Our room was incredibly comfortable and immaculately clean. Breakfast was delicious, filling, beautiful, and unique. The location is also great, as it's a quick Uber to the heart of downtown or to the airport, and a very short walk to lots of fun bars. I also recommend a longer walk to St Josaphat Basilica, which was recommended by Mary Ellen and also some other guests. It was probably the most beautiful church I've seen in the US. This place is an absolute steal, and staying here made our relaxing and adventurous weekend away even more memorable.

We had lunch one day at Centraal which was very good. We wanted to try a few more restaurants but already had family commitments to attend. We definitely plan on returning to the Muse in the near future and look forward to trying the other local restaurants. Lastly, we stayed in the Cheryl room which had the private bathroom just outside the room. This was no problem at all as we still felt very comfortable and it was still very convenient. Cute room, comfortable bed, and overall a wonderful place to stay. Oh yeah, the breakfasts were tasty, filling and set me up for the rest of my day!! A must stay! Excellent value and quality.

All I need, in life really, are sleeping cats and shelves and shelves of book. it is in a great spot within Bay View that is near coffee shops restaurants, breweries, bars, etc. I always enjoy walking into a used book store. The smell of vintage and well-loved books is a magical thing. Most of the books I picked up were reasonably price and in great condition. The owner (maybe?) was welcoming, helpful, and ready to answer questions about the shop (and cats). Such a quaint and beautiful environment to wander about and find a book (or more) that supports the community. Also, support local, independent bookshops. So much of a recommend!

The store is heavily stocked but not overwhelming; it takes a while to see it all and decide what all I wanted to get. It is a lot of fun to shop here. Park at the Public Market for the easiest way to find a spot or wait for a spot on the street. I am not sure about accessibility as it is a few steps to get in the front door.
