“I had an amazing experience booking an apartment at The Wilson with Julia. I have never worked with a host so willing to accommodate my work needs and budget. Julia was very responsive and worked with me to find an apartment near the UW campus at an unbeatable price. She offered great advice on the best commute to the UW campus and local restaurants, cafes, and activities. In the end, I had to cancel my booking due to a sudden change of plans, but Juila was nothing but understanding and sympathetic. I have no doubt that, if had worked out, staying in Julia's apartment would have been a great experience. The photos are gorgeous and there are nothing but rave reviews from other tenants. If you get the chance to stay at a Voyageur Extended Stay apartment, please do! Enjoy the beautifully restored, well maintained apartments, precious neighborhoods, and the peace of mind knowing that Julia and her team are invested in taking care of their tenants in a compassionate and professional manner. I cannot recommend The Wilson highly enough!”

“I stayed in the Wilson for nine months and enjoyed my time there. It was always clean, the staff friendly, and Julia went above and beyond whenever an issue would arise. Clearly they value their guests and take extra measures to ensure comfortability. The details and design of the suites are exquisite, with beautiful built-in features and terrazzo floors. Modern appliances with a flair of art deco charm. I highly recommend the Wilson!”

“I stayed at a studio in the Wilson for 11 weeks during the fall of 2025. My apartment was sunny and everything I needed was provided. Everything. The towels were cushy, the bed was comfortable and there was a deep tub. What more could anyone need? Nothing. My office was 5 blocks away and no matter what time of evening I walked home there were always enough people out on the street for me to feel safe. Every member of management was warm, efficient and responsive. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks, everyone.”

“We rented this adorable apartment for our twenty year old daughter for the summer, and it is absolutely fabulous! Beautifully appointed, centrally located, and safe, the apartment afforded her every amenity she needed and more. The full kitchen and refrigerator allowed her to cook meals, and the awesome fixtures throughout gave the place a funky yet sophisticated feel. She loved the giant tv and the free laundry too! The owners were more than helpful and went above and beyond their role as landlord/landlady! I would highly recommend this cool place for a short or a long stay! It's truly unique and awesome!”

“Julia and her team are absolutely wonderful. They’re incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and consistently go above and beyond to make the entire experience seamless. From the start, I was impressed by their professionalism, and by the quality of the apartments. The units at Wilson and The Medallion are beautiful, well-maintained, and clearly managed with a lot of care and attention to detail. The interior design is excellent: tasteful, inviting, and thoughtfully put together. Everything feels intentional, which elevates the overall experience. They were also very flexible in accommodating my split booking between Unit F and Unit O for my last trip to Madison, and they resolved a payment issue quickly and smoothly. On top of that, the team was proactive and highly reliable in handling packages that arrived earlier than expected, making sure they were safely stored before my check-in. It’s rare to find a team that combines such great service, responsiveness, and genuine care. I honestly think it's the best customer experience I've had so far, in any industry. I highly recommend Julia and her team if you’re looking for a smooth, stress-free, and truly accommodating stay.”

“Our apartment was beautiful, clean, and very well outfitted! We just needed to pack our suitcases with clothes and everything from linens and housewares were provided. The location was excellent to all the restaurants and stores surrounding the Capitol! Madison is a great city to explore and do business in!”

“Julia and the staff at The Wilson were fantastic. The space was perfect for my needs. Any needs I ever had were tended to and accommodated quickly. Julia was easy to work with and understanding regarding a pet issue I had. Everything was at my fingertips. I will definitely recommend The Wilson to other travel nurses and friends/family looking to stay in Madison in the future.”

“Kristopher and Julia as well as the rest of the Voyageur team made my stay incredible! Madison wouldn’t have felt like home without their brilliant hospitality. They were quick to respond to questions, fix maintenance issues, provide new bedding/furniture, and extremely generous overall. They really know how to take care of their tenants!! For anyone looking for an amazing stay, definitely consider The Wilson, or any other of their properties.”
