What guests think
Across recent reviews, Retreat Suite 4 - Downtown Getaway is praised for its clean, recently updated, cozy space and a very responsive host, with easy check-in and a comfortable setup that suits short stays.
Guests highlight a walkable location near Van Andel, DeVos, the zoo, and downtown spots, plus convenient public transit and generally easy street parking. Reported downsides include a steep stairway and high step-in tub that are difficult for those with mobility concerns, occasional strong cleaning scents, and inconsistent temperature control. A few note basic furnishings or a firm mattress, while most find the essentials provided. Overall, expect a simple, centrally located apartment that's best for two and pet-friendly stays.

Place is very clean, nicely decorated, and close to downtown GR. An updated second floor unit in an older multi family house. Host is quick to respond to inquiries. No issues with parking on the street. Neighborhood is somewhat active day and night, but reasonably quiet.

Host was very responsive. It was clean with newer renovations. It was up one set of stairs. We went on 90 degree days and the two window AC units kept the entire place nice and cool. The mattress was on the firmer side. Couch was comfortable as well.There was plenty street of parking at the rental. It was a short walk downtown and quick access to public transport, ubers and bikes/scooters.Wouldn't hesitate to stay again and would definitely recommend!

My wife & I are seniors with 2 small dogs so we weren't expecting to walk up & down a narrow stairway to get to our room on the second floor especially with two dogs to take in & out. the other issue is the so call shower is a claw foot tub with shower curtains inside the tub to keep the water in. The curtain was stained & felt enclosed while using it. If we had pics of either of these issues then we would of booked elsewhere. It's hard for us to lift our leg to get inside of it. Other than that the place was clean & comfortable.

This place was perfect for a last minute stay in Grand Rapids. The property is cute inside, as well as being very clean and updated. It is definitely cozy, but for my husband and I, it was a perfect size. As mentioned in other reviews, the stairs are definitely something to be aware of. We brought our senior dog and I had just planned on carrying her, so it wasn’t a big deal for us, but if you have bad knees or older dogs, be aware. :) Stephanie was very communicative and friendly. We would stay in any of her properties in the future. :) thank you!!

I was very happy with our stay at this property! A perfect location. Spouse and I were easily able to walk to downtown Grand Rapids to enjoy the sights. We even walked to John Ball Zoo. Room was clean and comfortable. My only real complaint was that there was not a toaster in the kitchen, but we were able to improvise easily with the oven. Host was responsive, detailed, and super polite; check in and checkout were very easy! Not a complaint at all, but something to note - this property is not for you if you have any mobility issues. There is a steep staircase leading up to the unit and the shower has a very high step-in/step-out situation that requires balance and care. Overall, extremely happy with our stay!

The host was very responsive and all instructions were clear. The apartment was very clean. The host allows dogs which is wonderful and not always easy to find. I just wish our dogs were not so noisy which is no fault of the property owner. This was a great place to stay and I highly recommend it.

As advertised, pictures are accurate. Communication with Stephanie was great. My only advise is to add that this apartment is up a flight of steep steps. We had to bring our dog who has some back leg problems and I would have picked one of the lower level rentals if I would have known this. Otherwise all was good. Thanks Stephanie.

We stayed 5 nights. The location was great. We could walk to some restaurants and coffee shops. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was great, and there were other nice amenities. The living room furniture is cheaply made and very uncomfortable if you plan to use that part of the apartment. The owner uses cleaning products or sprays that are cloyingly floral and never faded in the five days we were there. It made me very unhappy but I did not get a headache from it.If the furniture was upgraded and the cleaning products changed, I would rent this place again.

The apartment was just what my son and I needed to break away from a hotel stay. Having special dietary needs, we wanted to stay somewhere that we could prepare our own simple meals. The little kitchen handled the two of us very well. We found a market just a half mile away. Anything we needed downtown was convenient to get to. Communications before and during our first were incredibly timely! I felt secure that any issues we had would be quickly resolved (but we had no issues). We enjoyed our stay. The couch was reasonably comfortable (I let my son have the bedroom ☺️). AC/fan worked and kept the bedroom cool for sleeping (did not use the living area unit). Windows worked and the ceiling fans helped circulate fresh air throughout the day. Not a lot of frills, but we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

We rented this apartment while seeing a performance at De Voss with no regrets. Great location, very clean and the host was outstanding from start to finish. Will definitely rent again. Thanks for a perfect stay Stephanie.

I was very happy with our stay at this property! A perfect location. Spouse and I were easily able to walk to downtown Grand Rapids to enjoy the sights. We even walked to John Ball Zoo. Room was clean and comfortable. My only real complaint was that there was not a toaster in the kitchen, but we were able to improvise easily with the oven. Host was responsive, detailed, and super polite; check in and checkout were very easy! Not a complaint at all, but something to note - this property is not for you if you have any mobility issues. There is a steep staircase leading up to the unit and the shower has a very high step-in/step-out situation that requires balance and care. Overall, extremely happy with our stay!

This place was recently updated and well equipped with everything we needed. It was nice to have some basic items in the kitchen for cooking. This neighborhood is centrally located within walking distance to downtown. We never heard anyone else in the building.

Host was very responsive. It was clean with newer renovations. It was up one set of stairs. We went on 90 degree days and the two window AC units kept the entire place nice and cool. The mattress was on the firmer side. Couch was comfortable as well.There was plenty street of parking at the rental. It was a short walk downtown and quick access to public transport, ubers and bikes/scooters.Wouldn't hesitate to stay again and would definitely recommend!

This place was perfect for a last minute stay in Grand Rapids. The property is cute inside, as well as being very clean and updated. It is definitely cozy, but for my husband and I, it was a perfect size. As mentioned in other reviews, the stairs are definitely something to be aware of. We brought our senior dog and I had just planned on carrying her, so it wasn’t a big deal for us, but if you have bad knees or older dogs, be aware. :) Stephanie was very communicative and friendly. We would stay in any of her properties in the future. :) thank you!!

As advertised, pictures are accurate. Communication with Stephanie was great. My only advise is to add that this apartment is up a flight of steep steps. We had to bring our dog who has some back leg problems and I would have picked one of the lower level rentals if I would have known this. Otherwise all was good. Thanks Stephanie.
