Adorable in Ann Arbor
My husband and I were staying in Ann Arbor for a couple of days while my dad was in the hospital having surgery. We arrived really late in the evening and EVERYTHING was immaculate! So clean, so cute, so well stocked! The only disadvantage, which the owners can't control, is the parking. There isn't parking at the house, so you have to walk a little bit. It was beautiful weather while we were there, so not a real big deal at all. But carrying luggage down the street was a bit weird. That said we'd stay here again over and over and over! The cleanliness was the best I've ever stayed at! Thank you for a beautiful place and for sharing it with us!

The apartment was just as described and looked as beautiful as in the pictures. Comfy basement apartment hideaway that felt so cozy and welcoming. Lots of thiutful touches - and everything I could ask for to cook in and not have to go out into the cold! Will definitely stay again.

Cozy Ann Arbor apartment
Great location, close to downtown and University of Michigan. Lots of dining and shopping options that are walkable. The unit is upgraded nicely, was very comfortable for 3 adults. Only downside is no parking at unit. Kathy offers a parking pass for an extra 15 in a private lot. It’s just two or three house where you say definitely worth the extra 15.we would definitely say here again!

Great Location
This clean, well-appointed lower floor apartment is ideally located for easy access to Kerry Town, UMich, and riverside walking trail. Coffee, shops, and farmer’s market are all within a 10-minute walk. Its size is perfect for 1-2 people.

Excellent rental for a couple or small family
This was exactly the type of stay we were looking for when coming to Ann Arbor. It had ideal amenities, easy access/check-in, a beautiful bathroom/shower space, and was conveniently located. Kathy was very responsive, would 100% recommend this place!

Perfect Cozy Spot in Ann Arbor
Kathy was an excellent host. I was traveling to town for work and she accommodated a goofy schedule change before my stay, let me use the parking spot at another property so I could avoid a ticket, and was generally just plain lovely. I've never had a host reach out and ask if I needed anything the day after I checked in! The space was impeccably clean, well stocked with any essential you might need, and perfect for a couple days stay in town. It's walking distance to the heart of A2, so if you're looking for a great location, this is your spot. So thankful for my experience here!

Cozy home with all the amenities in Ann Arbor
We had a positive experience staying here when visiting Ann Arbor last month. While it was not exactly downtown, the home was totally walkable to most restaurants and campus and located in a quiet, safe neighborhood. The home had a small kitchen with all the supplies we needed to cook some simple meals. The electricity went out due to a storm and the host was kind enough to offer us a refund on that day (which we ended up not needing to do!). There was plenty of parking nearby. Overall it was a perfect spot for our small family of 3. I would highly recommend staying here!

Convenient and Comfortable
This small but efficient garden apartment met all of my needs and more as a single traveler. It is conveniently located to charming Kerrytown and UMich. I found most things of interest to me walkable. This space could have easily passed as acceptable due to its location and price point but the proprietor takes it up a notch by adding well appointed luxury touches like a rain shower, towel warmer, bath robes, a basket of snacks and coffee/cream for the morning. I also appreciate the minimal list of requirements necessary for checkout. (Some rentals expect you to complete a whole list of chores before leaving on top of the cleaning fee automatically charged.) This place does technically sleep 4 but, for me, that would be too "peoply". It however is perfection for the single traveler or a couple who appreciates each other's company and just needs a clean, comfortable place to stay while they explore this fabulous college town. The one drawback, as other reviewers have stated, is the parking (possibly enough to remove half to 1 star off the rating). There is no private drive or parking on the street directly in front of the house. You have to park on one of the adjacent blocks then carry your items to the rental. This should not, however, be too big of an issue as long as you are traveling light. Having said that, for those with no car at all, I think it is only a 7 minute walk from the train station.

Got to see the Tigers pitch a combined no-hitter followed by a relaxing stay in Ann Arbor! Very cute and clean with everything we needed on-site. Easy walking distance to everything the campus area has to offer. It’s been commented on here already by others, so we knew what we were getting ahead of time, but parking was the only downside. Would definitely stay here again the next time we’re in town.

Perfectly located and peaceful home. We looked forward to returning each night. The hostess was very kind. The street parking wasn’t too far away and the hostess let us park next door since she didn’t have guests for a few days. I would definitely stay here again without a doubt.
