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!

GREAT LOCATION!

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.

Great place, central location but noisy

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 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.

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.

Very beautiful stay!

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.
