Perfect for us.
My sister and I came from out of state to visit family. We found this charming little house suited us quite well. The neighborhood was quiet and conveniently near shopping areas. We were greatly impressed with how spotless the house was and the appliances were up to date. Everything necessary for our comfort was provided without any unnecessary clutter.

Cute little cottage
I needed a place to stay near Royal Oak for a work trip. This was perfect. The kitchen was really nice and it was nice to have a washer and dryer to use.
