I really liked this place overall. Great location. Extremely comfortable bed. I had similar concerns as others over the bathroom. While cute and historical, it lacked in function. For just one person, it worked great.

Lovely stay for exploring SW SD
I spent a wonderful week in this well-located clean apartment in Rapid City. I vistied all of the parks in the area, hiking, biking, and driving. This location was a convenient to all, though getting back to the east entrance of Badlands or Minuteman is a bit of a trek. If you are comming from the east, I suggest you hit those on your way out. A drive out to the west side of the Badlands loop for sunset another time is not too far. The place is located near the center of town, though the walk to many restaurants is probably on the long side. The apartment has everything you need and even a sitting area outside if the weather is right. The parking lot is private and hidden off the street despite the central location. The hosts were super responsive and accomodating. I had one small issue when I checked in late at night but while I was out in the morning, it was taken care of and they checked in to make sure everything was OK. (They asked mey permission before entering the unit and let me know exactly when they were there and what they were doing.) Some reviews mentioned the size of the unit. I found it to be roomy - and the size (600 sq ft) is listed on the VBRO page. The only thing I would agree with is that the bathroom is very small. Something to be aware of but not a show stopper UNLESS you have a disability that requires to use an assitive device or need more room to maneuver. Then, it might be a real concern. I would definitely stay here again.

Close and easy to airport
We picked this location for proximity to airport as well as parks we wanted to visit. You will be downtown so it will be a bit noisy at times but worth it. If you enjoy a good steak, don't miss 'Sear' only 1 mile away and very inexpensive. The house is older so plan accordingly; the bathroom is tiny with no electrical outlets. The host is fantastic. Very responsive. We would stay here again.

Great Location
The location, the outdoor patio, and the apartment were all great, except the bathroom. The bathroom needs a little table next to the sink for toiletries (my husband shaved at the kitchen sink) and something to at least hold a bar of soap (if not shampoo, too) in the tub/shower since the edges of the tub are rounded.

Great little hub to see the black hills from.
Great little place to venture out of to see all the sights. It is small but is perfect for 2 people to be comfortable. It is clean and cozy. The ac works well though we didnt need it. The shower is a tub with shower head and the step out is quite high so be careful. I would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend!

Perfect Spot
This property was the perfect location to explore the surrounding areas. We did Wall Drug, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Black Hills National Forest, Badlands and Deadwood in olny 3 days. Property is close to many restaurants within walking distance which made it nice after our long days. Host was very accommodating even after a mishap when booking on my end. You won't be disappointed if you stay here!

Black Hills Adventures
This property was the perfect spot to experience all the Black Hills has to offer. We took day trips to Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Badlands National Park, Wind Cave National Park and Spearfish Canyon. We were able to walk to dinner at Murphy's, Thirsty's and the Independent Ale House. Then we were able to unwind each evening in the spacious living room before retiring to the comfy bed.
Thanks Matt and Jami for the perfect spot to enjoy our South Dakota getaway!

We so enjoyed our stay! Very walkable neighborhood and the close proximity to downtown Rapid City was just what we wanted. Short drives to Custer, Crazy Horse, Mt.
