A bit of history

Loved the City Roost. I grew up two blocks north of the Roost on Washington Street. Back in the late 60s and early 70s the first floor was a meat market and store where we got pop and junk food. During our stay, we have coffee or cocktails on the balcony and reminisce about those days

Great location!!

Loved the location! Walking distance to Front St, the waterfront both on the bay and to an awesome 4 mile walking trail around Boardman Lake. Definitely an older building, but knew this going in because of the amazing details given ahead of time. Inside the apartment was a really cool industrial meets farmhouse meets old historical vibe. Property management was prompt with all communication. Great for our wine weekend stay!

Host & Location Great, Unit Not So Much.

You can't deny the location is great. The unit not so much. Nothing in the house is level. The shower is so small, a toddler would barely fit. The shower head was terrible and I did call and ask Troy to replace it and he did. Troy and the location are great. I spent most of my time out and away from the unit, because it is so uncomfortable to walk around in it. I will not stay again and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Not newly remodeled & plush like the website says.

I was expecting an old house that had been updated. This was an old house with extremely stained carpet on the steps, a chipped and broken door to get in and overall dingy hall and outside. The room was just as pictured which is what we were expecting. The 18 inch slope was also expected. The smell of the condo was unexpected and smelled of old laundry. They replace all of our towels because of the smell but the replacements also stunk like they’d not been laundered. The sheets also smelled like sour laundry. We ended up buying our own towels because it was so smelly. Location was good and easy to walk to downtown.

It ok for the price

It’s ok … I wouldn’t stay here again, very noisy (traffic). The bathroom is SUPER tiny. The floors are very uneven. The bed was very comfy and it is within walking distance to downtown so that is good.

Small, but clean and convenient

It's kindof a funky space, but they've made the most of it. Very clean, comfortable. Walking distance to DT Traverse City and the lake through a nice neighborhood with beautiful historical houses.

Great location, awesome host - not a true 1 bd rental

We loved everything about this bnb except for the fact there was no private bedroom with a door or a wall to the common space it connects with. It was difficult to to figure that out from the pictures alone and for that reason I really couldn't give the place 5 stars. Had we wanted to go with a studio there were many other cheaper options in the area to consider. Aside from that the place was quite charming. Wouldn't want to stay there for longer than a couple nights but has the basic necessities to feel comfortable. The host was also very responsive.

Basic accommodations within walking distance of downtown.

The property satisfied our basic need of having a clean place to sleep and visit amongst ourselves. It is also within walking distance of several nice bar and grills. The listing should be more forthright about the lack of private bedroom (it is an open studio). It should also be more forthright about lack of a stovetop or oven and that the fridge is a small drink fridge. We were there to race Iceman, so had no desire for luxuries. Even so, we were surprised at how basic the accommodations were. We carefully read the property description, and almost missed that we would not be able to cook our own meals. A toaster should be added.

Great location!

This was a great location for our girls weekend! There were two breweries very close by, a wine store across the street that was offering free wine tasting, and downtown shops and restaurants were only about a 15 minute walk! This cute and quirky apartment was the perfect place for us. Thanks for everything!
