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.

You guessed it... walk! Everything is right outside your door. All the comforts of home can be found in this second floor duplex apartment (we also have a 3 BR guesthouse below you on the first floor). Full kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, a full bathroom, garage parking on premises and a beautiful back yard with BBQ grill. Park your car and stay awhile!

Artist's Loft is amazing!
This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed at! It was clean and nicely decorated, without being overdone. The space and amenities were obviously well thought out. We had everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing stay. The location is great for walking to A2's many interesting restaurants and museums. And the host, Nina, was friendly and helpful, without being intrusive. Overall, a solid 10 out of 10!

College reunion weekend
Nina was excellent with her communication and the check in process was excellent. The property was in an excellent location to downtown and the university. It is also near many night time venues and you could hear both bars as well as garbage collection throughout the wee hours. Nina left earplugs in the bedrooms. Very helpful having parking but the garage door had some issues which she quickly addressed.. The rooms were clean but small. Living furniture not the most comfortable for a group but OK. Overall a nice place to be if you are out and about most of the day.

Well Appointed Charming Artist’s Loft
Loved this 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment with a fully appointed kitchen and spacious living room. Nina and Kim have thought of everything! It is a perfect location, easy walking to campus, all of the great restaurants near State/Division area & to Kerrytown. The beds are comfy and bathroom has everything you need. One night we stayed In and made dinner using the grill out back, watched football & enjoyed the living area. A bonus is Nina’s beautiful artwork everywhere. Will definitely be back!

Great location and Responsive Host
My friends and I, UM alumni, enjoyed a weekend back in Ann Arbor. Great location and the owner was responsive. We have two areas of criticism. Because the building is on the older side, some amenities weren't as modern as we expected. The shower had separate hot and cold faucets and it was hard to get in and out because of the layout of the doors. Also, the TV only had an HD antenna, although it was a smart TV. It took an engineer a couple hours to get reception. Even then, we had to put the antenna in a specific spot to keep the picture. Finally, we heard sirens late each night. I'm not sure if this is the norm in this neighborhood or if we got unlucky. Overall, I recommend this property. The critiques are minor vs. the positives.

Great location for Ann Arbor visit
Place was exactly as advertised in the middle of everything. Within walking distance to restaurants and to Central Campus. You won’t need a car and although it’s a challenge getting into the garage, you will thankful for it with the limited free parking near by. Nina was extremely helpful. We look forward to going back soon

About the host

Hosted by Nina Howard

Host profile image
I stay busy running the Guest Houses in Ann Arbor staying in all 4 Guesthouses every other month or so, or I am in my art studio painting abstract art or gardening in the summer in the Smokies. I call North Carolina mountains my home but travel back and forth to Ann Arbor, enjoying my time in one of the 4 Ann Arbor Guest Houses. What a life!

Why they chose this property

I lived in this property back in the 90's on the main floor. In the Spring of 2012 I rented my old apartment again downstairs and the upstairs came available 5 years later. I named it the Artist's Loft as I was looking for a place to hang many of my art pieces. I love this location and I love staying here in the central part of downtown and remembering the 'good 'ol days' when I would dart in and out of my apartment enjoying the fun filled life of living right in the middle of town.

What makes this property unique

Everything is within a 5 block walk, U of M, Main Street, Kerrytown! Okay, walking to the Stadium takes a few more blocks to get there. Having a parking space in town is a big plus if you think you need a car. Teeming life on the streets on the other side of your front door. This apartment is sunny with windows on all 4 sides of the apartment. It is cozy yet roomy enough (around 1000 SF) for up to 6 guests.
