Jun 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place Although I was there for a family member in the Hospital, the location was close to the hospital, clean and orderly. The parking can be a little tight for my truck but I'm sure a car would be much easier. I will look to this for future stays to go enjoy all Detroit has to offer. Transportation to downtown is made very convenient with the Qline. Tim ##### Timothy M. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Avrix R.

Jul 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean, comfy house in safe location Great house- quiet, clean, in a respectful neighborhood ! close to a few little stores that are walkable but also a great location for driving around and seeing the sites in Detroit! There is only one small bathroom so might be hard to have 2 or more couples. I would stay again! ##### Marlisa S.
