Went to see the town for a short getaway with friends. Nice location. Close to downtown area. Bedrooms were perfect for our group of friends. Older home but overall clean.
Older house, but lots of room. Great location that is close to everything. Lots of space in the house. Worked great for us in town with a trade show at Devos. Very easy and organized Check in and check out. Would recommend for sure.
This house was the perfect location to go tour around Grand Rapids. Alot within walking distance! Really enjoyed our stay!
Stayed with a few business associates. We needed a central location and meeting space. This house served the purpose and the management was very accommodating and responsive.
We came to Grand Rapids to visit breweries and this place was perfectly located to walk to everything. The house was old but in great shape, very clean and cozy. The beds were excellent and there is a great coffee shop right around the corner. Check in/out was extremely easy and communication with the Mitten was very easy and they were very responsive.
We did a short weekend and this house suited our purposes. The neighborhood is interesting. Lot of college students walking around, and a few drunks possibly homeless people too. Beds were good. It is an older house with no central AC like the other reviews stated but there were units where needed that worked great. Perfect amount of bedrooms so everyone had their own bed. Only con was more with the cleaning crew prior to our stay than the house itself. There were blueberries at the bottom of the fridge that weren't cleaned up and there were wet towels/mops in the washing machine. The garage is a bit of an issue too. Difficult to pull in with a larger SUV due to pillars at the parking lot right across. Ended up parking in the street after the first attempt at the garage.
Even though this was an older home it met our needs. Owner was super communicative and made sure everything was ok. We had a party of 7.
Overall we had a good time. There is a small issue with having to plug the window unit A/C into a different outlet because we kept tripping the breaker. After trial and error, we found a solution. The house was in a decent area and within walking distance to most things. Check in was a breeze
The location was great and the house was clean. It is a old house that is nice but a little less than we expected. Worked perfect and was a good location. Easy spot to get to the city by scooter.
Great house near lots of food and beer places!
Cozy and comfortable
House was spacious, clean, hosts were very responsive and accommodating. 10/10 would visit again.
Stayed for two nights to explore the city, the place was perfect for that. Great location that was close to everything we wanted to get to. Communication with the host and overall process was easy.
This was my 1st doing a Verbo so I was nervous. Upon arrival and entering, the house was very charming and upon inspection, it came with far more amenities than standard. All functions of a proper home were offered. The Mater bedroom was very nice with a rocking chair and canopy bed! The Mattress made me feel like I could sleep for a week or so. The actual home is located very near a store, restaurant, and coffee shop. An extended stay was needed last minute and was able to be granted graciously. I definitely will keep this property in consideration upon travels.
We had no prior GR info so were delighted with the location. We made it to good restaurants, the Art Museum and the Zoo. The house is older and not really well set up for in house entertaining (family only) but we truly enjoyed our stay.
While we reserved this property for a group that was traveling to Grand Rapids for an Expo, we actually had to change dates once it was rescheduled early spring. The process to change dates was easy enough. By the time of our reservation, our group got significantly smaller than planned. We were down to two of us. This property would have been great for our group if we had gone in full, but it was still just as perfect for two of us. Easy to find and within minutes to downtown where our event was. We could not figure out the garage but there was ample parking on the street. I really liked the photo check in process. Working the security key lock took us country mice a minute to figure out but we got it. We felt safe in and around the house. The decor fit the house and was very tasteful. We ended up snuggling on the couch to watch a Netflix movie our last night. In all it was a great weekend getaway and the experience the house offered was top notch.
Was close to everything and had the space we needed. Parking wasn't fun because it was Parking on the street or in a garage that was hard to get in and out of. House had lots if space but it's an old house. Was a good experience though in Grand Rapids.
I loved the charm of this home. It was in a perfect place. Very clean.
Very nice
