Chic 2BR Urban Retreat | Downtown Kalamazoo

Loved the stay. Hope to come back.

Everything was clean and neat. The bath tub was surprisingly huge which made it nice for getting our younger kids cleaned up. Easy to walk to the nearby coffee shop and restaurants around Kalamazoo. You can hear a fair amount of street noise and people walking the apartment above, but nothing abnormal for a city apartment. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great location in Kalamazoo. In walking distance of lots of restaurants & shops. Comfortable 1st floor unit with all we needed for our weekend visit.

We were in Kalamazoo for a soccer tournament. This place worked out great for us. Gave us space from the kids and close to the fields! Unit was clean and ready for us when we arrived! Great experience!

Overall, this unit looks very nice. Beds were comfortable with good variety of pillows so you can find what's comfortable for you. The place was clean and very roomy. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I saw the faucet in the kitchen sink wasn't working properly - just a dribble at most. I texted the owner using a number that was given on site, but didn't receive a reply. The power went out, due to a storm, while we were there and this time I contacted the owner via VRBO to see if there were flashlights or emergency lighting anywhere. He responded that there was none. I don't expect anyone to come out during a storm, but when power was still out the next night, it would have been nice to get something. The strangest thing to me was the policy of sending directions (driving, parking, entry) only 2 hours ahead of check in time. Our drives were longer than that. I asked a couple times if we could get the info in advance and the owner did finally send the address (though it was maybe 3 hours before check in.) I'm a planner, so would have liked to have all the info prior to that. Be aware this place can sleep up to 6, but in the living area there is one sofa and one chair, 4 stools at the kitchen counter.
