Experience comfort at Ludington STRAM - Unit 201

Condo was very clean and on 2nd floor overlooking James St. No elevator. While there are 2 doors for the building, the code to get into the building only works on the back door (safety? Or we did it wrong) and not the front door on James St.Basic simple amenities- providing only what was needed which was totally fine for us. Could have used an additional blanket for the bed. We could’ve taken a blanket from the other bedroom—-we just turned up heat instead. There are working smoke detectors even though VRBO doesn’t list it. Went for NYE celebration. And it snowed. Noise (music, people, plows) in evening did not bother us at all. It was not that loud. Wished we could’ve seen ball drop from window but we could not…..but it was only 2 blocks down. They close the streets so it was easy to get there/back. 3 bars directly across the street from this place were fun and delicious food! So convenient!This place is nice and roomy - perfect for family or friends of 4-5. Small hard couch and small TV in main room. We were just a couple. No problems with anything including power, heat and internet. Bed was very comfy. Overall a fantastic time in a great location. Would love to stay here again if the opportunity arises. This review is more for information for the next renter :)! No complaints!! Not sure why the review form asked about wineries because we didn’t go and they were all closed!But if you do come here for wine, there are some really nice wineries in the area!

Very nice

Very clean and located in a great place to walk the downtown.

Location was great, perfect for bars, restaurants, entertainment

Apartment significantly smelled of cigarette smoke as soon as we opened the door. We had to open all the windows and blow the air conditioner. We spend the first 1 1/2 hours of our vacation - going to the store to purchase Febreze spray, plug in's, etc. Then working to get the smell under control. The location is very noisy at night - traffic, motor cycles, etc. We had sound machine and air purifier and it felt like we were on the street. Not our best experience. There were NO EXTRAS here. Only one good pan and it slides off the crooked burner. 1 Raggedy dish towel. Very small TV. Sorry - just not worth the cost.

Great location! Don’t forget shampoo?

Big table for playing games. Bars, beach and food within walking distance. Comfortable beds. Everything was perfect except for the tight parking space, luckily hubby is a good parker.

Very large and comfortable. Well equipped. Immediate help from the manager when we needed it.

Listing was as described as far as the inside of the condo is concerned. Basic accommodations. Clean bedding, comfortable king bed, plush towels, washer/dryer in unit. Parking not ideal and is not described until booking is made. Small spot between brick wall and another vehicle. Suburbans or large trucks are VERY difficult to squeeze in. This also means you need to unload your car and/or passengers in front of the apartment door (which blocks the flow of traffic through the parking lot) and back up into your spot. Also not mentioned is how far of a walk the apartment unit is from parking. It’s up two flights of stairs plus a long, windy hallway. If you have difficulty walking, this would be a big issue. Not enough hot water for 5 ppl. Apartment is directly across the street from a bar. After reading some reviews about the noise, I did not expect it to be a huge issue as we were booking for a Monday and Tuesday night. This bar seems to be rocking 7 days a week? LOUD music with a speaker on the outside of the building pointed towards the apartment bedrooms (directly above street) until at least 2-3am. This made it very difficult for us as well as our kids to sleep. Sound machines (provided) and fans helped a little but definitely a big disruption. If you are someone who is out having fun until 2am this may not bother you. We were traveling with kids. Overall, probably fine for people wanting to enjoy the night life but not ideal for people wanting sleep before 2-3am.

Listing was accurate and in a great location! Only 2 blocks from the main strip it was within walking distance to all the shops and the children’s museum. Place was clean and our kids loved the bunk beds. To top it off the lister was very clear on where it was and how to get into the building. Would definitely stay there again.

Overall, very nice. A few things that would be helpful. Going forward… Easier identification of what channels are available on the TV. Also didn’t appreciate being responsible for removing my own garbage that that should be included

We had plenty of room and the furniture was comfortable. There is some street noise in the unit we stayed in but during the week it wasn’t too bad. Would definitely stay there again.

Nice apartment with plenty of space for 4 adults & 1 baby. Loved being walking distance from the beach, marina, and downtown shops and restaurants. There's some noise later at night from the pub across the street, but it wasn’t a big issue.
