Accommodations were lovely as was the view. Street parking was not a problem. Highly recommend a stay here. The only drawback is the staircase if you have mobility issues and the proximity to the railroad tracks if you are a light sleeper! But honestly, these were not an issue with our stay, just a heads up. This property has other room options and the pictures show a great representation of the space. I may come back just to stay in one of the other options! Hosts are great to work with!!

We stayed in the pocket city penthouse. It was quite spacious, with historic charm (gorgeous wood floors), and had a wonderful view of the Mississippi. This place and McGregor in general, are gems for anyone who appreciates history-- and especially those who enjoy a mix of natural beauty and preserved architecture.

Great location, lots of space and all that we needed. It would have been nice if the air conditioning had been turned on because it was very hot and took quite some time to cool down. The beds were very uncomfortable
