Great place in the heart of Ann Arbor
We really enjoyed our stay - the place is great, with a comfy master bed and a nice, well-stocked kitchen. There's a quaint little back yard you can hang out in and once you're out the door, you're in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, more or less equidistant to Main Street and State Street. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location and nice outdoor sitting space
We enjoyed how close we were to restaurants and activities. Easy to run/walk to the river from the house. We especially enjoyed sitting out in the backyard to relax during the day. Beds were comfortable, and towels were plentiful, fresh, and clean. Kitchen was spacious enough to use comfortably. The only downside - which I think is just by virtue of this being a historic home - is that it was a little musty and we needed to take allergy meds! I imagine that will be the same everywhere downtown since the homes were build 120+ years ago. We were very happy with our stay!

Everything and need and more!
I do a lot of travelling via VRBO. This unit is very well furnished and stocked. It is neither overboard, nor missing anything you probably need. Coffee, tea, condiments, and spices are always appreciated when traveling with a family. Nina always answered questions promptly (during booking and our stay) and was always unobtrusive. The beds were comfortable. I stayed with my adult son and his children ages 1 & 4. We would definitely book this home again.

Thanksgiving 2022
Pretty, cozy, convenient home. Many thoughtful touches - coat rack, place for dirty shoes, extra key, lavender bath products, nice bath towels, lots of hot water, lots of knives (I cooked Thanksgiving dinner and one night our daughter brought a friend for dinner), comfortable beds and couches, nice lighting. My husband caught a bad cold so we did not go out as much as we planned. We enjoyed staying in because the house was so sunny and relaxing. Our daughter’s house is within walking distance, we only drove to take her to/from work at UM hospital. We walked everywhere else for shopping, restaurants, Argus Farm Stop, Roos Roast coffee, Literati Bookstore, and Target for cough medicine. We would love to stay again.

This property is in a great location with all Ann Arbor amenities within walking distance. The unit was well stocked with all necessities. The only minor complaint would be that the carpets seemed in need of refreshing. Overall, great property in an ideal location.

Weekend stay
The house was in a great location. It was within a couple of blocks of many of the things we wanted to see... farmer's market, Zingerman's, grafitti alley and several recommended restaurants. It was a very cold weekend but the house was cozy. There were two adults and a baby in our group and we had plenty of space.

The location is perfect for anyone who wants all of downtown Ann Arbor at their finger tips. The porch is amazing! Great for people watching. The house is adequately stocked… and when we didn’t have an ironing board… one text and one arrived. The place is cute and quaint and suits needs for those who are seeking a downtown experience.

Amazing manager!
COVID-19 -- ammiright? We had a reservation with Nina for a different property in late April to move our daughter home from school. Then the world melted, and I had to scramble. Nina generously canceled our other reservation and refunded the money (some VRBO owners wouldn't do this). Then she switched me to this place, where we've stayed before. I will try to always stay at Nina's places in the future! (I've reviewed the property before, so I won't go into detail here about that. But this time I shared the space with my daughter, who was taking classes via her computer, and we all had plenty of space to spread out!)

PERFECT location
We were staying here to visit the University of Michigan and could not have been in a better location. We could easily walk to our tour and info session, and enjoy leaving our car parked to head out to dinner each night. Everything we wanted to see was at the front door. There were 5 beds and a pull-out sofa so it could easily accommodate a family. The property owner responded very quickly to any concerns we had. Overall it was a great stay. Easy in and easy out.

Great stay in Ann Arbor
We chose this rental in part because of desire to be in central university district, and we were not disappointed. Great location to be able to walk to all the places we wanted to visit. Good shopping and restaurants, as well as art galleries and entertainment. On top of this the property was one of the best we have found for its layout and its set up. Extremely clean, good bedding and towels, well-stocked kitchen. Nina was also very responsive to our questions, answering very quickly and positively. I would definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic location and cozy environment
This adorable duplex is tucked away in downtown Ann Arbor and you can reach anywhere on campus or downtown by a short walk. The kitchen is stocked with pans, silverware, etc and there are plentiful beds. It was the perfect spot for our girls weekend. We also forgot a charger and the property manager contacted us soon after we checked out to let us know, which I found to be very thoughtful. HIGHLY recommend this place for a weekend stay!

Great Location
Apartment is in a really outstanding part of Ann Arbor, couldn't be better. It's an old house, so expected issues: fuse blowing because of running microwave and AC at the same time. Some minor housekeeping issues (small ants on the property, a clogged drain, dusting could definitely be better). Also would have liked to know that AC is only in one of the bedrooms (though one door can be opened and got decent air flow from the unit in the living room). It was an issue in one of the bedrooms because it was a hot week and we had little ones with us. In general, though, a great place based entirely on the location.

Very comfortable for 5 people, close to almost everything!
We stayed for 4 nights in this Ann Arbor guest house. Lots of room to stretch out; great table for eating together and playing cards. Clean; comfortable beds and pillows; great shower and lots of towels, and places for hanging them! Well stocked kitchen appliances and utensils. Parking more than 1 car was an issue (we had 2). Street work was noisy, but otherwise quiet in the neighborhood. Guesthouse within walking distance of EVERYTHING except a regular sized grocery store; had to use the car for that, but otherwise did not use the car!! We could even walk to the central campus of U of M and the Botanical Gardens. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Ann Arbor.

Camp
My 13 year old son wanted to go to ID Tech for summer camp, but didn't want to do overnight. So, I rented this lovely little house for my two kids and myself. It was more then perfect. Other than having one bathroom we could have had 2-3 more people...............plenty of beds. Nina was very helpful and kind................and, we didn't even have any problems. I'm hoping that next year my son will want to do overnight camp at ID Tech, but if not I will definitely be renting this house again. Thank you again for everything Nina. The Perez Family

This is a great location for walking to campus or Main Street venues.
My brothers and I used this as a home base for walking to old college haunts and exploring what was new since our time at U of M as students. Plenty of room for the 4 of us with comfortable living room and inviting kitchen. Nina responded quickly to inquiries. I would stay here again in future trips. The original art throughout the apartment was an unexpected treat.
