The Pull-String Penthouse | Walk Everywhere | AC
The Pull-String Penthouse
Bedroom 1: Queen Bed
This unique and spacious apartment in the heart of downtown Traverse City will immerse your in historic charm with lights on pullstrings, reminiscent of the turn of the century. This delightful apartment features a bedroom with a queen bed, a cozy living room, a convenient kitchenette (no stove), and a well-appointed bathroom. Nestled in a bustling area, you're just steps away from downtown's vibrant attractions, dining, and entertainment. Experience Traverse City in old world style at the Pullstring Penthouse!
Other things to note:
This is an old building which has been lovingly renovated one apartment at a time. It is safe, comfortable and clean but also very quirky and definitely not perfect. You would be disappointed if you expected a modern exterior. But, the apartments are newly remodeled, plush, and comfortable. It is a blast to stay here, and it is hard to find a closer room to downtown at such a reasonable price.
Living in the middle of the fun, sometimes means you can hear street noises from local businesses (late night dance music) or traffic. White noise machines available in the unit to block out unwanted noise and potentially promote more restful sleep.
OUTDOORS
Shared outdoor space nestled right on the TART Trail

Great Location
This is an older property with typical issues related to older architecture. This is a great property for someone who wants to spend there time out-n-about in Traverse City. Lots of stuff is easily within walking distance. A bike shop with rentals is just down the street. It is only a few minute ride to downtown TC.
Great communication with the management of the property

It was a place to stay…
There was some confusion regarding checkin with the initial communication/instruction due to a change in the hosts process. All in all, check in was otherwise quite smooth. The place was very clean with the exception of the shower, which was very tiny. There was some mildew at the bottom corner of the shower curtain that flaked off into the shower. Additionally, around the seams of the shower surround it was black and unpleasant looking. The location was great for access to all of the things that we wanted to see and do. A drawback to the neighborhood is that there was a dance club across the street that had incredibly loud bass that you could feel reverberate throughout the apartment as you were trying to sleep. Property manager was communicative and helpful with questions as they arose, but it was initially unclear what phone number should be called to reach them.

Pull String Stay
Property was priced cheap, but needs major updates. Shower is sized for a child, bed is creaky and uncomfortable.
Ceiling paint over the bed is also peeling/looks like it’s going to fall on you.
You could hear residents/other renters walking like they were right on top of you at all hours.
Host kept asking for us for a 5 star review in exchange for a good review on our end. I don’t like that pressure, I want to be honest for future renters.
We would not stay here again based on the almost doubling of nightly rates unless it was majorly updated. Honestly wouldn’t stay again even if it was at the same rate again. Spend more for a better place. Traverse city has a lot more to offer than this!

Anniversary Getaway
The French Cat is in a great location, close to the bay and all the downtown fun! The apartment was very clean, small, but had all the room and amenities we needed. And Troy was an attentive host - his instructions for our check in were detailed, was quick to respond to our inquiries, and made check out a breeze. Thanks for a great getaway!

Great location but property needs some updates
The location was wonderful; lots to do within walking distance and much more within a 5 minute drive. Note this is a 2nd story unit so you must haul luggage upstairs. The place is cute but needs some updating and repairs. Shower was tiny and showerhead very low so ideal for short people. No ceiling fan in bedroom but there was a floor fan in living room we moved into bedroom.

Great location and price for a stay in Traverse City
We had a wonderful time on our visit! A seemingly historic building with parking and a place to lock up our bikes which we appreciated. Spacious bathroom with a shower, bedroom and living kitchen area was all we needed. Quick walk to downtown and very close to Boardman Lake and the Tart Trail.
