My 2nd stay here. We stayed here exactly 2 yrs ago. I probably wouldn’t choose this property again. It’s very clean but needs some updating. Living room furniture is very low and soft. Hard to get up. Only two hardback chairs other than couch. Evenings were not comfortable watching TV. And we did have a slow draining or stopped bathroom sink the very first day that I did report. Everything was very neat and clean.

We come to Pekin frequently to visit family, so this was my fifth time staying at this property. The house is always clean, and is incredibly consistent. This is a nice, quiet neighborhood and I will gladly book the property again if I am staying in the area.

House with Harry Potter decor, nice and quiet.

We have spent three nights at the house and really enjoy the stay. The house sits in quiet neighborhood with short walking distance to the park with nice pound. House has well chosen HP decor, not overwhelming but enough to feel the vibe which we really enjoyed. It has everything you need to stay with nice specious kitchen open to the living room. The host takes really good care to make you feel comfortable. It is a short drive to Peoria where we were watching our daughter in track and field events. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you

convenient and well stocked!

I was on a business trip and needed a place to stay that was more comfortable than a hotel and this was it. Lots of streaming channels, keurig coffees, tea, and a kitchen with anything you would need to cook food. The host, Matt, was very responsive to any questions and instructions about how to get in were really clear!

Stayed here for a week over Christmas/New Years while visiting family, and it was the perfect quiet retreat! The decor was fun, the house was clean, the furniture was cozy, and the neighborhood was quiet. The beds were soft and comfortable, too. I would definitely stay here again.

Cute & Quiet

I only stayed for one night and the property was very cute and quiet. If you're into Harry Potter there were lots of little details to enjoy. I would have liked if the place was a little cleaner but since I was only there for one night it didn't impact me much. To be fair, I didn't have the chance to address this with the owner given I arrived late in the evening and left early the next morning. It was a nice and well equipped apartment if you were staying for longer.

Great stay in Pekin

Property included everything needed to ensure a great stay. Everything was well appointed and the owner went out of their way both with communication and supplying the space to make the stay easy and enjoyable. Small touches such as curtains allowing for the bedroom to be nice and dark were appreciated. There were ample pillows and blankets. The coffee setup was also a nice touch. We would recommend this location to anyone looking for a nice and quiet space to stay in Pekin, IL.

Location good. The bedroom on the left had very uncomfortable mattress! The coffee pot in the picture was missing. Had to repair door knob to bathroom. It was falling off. Handle on stove came off on one side when we opened oven door. Screwed that back in. Had to buy a battery for the fan remote in the room on the left to use the fan. Overall good experience
