Why? You can easily walk to anywhere in town--harbor, restaurants, shops, grocery. Note that the unit is on the second floor above a boutique and that was not an issue for us. Unit is nicely updated, very clean and comfortable, and has a full kitchen. You do have peeks of Lake Superior out the windows, but if you're looking for a balcony with full lakeview you'll need to look elsewhere. When we wanted that, we just strolled over to the Gunflint Tavern for beverages and the view! And did I mention that Worlds' Best Donuts is only two doors down...yum! Recommended.
