Clean and comfortable apartment in Ypsi

We were in town visiting family, but wanted our own space. This unit was very clean and had all the basic essentials for a comfortable stay. We did not cook, but the kitchen was stocked with cookware and utensils. Motion detection outside lights for returning after dark. Off-street parking provided, but also plenty of street parking as well. Responsive host with excellent communication. Please note there are long outside stairs to gain access to the unit, which was fine with us, but would not be easy for someone with mobility issues. Otherwise clean and safe and we enjoyed our stay!

Welcome home to Ypsilanti

My sister and I were born in Ypsilanti. We now live in the SF Bay Area but came home to Ypsi for a family gathering. My sister hasn't been to Ypsi in 50 years. We were charmed by this well-maintained 19th century home. The suite we stayed in had two comfortable bedrooms, a bathroom, sitting room and well-equipped kitchen. Having these lovely rooms to come home to made it much easier to explore Ann Arbor, Ypsi and Detroit. Thank you!

Great location

The property was well maintained and clean. The owner was welcoming and the check in/out process was easy. The neighborhood was quite and we walked to the local pub The Tap Room. I highly recommend you stop in for a drink. The property is about 10 minutes from the football stadium.

Glory was a great host. She responded promptly to all communications. The rental was clean, comfortable, and just as advertised. I felt very safe and comfortable for the four days we stayed. I’d go back in a heartbeat next time I’m in Ypsi! Great location close to downtown, and within walking distance to depot town (although driving is also super easy).

Lovely hosts, great location

We really enjoyed our stay here, and felt fortunate to have a chance to meet our hosts who were both lovely to chat with. The house is old and charming, and the apartment is comfortable and familiar in a cozy way. We appreciated that it was just a few short blocks to downtown Ypsilanti, and just a few more blocks from Depot Town, so it was easy to take a stroll, grab dinner/ice cream, and admire the historic architecture.

Quiet and Convenient

We have stayed here multiple times. Part of this is because there are two bedrooms so my snoring doesn't bother my wife. Having a kitchen is also a great perk. We are 74 years old, and can manage the stairs up to the second floor. We stay here when we visit my 98 year old mother. Hope we can continue to do so!

Comfortable and Cheerful

We really enjoyed our stay at this well maintained VRBO. It was located in a very walkable historic neighborhood near the heart of Ypsilanti. Many interesting restaurants, coffee shops, etc. were nearby. The apartment itself was cheerful, clean and comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you'd need to prepare a meal. The hosts were congenial and available as needed. We highly recommend.

Cozy Stay in Ypsi

I come to visit my family in the Ypsi-Ann Arbor area often, but this was my first time staying in Ypsilanti. I am so happy I found this place. The apartment was very cozy and had everything I needed. Michigan is frigid right now, so I appreciated the continuous heat. The bed was comfy, the location was great and the kitchen was perfect for cooking quick meals when I wasn’t with family. Glory was a great host and responded immediately to my messages. This was a great find!

Hello Travelers,

I am Glory. I love traveling around the world and having the chance to meet new people, and cultures. We have a lovely 1897 historic house just 2 blocks from downtown Ypsi. Our home has an independent apartment on the second floor, that we rent for short & long stays. The apartment is lovely and very cozy. It has been carefully curated with pieces we love and enjoy and we really hope you will enjoy them too.

Safe travels!

Why they chose this property

Great location!!! The History District in Ypsi is filled with beautiful architecture. Homes mostly from the 1800s with styles ranging from Victorian (like ours), Queen Anne, and Italianate therefore taking a stroll down the neighborhood is great fun. The house is also very centrally located. It's10 mins to downtown Ann Arbor, 15 min to EMU, 15 min to all shopping Target, Krogers, Aldi, Trader Joe's, Home Depot, and Lowes. Only 2 blocks to Downtown Ypsilanti, this is a 5 min walk where you can find coffee shops, restaurants, book stores, ice cream parlors, vintage stores, and Depot Town. So yes a little bit for everyone ;)

What makes this property unique

We offer a real home feeling at our property. * The charm is in the details *Curated carefully with elements we love and enjoy and we hope you will enjoy them too.
This is one of the few "True" Airbnb experiences out there you can find as originally intended where hosts are happy to open the doors of their homes to guests.
