If you like the smell of cats, cat urine, and dust then this place is for you. Find a different location if you are sensitive to smell!

Great Stay
REALLY nice apartment! Comfy and well stocked with bedding, pots and pans, towels etc. Its an old house, which I love, but the floor creaks so don't plan on sneaking in the kitchen for a midnight snack! We had a super great time and definitely would come back to this apartment!

Disappointing and Misleading Experience.
I recently stayed at this apartment and was extremely disappointed. The pictures promised a clean, cozy space with a blue couch, a tan chair, a beautiful rug, and a twin bed. However, the reality was far from what was advertised. The blue couch was actually covered in a sloppy, ill-fitting cover over a non-functioning pull-out bed. The tan chair? Covered with an unattractive floral print slipcover. There was no rug in sight. To make matters worse, the house smelled strongly of cat urine upon entering, and the odor only intensified when the air conditioner was on, circulating the smell throughout the apartment. When I brought this up to the owner, I was told, "Some people smell it, some don’t," and they offered me a candle as a solution. A candle?! There's even a note on the refrigerator that says, "Do not use air fresheners in the apartment, only cleaning supplies," which made me question if the apartment had been cleaned properly. I’m shocked that no one has written a review about this before. I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean and pleasant stay.

Cute little place
It was a cute little place. It was just me and a friend so plenty of room. Excellent location and easy parking. I could smell the cat smell that other reviews posted about so just be aware of that if you are allergic. The place was clean. We didn't need to use the kitchen at all so I can't speak to appliances.

It just had a funny smell - like it had been shut up for awhile or was musty. Other than the funky odor everything was clean and easy to utilize

Comfort
The master bed is comfortable. The bunk beds appear to be sized and accessible for children rather than adults (tight squeeze but doable). Two full baths great for multiple people staying. The kitchen has plenty dishware, utensils, equipment. The rooms are clean. Rebeca was readily reachable.

Great Location
We had a great stay in the Fairy Bowery! On the website it has a single bed listed in the bedroom, we were happy to see it was a bunk bed! We had a great stay and the host was very accommodating.

Great place
Our family enjoyed our stay at the fairy Bowery. The location was perfect for our visit. We really didn’t spend much time there, but each night when we returned we had a great nights sleep. Plenty of beds, air mattresses, blankets, etc. We loved that it had two full bathrooms for our family of six.

The property is in a great location and has two full bathrooms. It is definitely an older home with all the charms that come with it. There was an issue with the cleaning schedule and the unit was not clean when we arrived. The owner was very responsive and did her best to take care of the situation. Parking was right at the unit and always available. We stayed 6 nights and did laundry at the local laundry mat which is very close to the unit.

Location is excellent, property was clean
I would stay here again and would recommend to family and friends. It's in a cute old building. My parents appreciated the Master bedroom and bath. Just up the street from the temple and Zion's Mercantile. And a quick drive to the historic buildings. There are stairs to get to the front door and a few more stairs just inside. But, the outside steps are lighted and all the stairs are easy to navigate.

We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Host responded rapidly to communication and values constructive feedback. The unit was older and quirky but very comfortable. Kitchen was well appointed for preparing and eating our simple meals. We watched our favorite series using the HDMI cable that the host thoughtfully provided, and there was a Roku device attached, but we did not use it. WiFi had lots of bandwidth. Convenience store and Dollar General directly next door on either side, respectively. Would be a great unit for a young family on a visit to Nauvoo.

Upside: the property was very conveniently located to historic Nauvoo, easy to find, easy to park at, fit our whole family (2 adults 4 kids), & gave us a way to prepare food during our stay, so on that front it was exactly what we were looking for. Downside: cleanliness wise it felt like we may have been the first stay after the winter off season, the windows were so drafty the paper blinds would move/scrape through the night, one shower head fixture would spray water over the shower door, & there was no direct thermostat control. Bottom line: there’s a reason it was cheaper than other options in the area, & if you go in knowing that, you’ll be fine. It was a place to stay & worked fine, it just wasn’t what you call a great stay.

It was in a great location. The unit was clean but there was a heavy smell of cats. The walk-in shower would only flow for 15 seconds and would shut off. Finally discovered a weird little valve behind the shower head.

Love this apartment.
Loved this home. This cozy home was built about 1901. We enjoyed our stay there. Queen bedroom with full bathroom. Second bathroom by the kitchen. Second bedroom has a twin bed. There is also a sofa sleeper and air mattress. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware, dishes, toaster, coffee maker, ice cream maker, mixer, blender and slow cooker. We were able to cook all our meals. I loved it. Owner is quick to respond to question. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. I was so grateful I was able to bring my 14 year old cat. This was a home away from home. It is on a second floor. There is a secure private entrance. Parking on site. It’s a gem in Nauvoo.
