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!
Place was super cute. Heads up about the noise and ear plugs was appreciated!

Clean room, bathroom and kitchen with a vinyl copy of the Little Prince by Antoine St-Exupery. I immediately knew I had chosen the right place. Essy access to rhe University, estaurants and nightlife. Great communication from owners. Highoy suggest staying here.
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.
We loved the apartment so much we ended up just staying in for the night instead of what we had planned. We felt right at home! Just enough ammenities and I really appreciated having real coffee in the morning.
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.
We loved our stay at this cute little apartment! Very clean with everything we needed and the owner was a great communicator and very prompt with responses. We would definitely stay here again!
This property is located in the Heart of Ann Arbor and easily walkable to anywhere in Ann Arbor. The bed is super comfortable, not to soft, not to hard. The place is extremely clean and has a wonderful boho vibe. I hope to be able to stay here again!
We had a wonderful stay. Communication with the property manager was great. We enjoyed the location and the eclectic style of the apartment. The parking garage close was reasonable as well. It is $1.50/hour so $36 a day.
This loft was a great fit for an adult night out. We live in the area and stayed in the city overnight. The location is fantastic for walking and grabbing dinner. The loft is uniquely decorated and sleeps very comfortably. Recommended!
My friend & I stayed last night; it was a blast from the past, admiring the antique/vintage furniture & people-watching out the little breakfast nook over a cup of coffee. As appropriately titled, it is whimsical & colorful as much as it is cozy!

It was very close to the action which was very nice! My only complaint was that how to get and get the code was not clear and was emailed outside lf expedia, It was confusing at first but we figured it out

Cute place ♡ would definitely stay again!
Was perfect for my 1 night stay. Small but adorable ♡ close to anything you might need. Parking isn't fun but besides that everything was great.
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.
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.
Had a wonderful time here for a quick weekend getaway! Super clean, very comfy and cozy, and a large bathroom & kitchenette. It got a bit loud at night since it’s right near the diag/college life, but it was nothing a little white noise didn’t easily solve.
Only suggestion would be to possibly add a tv of some sort? That was the only thing we really felt was missing, but we would absolutely still stay here again!
