About this property

Riverwest Vintage Upper Apartment

This 2 BR duplex upper flat is located in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood, and also features an office with a futon for additional sleeping and work space.

Centrally located just 2 miles north of downtown Milwaukee, this neighborhood is often called the "Brooklyn of Milwaukee". The residents of this neighborhood range from students to professionals. It has a particularly vibrant arts and music scene, and is sought after for its proximity to UW Milwaukee, the Milwaukee River, and downtown. This unit was completely renovated recently, including a completely remodeled kitchen and bathroom, and contains many vintage furnishings.

There is a private front entrance for this unit, and there is a garage space and one off-street surface parking space available for your use during your stay. There is also ample street parking available in front of this property. This apartment has a completely open concept layout, the kitchen features granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, there is a dining area that seats up to 6 people, and there is a large screen TV in the living room. Both bedrooms have queen sized beds. Enjoy cable and WiFi during your stay, or use the vintage stereo to stream music. There is a basement laundry room with free access to a washer and dryer. Spend some time on the private balcony, that is furnished with vintage patio furniture, if weather permits. Although completely updated, this is a two family property that was built at the turn of the twentieth century & the sound barrier is not perfect. You may be able to hear the people or pets in the lower unit or in neighboring properties from time to time, and they may be able to hear you. Thanks for being courteous to the neighbors!

Riverwest is diverse, features great coffee shops, restaurants, bars, public transportation, parks, the Milwaukee River Greenway - all within walking distance or a short drive.

This property location is:
* 8 blocks from the Brady St. entertainment district
* 1 mile from the Oriental Theater - home of the Milwaukee Film Festival - and other entertainment options on the East Side.
* 2 miles from downtown Milwaukee and Fiserv Forum
* 1.5 miles (6 min by car) from the University of WI - Milwaukee
* 1.5 miles from Lake Michigan

The kitchen has all you need to cook, and grocery shopping is 3 blocks away.

Guest access
You will have access to the upper apartment in a 2 unit building, laundry room in basement, private balcony and 1 parking space in the garage.

Guest interaction
There is a lock box for easy access upon your arrival. There will be an information booklet giving you some additional information to navigate the neighborhood, but I am available at any time to help with logistics and to make your stay an easy one.

Getting around
This property is just 1.5 miles from I43. Located right on the #14 bus line which makes it a short, easy trip by public transport to downtown. And of course there is ample access for various ride sharing services.

Wonderful property

Great place, wonderful kitchen and very responsive hosts. The property was convenient to everything that we did while staying in Milwaukee. The kitchen was well equipped. We encountered a problem while doing laundry, and the hosts had it taken care of the next day. I would want to stay here if it is available on our next visit to Mikwaukee.

Older property but kept up well. Found all we needed in the kitchen. Location was fantastic for our purposes of catching bus and boat trips downtown!! Street was relatively quiet for a weekend too.

Graduation weekend stay

We had a very nice stay at this property. Having the parking pad available in the back was great given the construction on the street out front. The place was clean and spacious. You can feel good about booking this property.

Great property

The property location was perfect for us, it was roomy and kitchen was big. The couch and chairs were comfy. It was so nice to have a garage to park in. The only reason for 4 star instead of 5 is because the bed was so uncomfortable. We are elderly, so it's probably ok for younger people. I suggest having a mattress topper available in the closet for those who need it.

Wonderful Gathering Place

We stayed at the property for Marquette University's Family Weekend. Our son and a friend stayed with my husband and me. We hosted some of his friends for dinner on Saturday. Kitchen was stocked with what we needed. The bathroom was very nice. The counter in the kitchen was perfect for serving food buffet-style. The table was large and ideal for a group dinner. We used the balcony and enjoyed the incredible fall weather. The location was adequate, only a short drive from the university. We weren't able to use the garage, as planned. There was another car parked near the center, and we had a big car (Ford Explorer) that wouldn't fit. However, getting permission to park on the street wasn't a big deal. We also appreciated being able to see our car from the front window.

A wonderful place with many nearby places to explore. 10 minutes to downtown!

We visited with intent to explore Milwaukee culture, music, food, and golf. A win in all categories. History abounds in nearby cafés, pubs, and shops. A diverse mix of people, places, and things. Downtown is easily accessed via local streets. The unit is spacious, clean, and quiet with an air of European sophistication and simplicity. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to host a large family dinner! Having a garage with opener was wonderful; we could leave golf clubs, et al. in the car overnight. Our host, Karen, was responsive to questions and checked-in with us via Vrbo during our stay. She provided a property and neighborhood informational packet with links to local attractions. The checkout and clean-up process was simple, straightforward, and quick. Highly recommend a stay!

Great place for our weekend stay

We were looking for a property that was fairly close to our daughter in Brewer's Hill and chose this one (we needed a dog-free place for sleeping). While it wasn't within walking distance, it was just a short drive to get there. The apartment is very spacious and decorated with modern Vintage pieces that were fun to enjoy - plenty of seating. The apartment was super clean and well equipped with all we needed for our stay. The pictures of the property are accurate. We did not cook or eat there, but the kitchen is fully equipped (gas range, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and super deep sink) and with the beautiful large table, it would have been easy to do. There is a parking pad and one garage spot in the double garage (we just used the parking pad) off the alley. Keyless entry and well lit interior and exterior made it easy to access the building. We would stay there again and can recommend this property for others.

Location and Comfort

Great place for a working vacation. Was in town to visit family and friends while also working. Good wifi made it easy to work.. Loved the easy access to the Oak Leaf Trail and enjoyed going out for food and drinks in Riverwest. Appreciated being able to park in the garage. It's small and you share it with the downstairs tenant so best to not have a large vehicle.

Fall in Milwaukee

My husband and I enjoyed our stay while we visited our daughter who attends school at Marquette. The location was perfect. The house was clean while simply yet tastefully decorated. We appreciated the quiet neighborhood and grocery store within walking distance. The lake and opportunities to hike along many park trails was a highlight. Thank you for opening your home to us.
