The location, apartment itself, and everything the host offered was great. It was a perfect base for exploring Munising, Pictured Rocks, and the surrounding area. However, as soon as we walked in the entire place smelled like cigarette smoke. It was so bad, we had to go buy a plug in air freshener to help with it. We did message the host as soon as we got in, but didn’t get a response until the next day. It seems to be a continuing and known issue, as many others had commented on it after looking more closely at reviews. It’s likely from an adjacent apartment or business, but having an air purifier available to guests would be a great idea. There is also a motion activated light in the main living/sleeping area that is active once lights are out. Even rolling over in bed or adjusting your pillow sets it off. In all, the place was great aside from a couple major details in our opinion. If you’re sensitive to cigarette smoke, this is not the place for you.

Great location in the vicinity for lots of adventures, tourist attractions, etc. Clean . Food selection nearby wasn't amazing. A few local spots we were able to find, we traveled to marquette to eat a couple of nights. Overall The location was perfect for all of your outdoor activities.

We needed a home base for our hiking exploration of the clifftops along pictured rocks, and Barbie and Ken's Studio was perfect for the two of us. The desk in a separate room allowed my wife to catch up on work without disturbing other sleepers.
The bed was comfortable and layout spacious. Know that the unit is on a second floor of an older building, so the floors are not quite level - but you get used to it.
Very comfortable, easy to access (follow directions!) and walkable to most of the places in town we were interested in exploring.
