Great home in an excellent neighborhood
This is such a fun home for a family. Room for all and the loft beds offer a fun sense of adventure. The home is stocked with all the things you will need, including cozy blankets for snuggling on the couch and extra supplies for what you might have forgotten in the bathroom. Well appointed home and a gracious host.

From the moment we arrived it was clear that the host, Ryan, had gone above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect! This apartment is filled with top notch amenities and many extras which made for a wonderful stay. We had everything we needed to cook meals. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom well-stocked. Communication with Ryan was easy. It was very evident that he truly cared about the our experience. We’ve stayed in many VRBOs over the years and this one definitely stands out!

Fabulous place, perfect location
This is an absolutely perfect place to enjoy everything Ann Arbor has to offer. Steps away from the best restaurants, cocktail lounges and a short walk to entertainment venues (The Ark, Michigan and State theaters, Hill Auditorium.) The living area is light and comfortable. Great shower (beautiful tile work), comfortable beds, functional kitchen, fast wifi, soundproof windows overlooking a vibrant Main Street. Ryan is pleasant and responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. You could not ask for a better spot for a downtown vacation.

Perfection in Ann Arbor
This is one of those reviews you’re scared to write because you don’t want it to get so popular that you can never book it again!! This rental exceeds every expectation, every picture, every description. The entire flat was better than the pictures. The large windows facing over Ann Arbor’s Main Street was as perfect as you can get on the snowy nights we were there. All of the great restaurants are right underneath you and it made our stay that much better. We felt like locals right in the heart of this great city and Ryan was an incredible host. We could not have had a better stay. We will absolutely be back. Book this one with absolute confidence!!

Beautiful Condo in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor!!
If you’re looking for a truly outstanding space in Ann Arbor, you’ve found it! This rental was a huge highlight of a recent visit. It is completely updated/renovated and does the historic nature of the building justice. The high beautiful windows look out onto quaint shops, multiple restaurants, coffee shops, etc. So much to walk around and see. The location is perfect. If you have a student on the UMich campus, it is very convenient. Close enough to visit easily, yet gives enough to do when not with your student. The condo itself is fabulous - very clean and comfortable with lots of great amenities. Fully stocked kitchen, beautifully decorated living room, spa-like bathroom, very comfortable beds. The host provides so many extras to make the stay nicer: coffee in the kitchen, soaps, lotions, hair dryer, etc. in the bathroom. The attention to detail is remarkable. Ryan, the host, makes everything seamless. Some highlights are: superb communication, very clear instructions for check-in, provided a well-thought-out brochure with instructions, tips for things to do in Ann Arbor, made himself available for questions, and even provided a pass for parking access in the nearby garage. Ann Arbor parking can be a challenge, so having this option made it so convenient. As far as hosts go, he was incredibly hospitable. This is one of the best experiences I have had using a vacation rental. I highly-highly recommend it. In the future, I will definitely request to stay here again.

Perfect location and comfortable stay
We stayed while a family member had a procedure at the U of M hospital. The apartment is in a perfect location to visit many shops and restaurants and a short distance from the hospital. The parking garage was easy to get to. Ryan was very helpful and always quickly responded to any questions we had. The apartment is beautiful and has anything you might need to feel comfortable. We absolutely loved this space and will definitely stay here again!

Almost too good to share!!
We loved our stay at “Wanderlust Manor”! Our family of 4 came to Ann Arbor for our son’s freshman year move-in. Ryan was a fantastic host. He was incredibly responsive, sent details and instructions, and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. The place was perfect! We had space for everyone, loved the decor and personal touches, the huge windows overlooking the street, the spacious bathroom, big tv, etc. They provided all the things you need that you don’t always find in a Vrbo - dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, even qtips and cotton balls. The towels were nice, thick and soft. They supplied multiple charging outlets and cords which were a bonus because I definitely forgot mine. Ryan gave us a parking pass for a secure underground lot that was around the corner. I felt safe leaving a fully loaded/packed suv filled with all our belongings in that lot which was a huge concern for me. We hope to be able to stay here every time we come to town. I wish I could buy this place myself!! It’s perfect. Thank you Ryan for sharing your home!

This is the example why not to get a hotel.
1) this was cheaper than a hotel. My adult daughter and I would have gotten 2 hotel rooms for four nights and gone broke before we even got there. 2) it felt like our place. The living room was inviting, and thoughtfully designed. My daughter did work at the desk, we all lounged on the couches to read by the massive windows, chargers were everywhere. 3) Ryan was great. Always answered within a short time, smart guy so knew what you were really asking, cared for his place, the guests, and Ann Arbor! 4) The location is tough to beat. The summer street party, a zillion restaurants including a 24/7 diner, shopping...it's a great meeting space because of the high ceilings and light from the front windows. 5) clean...bathroom, bedrooms are immaculate, no dusty corners, all modern fixtures in bath/kitchen. Everything is well decorated, which oozes charm, and caring. 6) lastly the parking pass! What a bonus! I really did feel like I owned the place just breezing in and out of parking! Great add, and is evidence of the thoughtfulness of the hosts. The only problem with it is trying to book it before someone else does for my next stay.

Perfection!
What a lovely place! I stayed here with my two adult daughters for a few nights and we had the best time. The condo is beautifully decorated and offers everything you need to have a comfortable stay - coffee, tea, spices, etc. Plenty of phone charging cords. Great lighting. I was especially delighted by the galaxy projectors that were running in both bedrooms when we arrived, making the rooms look fun and inviting with stars everywhere! As far as location, it’s perfect! Close to The Ark, bookstores, coffee shops, and ice cream shops. Overnight parking is nearby — an easy a 3-5 minute walk away. It’s also fun to people watch from the huge windows, as they face Main Street. We will definitely stay here again and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful lodging experience in Ann Arbor.

Ryan and the Wanderlust provided an excellent accommodation for our visit in Ann Arbor. Ryan was there to meet us when we arrived and checked in on us just enough during our stay. The condo is beautiful and proved very comfortable for the four of us. The location was very busy with nightlife, but the condo itself was quite quiet. Everything was stocked and ready for us when we arrived. We would highly recommend the Wanderlust to anyone looking for a great time in Ann Arbor.
