This is a very old property. Of course for the money I did expect this. Flight and a half of stairs up to rooms. Not a real two bedroom-a curtain separates bunk beds from living area. We thought there were two queens plus bunk beds (says 6 people). Under bed was dirty. Smelled and problems opening up windows when it got stuffy, warm. Cheap option for Nauvoo but for a family on the cheap. Fairies around were cute. Kitchen was clean. Had games.

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 Location

We had a great stay in the Fairy Bowery! On the website it has a single bed listed in the bedroom, we were happy to see it was a bunk bed! We had a great stay and the host was very accommodating.

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!

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.

Cute little place

It was a cute little place. It was just me and a friend so plenty of room. Excellent location and easy parking. I could smell the cat smell that other reviews posted about so just be aware of that if you are allergic. The place was clean. We didn't need to use the kitchen at all so I can't speak to appliances.

If you like the smell of cats, cat urine, and dust then this place is for you. Find a different location if you are sensitive to smell!

Comfort

The master bed is comfortable. The bunk beds appear to be sized and accessible for children rather than adults (tight squeeze but doable). Two full baths great for multiple people staying. The kitchen has plenty dishware, utensils, equipment. The rooms are clean. Rebeca was readily reachable.

Location is excellent, property was clean

I would stay here again and would recommend to family and friends. It's in a cute old building. My parents appreciated the Master bedroom and bath. Just up the street from the temple and Zion's Mercantile. And a quick drive to the historic buildings. There are stairs to get to the front door and a few more stairs just inside. But, the outside steps are lighted and all the stairs are easy to navigate.

Apartment in Nauvoo

The property is in a great location and has two full bathrooms. It is definitely an older home with all the charms that come with it. There was an issue with the cleaning schedule and the unit was not clean when we arrived. The owner was very responsive and did her best to take care of the situation. Parking was right at the unit and always available. We stayed 6 nights and did laundry at the local laundry mat which is very close to the unit.
