The location of this place is great for the Nauvoo pageant. Check in process was easy. The kitchen was well stocked with dishware. I wanted to give it a great review but we killed at least 20 spiders during our 3-day stay and every corner had cobwebs. The smell in the place was terrible so we bought some Febreeze and that helped a little. Overall it was quite dirty and we left a day before our stay was over.

Great location

The location was great within only a few minutes of historic Nauvoo. It was great to have kitchen amenities and it slept all 6 my family members, although the second "bedroom" was extremely small and my teenage boy who probably weighs around 100 pounds didn't feel like the bunkbed was strong enough to sleep him on the top. Honestly, everything was fine except the smell. It smells very strongly of cats and made the whole property feel less than clean and made it very hard to relax and enjoy our stay.

Not a pleasant smell

The overall place was clean. But when you walked in there was an overwhelming smell of urine and it was too much for us. We could not stay.

Excellent place to stay

Our stay in Nauvoo was absolutely wonderful, thanks to Rebecca and her exceptional apartment. Rebecca was incredibly informative and proactive in her communications before our stay, making everything seamless and stress-free. The apartment itself was immaculate and exceeded our expectations in every way. It had everything we needed, which truly made our time in Nauvoo easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend staying here—Rebecca has created a fantastic experience for her guests!

Great place

Our family enjoyed our stay at the fairy Bowery. The location was perfect for our visit. We really didn’t spend much time there, but each night when we returned we had a great nights sleep. Plenty of beds, air mattresses, blankets, etc. We loved that it had two full bathrooms for our family of six.

Cat urine SMELL... otherwise quaint place

The smell of cat urine was overwhelming and we had to cancel our second night since we couldn't bear it anymore. Grateful the host refunded night 2. Had it not been for the smell we would have enjoyed our stay. Great location, clean (except for the smell), and quaint style that reflects the area. Host was responsive and allowed us to check in early due to our unexpected early arrival. I missed some of the other reviews about the smell and just went off of the reviews of 8.4 out of 10. Wished I had looked closer. If you don't mind the smell of cat urine, it should be a nice stay.

Great Stay

REALLY nice apartment! Comfy and well stocked with bedding, pots and pans, towels etc. Its an old house, which I love, but the floor creaks so don't plan on sneaking in the kitchen for a midnight snack! We had a super great time and definitely would come back to this apartment!

Good Location, Clean and Comfortable..but the SMELL

Pros: The place was very clean and comfortable for our stay. The location was excellent. The hostess was kind and was willing to make our stay more comfortable. Cons: The smell of pets was REALLY BAD. The odor was overwhelming. It took some time before we got used to it, but it hit us every time we came back there.

Great space and perfect location!

This is a great space and a perfect location. I cant really imagine finding anything better for the price and it was exactly what we needed. The house is old, and I believe that is part of what contributes to the smell, but there's also some kind of animal smell. I honestly wonder if it isn't bats? The primary smell seemed to be coming from the entry area and when we closed of the door at the top of the stairs it made it much better. Overall though, this is a great place. We have animals at home and live on a hobby farm, the smell wasnt that bad and for the price and location I will definitely look to stay here again!
