Its the perfect place to go for a city focused trip. Being within 10 minutes of my favorite winery on old misson and everything else almost a walk away was exactly what i was looking for. I will consider staying here the next time. Views were beautiful

Wonderful and comfortable. I stay here as it is close to a dear friend who lives in the attached Cordia Sr Living. It’s perfect. We can walk to one another and dine and shop all in the Grand Traverse Commons. The grounds are safe and great for walking albeit maybe not during a January storm. Bed was very comfortable. Great water pressure in shower. Good coffee. Comfortable seating and lots of light and warmth. No other apartment looks directly into this unit. I will be back.

This listing was a great spot to be! We used Traverse City as our home base then took day trips to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Charlevoix, Petosky, Mackinac Island, and Leland. We enjoyed brunch at Red Spire, bagel bombs at the Pleasanton Bakery, coffee at Higher Grounds & Cuppa Joe. Although we didn't dine during lunch or dinner at the Village, I'm sure it would've been spectacular!
