tips and leaving thoughtful (and delicious) treats for us in the kitchen. We so look forward to our next stay here, it’s been a joy!!

Perfect Experience

We were in town for the Tour of America’s Dairyland bicycle race. We found this listing that was near most by of our venues. We couldn’t have been happier. The location was great. The property was comfortable. WI street parking leaves a lot to be desired, but that’s the fault of the city of WI, not the hosts. David and Janet were great hosts. They let us use their garage out back. The floors in their place were a bit loud and I felt bad walking around late at night, but it is what it is. I highly recommend this property and host should you need something in the Upper East Side / Downer area.
