Book Club Trip
Really fun place to stay. Gave us a nice taste of old Detroit. Owners have done a great job with the MoTown theme throughout the house, we used all of the juke boxes. Took a Uber to Tiger game and spent both evenings hanging at house. Used porches in morning and evenings. Location is very convenient for exploring Detroit. Highly recommend this place!

Perfect house for a wedding party
14 adults and 2 infants stayed at this great , tastefully-decorated house ,and we hosted 50 more (on a come & go basis) for brunch and everyone fit happily! It's a lovely, spacious place and provided a perfect spot to make warm memories on a wedding weekend. The 1st & 2nd floors are clones of each other, with spacious kitchens, LRs & DRs -- so we had bagels and coffee downstairs and Middle Eastern food & champagne upstairs for the Sunday brunch following Saturday's wedding. Could not have worked out better! David, the host, was practically instantaneous in his communications with us, answering our questions. We went to the Motown Museum Friday (reserve in advance!), a short walk. And if you have time, take the 3/4 mile walk down West Grand to the Fisher Building which is stunning! The weather cooperated and we had a wonderful time, leaving with fond memories of Detroit and our Motown home!

We had a large group stay for weekend to tailgate at the lions game Sunday and enjoy Detriot and what is has to offer. This is an amazing place to stay!! So clean we just felt so comfortable lounging around and enjoying the house. The house is themed Motown as it’s a few doors down the the Motown museum. It done to perfection, not at all over done or

Best vacation rental I’ve ever stayed at!
EVERYTHING about this place was exceptional. It is 1/2 block from Motown Museum. We felt like we were immersed in the history of Motown - from the artwork, the jukeboxes on every floor, and the little memorabilia touches in this property. You could FEEL this history of Motown! The amenities themselves - PLENTY of everything- anything we needed - already there! The sleeping spaces were all private and comfy. Property manager was super attentive- we really didn’t need anything but when I emailed a question - I had an immediate response. Attended a wedding on the riverfront downtown - VERY SHORT UBER ride which was much less expensive the parking in that area. You will not regret booking this spacious, meticulous space!

Description doesn't do property justice
This will be indepth - tl;dr: The vrbo is amazing, highly recommended especially for large groups, the area is safe, and the owners communicated in a timely manner and with great information. 1. The number of beds: There are 4 private rooms off of the first and second floor with a queen bed each. There are 2 more rooms with bunkbeds that are a queen+full. On the third floor is a private room with a queen bed and a loft in a large common room with a twin bed. There are many couches that can hold less picky people as well. 2. The neighborhood is safe, there is a hospital with private security as well as a police department just blocks away. There are rundown houses, but the area is being renovated. The secured parking can hold 4-5 cars, we had no problems with people parking on the street. Lyft and Uber operated in area. 3. The house is amazing. It was well cleaned, there are gas stoves on two levels, showers had good pressure and heat, the little touches like the jukeboxes, record players, and 8 track players truly made the Motown theming great instead of tacky / cheaply themed. 4. We talked a lot with owner due to being from out of town and coordinating a private wedding event here. The communication was prompt, we were made aware of any issues with the property ahead of time, and finally, this property was free from some of the frustrating micromanagement that is all too common in short term rentals these days.

A Fantastic BNB
I surprised my friends and family with the Motown BNB and a Stevie Wonder impersonator for my birthday weekend in the D. The lower level was the perfect backdrop for Stevie's performance and a dance party afterwards. 11 of us enjoyed all of the amenities and the spaciousness of the house. The host David responded right away to any questions or concerns. An exceptional stay overall. Would definitely return!

Fabulous place to stay
This was the perfect place to stay for my group of college friends that grew up with Motown. The house is fabulous and a very short walk to the Motown Museum and short drives to all the other places in downtown Detroit that we wanted to visit. It had everything we needed - lots of space for the group, well-appointed kitchens for us to cook in and juke boxes on every level to inspire our sing-along sessions! We have gotten together for 38 years at many locations and we all agreed that this was the best house we have ever rented. Thanks so much!

Motown Dream
There aren't enough good things we could say about the amazing experience we had, as well as our guests. We live about 5 minutes away and booked this rental as a place for our out-of-town friends and family to stay, as well as a place for any guests to crash that needed the night of the wedding. Our friends came into town to make our wedding dessert & cake, they even made that here. Everyone had enough space to be comfortable while still having plenty of common space to socialize. We the bridal party dressed up in cloud 9 and our photographer had a blast taking pictures of us throughout the space. The jukeboxes and 8-tracks were constantly in use and we even partied after the wedding in the basement, playing pool and dancing in our wedding clothes, we even ended up cutting our cake there. Check-in was easy, you're literally on the same block as the Motown Museum so our out of town folks loved walking down the street to spend time there. Even the kitchen had the basics, some oil, seasonings, coffee pods for use in the morning...if I had more time to write more, I would go on and on about every detail. I will also mention that the gated parking was great and the lot out back was available for everyone else when needed. We will have to come up with a different life event to celebrate and use this house to host ourselves and our guests.
