This was a really cool building.
This was a great building for a single person/couple. The spiral stairs were a little shakey and there was no wall to the second/loft bedroom. I had loud neighbors one night (Friday) but it was pretty brief. Overall, great host, great building, and great stay.

Perfect Getaway
The Ellis 2 was a perfect place for our stay this weekend. We were in town for our daughter's graduation, so the location was perfect and the beds were comfy! The only thing that would have made the stay better was some low level lighting for evening time as well has more than one roll of paper towels and 2 trash bags would have been very helpful.

Mom / Daughter Trip!
Perfect little spot near all the fun shops, eateries, and the backyard. The backyard grill has outdoor concerts so you have to be okay with that, which we are! And if you are going to a show there, even better!

Waco stop over
We stopped here to break up our road trip to Fredricksburg TX. The ease of booking, checking in was so easy. I’ve never booked one of these before and the owner made it so easy and comfortable. My aunt and uncle who traveled with us was awed. They also had never done this before. So the establishment was clean simple and met my needs for the evening. And within walking distance of the Magnolia Press and bakery where we got nourishment and started in our journey to Fredricksburg.

Cute and comfortable
The Ellis is so cute and comfortable. It was perfect for our party of 3. Great location, easily walkable to The Silos. Area felt safe. Host was easy to reach, the only issue we had was unlocking the property which was quickly addressed. Overall, highly recommend this property.

Waco weekend
Great place. Great location - a couple of blocks down from the Silos. A little noisy - train, dog barking throughout the night next door, and someone working one their car at 2:30am (revving the engine like a maniac). Could have been a little cleaner - hair in the shower drain.

This was a perfect place downtown that was close to the Silos. We enjoyed the walking to local places and the location of everything. Make sure you eat at the local places.

Good but not great
Not bad but not great. Would be great for 1 night but we stayed 3 nights and it lacked all the little extras.
First, the owner was nice to reply and drop off a few things the property lacked. And the unit was very clean.
Room for improvement: No stove, oven or dishwasher (just know that as I assumed they would be there)! Cement floors felt cold; makeup mirror lights did not work; property is right behind an outside bar which played music till late night (one of the nights), not to mention a train blowing its horn every night/early morning. Upstairs room very bright due to outdoor street lighting, and no table lamps to make ambient lighting in main living area- it was either main chandelier is off (and dark) or on and fluorescent bright.
Overall I would give it 3 stars. For the price I was expecting the property to be a bit more quiet, comfortable & posh.
