About this property

Charming Patio Apartment – ideally located near Arboretum, Downtown, UM Hospital

Private, lower-level apartment in charming 1920's home in Geddes Heights. 3-minute-walk to Arboretum. Less than a mile from U-M Hospital and Central Campus. About 1.5 miles to downtown and to U-M Stadium. 2 bedrooms with brand-new private bathroom.

Guests have their own separate entrance from patio into spacious, primary bedroom with comfy queen bed; love seat; built-in corner cabinets for clothes; a reading chair; and peaceful view of a lush back yard.

This primary bedroom is attached to a lovely, light-filled, secondary room with similar views. This secondary room features a twin bed; small closet; built-in drawers and cabinets; a chair and lamp for reading.

Both rooms have their own entrance to a hallway from which a small, newly-built full bathroom is accessed (walk-in shower, single sink, hairdryer provided). Shared hallway also provides access to laundry (for stays over 4 days) and stairs leading to upper, owner-occupied floors.

House is sturdily built and quiet. Apartment rooms are well-curtained for privacy.

Free street parking.

Owners are in-and-out most days, but easily contacted. Apartment is accessed via a lockbox. If you wish to be greeted by owners, please make prior arrangements with us. Otherwise, you are welcome to settle in on your own and come and go as you please.

Please Note:

- Owners very occasionally use shared hallway to do laundry and access other rooms on first floor. When guests are not on the property, owners will occasionally use the patio.

- No pets live at the residence, and no pets are allowed.

- The first floor is delightfully cool in the summer. For colder months, we have portable space heaters available so you can individually control the temperature in each bedroom.

- We have wifi, but no TV. We have a mini-fridge, coffee maker and microwave, but no kitchen.

Oregon Ducks in Ann Arbor

If you are going to a game it is a great location! A fairly easy walk to a downtown area that has lots of food and beverages choices. It is probably .78 mile walk to this downtown area and another 1.25 mile walk from their to the game. Hosts are great people. The place is a tad rustic (Historic Home) and does not have a true kitchen, but a small fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. The only set back is the basement area with laundry room is a shared space, therefore, you could run into hosts while using bathroom or laundry. BUT, they are wonderful and very cognoscente of of guests. Very affordable rustic place in a beautiful area near part of campus.

Quiet, cozy place in beautiful neighborhood

This is a lovely lower level unit in a beautiful neighborhood. Quiet but a short and pretty walk to South campus, and right by the Arboretum. About a five minute drive to Trader Joes or Whole Foods. Very comfortable. Owners very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend.

Comfortable, no-frills guest apartment

The apartment served as a great place to stay off-campus but convenient to UM via a pleasant 15 min walk and very close to the lovely Botanical Gardens. The apartment is the ground floor/basement of a family home. It is comfortable, pleasant, no-frills, slightly worn, thoroughly clean, with friendly and communicative owners. The access lock can be a little tricky.

Great spot for easy walking access to A2 attractions/events.

We loved the newly renovated bathroom and ability to do laundry. The apartment had everything needed for a pleasant stay. We were happily surprised by the frige and coffee—the listing did not prominently indicate these were included. The owners were friendly and responsive.

Arborteum

We loved the setting--quiet, mature trees in the neighbourhood, trails, and little traffic. The outdoor patio was a favourite afternoon reading spot.

University of Michigan graduation

From the very beginning Nan was very attentive and quick to respond to questions and needs. The property is private, the grounds are beautiful. Unfortunately, it rained most of the weekend. There is a seating area on the patio that can be enjoyed.

Visiting son at UM/Ann Arbor

It was quite last minute that my sis and I decided to drive to Ann Arbor to visit my son at UM. Given the Holiday and football we were delighted and surprised to find this accommodation. The clean 2 bedroom apartment with a separate entrance in a quiet family home worked well for us. We had our privacy as well as a sense of comfort/security being in a family home. Nan and Ian were welcoming and very attentive. It is always so nice not to have to worry about any basics including coffee! Since we stayed almost 2 weeks we made use of the washer, microwave, and mini fridge. The neighborhood is ideal within walking distance to downtown, UM and the Arboretum. Overall we loved our stay!

A beautiful home and neighborhood

My brother and I booked this property because our cousin goes to UofM and lives very close by. The property was perfect for our needs and the owners were very kind, accommodating, and communication was very easy.

Central location and peaceful setting.

This homey and comfortable residence is set in an ideal location, central to all things University of Michigan and Ann Arbor. The guest entrance and patio is private and quiet and nestled in a park-like atmosphere. Nan was receptive and responsive in all aspects of communication and hospitality. I will definitely be staying here again on future visits!

About the host

Hosted by Nan Reed Twiss

Host profile image
We have lived in Ann Arbor since 1995 (transplants from San Francisco). We have three children in their upper teens and early 20s. Ian is an Episcopal priest and Nan is an Executive, Leadership, and Team coach. What else would you like to know?

Why they chose this property

Over twenty years ago, we spent almost a year looking for just the right home and just the right location for our family. When we saw this property for sale, we knew we had found the perfect place for our family for decades to come. A charming house, lovely neighborhood, great schools, a big yard, a stone's throw from the gorgeous Nichols Arboretum, walking distance to virtually everything!

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! This area is so beautiful, and we love being so close to the Arboretum (we go there a lot!) and love being so close to everything.

The house itself was designed by a prominent local architect – it is so well-built and beautifully designed – it has all the charm that we were looking for.
