CENTRAL DOWNTOWN GARDEN FLAT - Walk to U of M - You don't need a car

In the very heart of Downtown Ann Arbor, you will be only steps away from countless conveniences, shopping, and the best dining Ann Arbor has to offer, right outside your door. Attending a University of Michigan Football game? Walk there. Going out to a nice dinner or cocktails? Walk there. Visiting a student at U of M? You guessed it... walk! All the comforts of home can be found in this first floor duplex apartment we call a Guesthouse. Full kitchen, living room, three bedrooms, and a full bathroom. Guests love the large backyard garden with BBQ grill and seating area. Park your car and stay awhile or take the Transit Bus from the airport to a couple of blocks from here. You really don't need a car as this location is in the absolute center of downtown. Walk 5 blocks in any direction and you will have covered downtown Ann Arbor.

Incredible location right in the middle of Ann Arbor, a stones throw from campus. The place was clean, safe, and had all the standard amenities. The owner is very easy to communicate with, although we didn’t need to reach out much as the place was perfect.

This was the perfect location for our weekend stay in Michigan. The walkability helped a lot since we didn't have a car. The parking space that is included will make it super convenient for those that do have a car. The host was very accommodating and communicative, which I really appreciated.
