Cute place in fabulous location and great price. But is loud though and can hear everything happening very clearly outside the windows. Would’ve been helpful to know cost of parking which was not shared. Thermostat was stuck on cold and we couldn’t get a place to heat up. Temperature is dropped at night due to Michigan winter weather so that was not ideal. Contacted host about about the situation and never heard back.

This apartment is located right in the middle of where you need to be if you are visiting your kid in law school. I can't speak to any other experience, but I love being right in the middle of everything. The apartment itself is very cute, including a record player, a Murphy bed, and an old card catalog. The Murphy bed is surprisingly very comfortable, although getting to it is a little challenging if you have any physical disability I would pre-plan how you're going to get on to such a high bed with the couch underneath it being in the way. Overall, I think the owners did an excellent job of setting this up so that you get the most out of such a small space. The kitchen is usable, the shower has a door rather than a curtain which I prefer, and there is seating that actually works and isn't just for show. I highly recommend this space.

Clean and super access to U of M. Noisy so we had to use the box fan white noise on Spotify and the earplugs provided by the hosts. I think that is the trade off to being so close to college students . Would stay again!

Very beautiful stay!

We enjoyed our stay, we went into this knowing about street noise and planned on drinking late anyway. The hop cat had great food and beer, highly recommend. The parking garage was 18 for the one night stay. And close enough to walk to the truck to smoke. Oh yea the pizza downstairs is amazing. You will eat it cause you smell it in the hallway and you won’t be able to skip out lol.

GREAT LOCATION!

Overall very calm and nice stay at this Vrbo. A cozy listing in a very very convenient location. If you like pizza, or just New York food, you are so so so in luck. The NYPD pizza joint right below is such an amazing spot it’s almost worth staying at this cozy spot just for the convenience of simply walking downstairs for a slice, some knots, and a slice of red velvet cake.

Great place, central location but noisy

The rental itself was adorable and centrally located. The bathroom was not ideal, but fine for a couple of days. If you don't mind loud college students partying intothe late night hours, then I would highly recommend this place.

Perfect Urban Stay

GREAT location. But be aware you are in the heart of the energy of downtown Ann Arbor. There is street noise but if you’re used to an urban atmosphere, it’s like home. If not, the lovely hosts provide a white noise machine and ear buds. I arrived on a Saturday and miraculously found a spot right across the street. Parked for the weekend and walked everywhere. The decor was amazing.. warm and welcoming . Incredibly comfortable bed. Spacious bathroom. Cute little kitchenette for coffee or to warm your leftovers because there is no need to cook given the proximity to all of the cafes and restaurants. Perfect for a 2-4 day stay. No TV… didn’t need it as we enjoyed what the city had to offer. But once there, was comfortable enough to just relax in the cozy chairs, read my book or listen to records on the provided record player. My PhD student (the reason for my visit) said it would be the perfect studio apartment. This will be my first choice the next time I visit!

Cute, well-appointed spot close to everything in downtown A2

The space is very cozy and clean, with an individual touch (more and more rare these days). Checkin was easy, and the apartment is easy walking distance to all downtown attractions, especially dining & shopping. I was a little disappointed that a neighboring tenant played techno fairly loud from 6am-checkout, so sleeping wasn’t the best.
