About this apartment rental

The City Roost @ Timberline Flats | Balcony | Walkable | AC | Downtown |
Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Living Area: Queen Murphy Bed

A spacious, updated apartment located in the world-famous French Cat. Two queen beds and one bathroom. Just a short walk to everything downtown. It is 1/2 mile from the beach and 1/2 block from Tart trail. Enjoy the weather with your own private balcony. This is a second floor apartment with no elevator service.

This apartment is a fabulous space. Located in a boarding house which was built in the 1800s, this apartment is a modern beauty. Approx 450 square feet of brand new finishes, make this one of the most exciting furnished apartment spaces available in Traverse City. The flooring has been replaced but it is very slanted, its totally safe but there is about an 18" increase from one side of the unit to the other. Eighth street is a mixed-use neighborhood, with both businesses and homes . This apartment is upstairs with no elevator service.

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.

Outstanding. Perfect for our trip. Thank you.

Loved the City Roost. I grew up two blocks north of the Roost on Washington Street. Back in the late 60s and early 70s the first floor was a meat market and store where we got pop and junk food. During our stay, we have coffee or cocktails on the balcony and reminisce about those days

The place was very clean, and communication with the owner was easy.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2024
You can't deny the location is great. The unit not so much. Nothing in the house is level. The shower is so small, a toddler would barely fit. The shower head was terrible and I did call and ask Troy to replace it and he did. Troy and the location are great. I spent most of my time out and away from the unit, because it is so uncomfortable to walk around in it. I will not stay again and I would not recommend this place to anyone.
