Quiet, comfortable lodgings on the edge of town

This was a great location for us, very walkable and bikeable to both the city and parks and trails. The accomodations themselves had everything we needed for a few days' stay. Cozy living room area and beautiful walk in shower were the highlights. Enough space for a rainy movie night or a light meal, but this place is best served for enjoying the surroundings more than staying in.

Clean, comfortable, convenient, and cozy!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this rental while visiting Ann Arbor. Kathy couldn't be a more hospitable host and was very attentive. The rental was spotless and well stocked. It was conveniently located. We had no problem finding street parking close by. One of my favorite rentals! Thank you!

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.

Cozy Stay

Kathy’s place was perfect. It had everything we needed for our two nights there as we explored Ann Arbor. The check in process was very easy, and the place is clean and cozy. If we are ever in Ann Arbor again, we will definitely stay here again.

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.

This garden-level unit is absolutely perfect. It has a private entrance and every amenity you could want, a full kitchen, a luxurious bathroom, a comfortable bed, a cozy sitting area with a television and fireplace, plus a full washer and dryer.Kathy truly thought of everything. The kitchen is stocked with a full-size refrigerator and plenty of extras you don’t typically find in other rentals. The welcome basket with bottled water and snacks was such a thoughtful touch and came in handy during our stay.The bathroom is gorgeous, featuring a built-in rain shower as well as a regular shower, it felt like a spa! She also provides all kinds of toiletries in case you forget something. Everything was spotless, beautifully decorated, and perfectly organized. The temperature settings were just right, and the bed was so comfortable that we woke up well-rested each morning.The location is also excellent, right off Main Street, so everything in downtown Ann Arbor is either walkable or just a short drive away. Kathy was very responsive through the app, and the private entrance made the unit feel peaceful and secluded.I highly recommend this stay and will definitely book again the next time I’m in Ann Arbor!

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!

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!
