A Little Urban Oasis in The Heart of Bay View

Going by what the hosts Brett and Anna like to call it, this one-bedroom “urban oasis” is a beautifully designed bright and sunny apartment on the first floor of an 1870s Polish Flat is located among one of the most desirable neighborhoods of Milwaukee. Within a 10 minutes-drive away from the airport, the Downtown area, Miller Park, Mitchell Park, and the Marquette University, this place is also quite close to the city’s best bike trails including the Hank Aaron Trail and the Oak Leaf Trail.

Anna, an interior designer herself, has ensured that the thoughtful touches to the beautiful interiors of this place make the apartment very hospitable and visually appeasing.

Basement of The House Hosted by Brett and Anna

Owing to the Polish Flat construction of the building, the second guest space of the above listed building hosted by Brett and Anna is not your typical everyday basement. Though the front door and the foyer are shared with the upper unit, everything else is self-contained and this unit of the house has a private patio as well where the guests can chill during the warmer months. Since there’s another guest unit just above this one, the hosts do not recommend this one for very light sleepers. Other than that, this place is as good as the first one, and even better as it is where the hosts themselves stay when they are not travelling.
