Just right for a college visit
The house is in a great location--it's a bit funny to find the parking place, but the instructions are clear and everything was in order. It's friendly and bright and colorful, felt homey without being cluttered. Teens could get around the town independently and the proximity to campus gave us a great sense of the town. It's not fancy, but it's NICE, and lots of thought put in to the set up. It was just right for 2 moms and 2 teens on a midwest college tour!

Great place in the heart of Ann Arbor
We really enjoyed our stay - the place is great, with a comfy master bed and a nice, well-stocked kitchen. There's a quaint little back yard you can hang out in and once you're out the door, you're in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, more or less equidistant to Main Street and State Street. Would definitely stay here again!

Unbeatable location!
We had a great weekend away at this property. You truly can’t beat the location! Highly recommend for alumni coming back to visit or anyone that wants to explore Michigan’s campus and downtown Ann Arbor. Easily walkable to restaurants, coffee shops, Kerrytown, and whatever else you want to see in the downtown/campus area. The home was clean and well stocked. Host was very responsive via text message and the co-host was nice enough to help return a wallet that someone in our group had dropped outside. Thanks again!

Great location
This property is in a great location with all Ann Arbor amenities within walking distance. The unit was well stocked with all necessities. The only minor complaint would be that the carpets seemed in need of refreshing. Overall, great property in an ideal location.

Wonderful location!
We loved our stay! -Amazing location with many restaurants/campus nearby. -The 3-bedrooms are on the lower level of a charming home with its own kitchen/bath/off-street parking space. -If additional space is needed, know the upstairs floor/loft is also available to separately rent, with a shared porch/garden seating area. You can hear some footsteps above you though earplugs are kindly provided for you if that is a concern. -If renting in the summer, know there are two AC units, one in the queen bedroom and one in the family room that easily cooled off the other bedrooms if you keep the bedroom doors open. -Bring/Buy paper plates if you have a large group and want to avoid hand washing your dishes. -Needed Nina's help with a VRBO billing issue and she was super generous with her time and near instant communication. Will absolutely be staying here again!

Perfect Home for the Weekend.
Comfortably fit five and we were very impressed on the cleanliness and comfort of the home. The location was the best part, and literally walking distance from everything in Ann Arbor. I fell in love with the area and the house was the perfect getaway spot for the weekend. Nina did EXCELLENT in assuring that we had a great weekend. Highly recommended!

Perfect Location!
We really enjoyed our stay in Ann Arbor thanks in a large part to Nina's hospitality. The rental was clean and more spacious than I expected. Everything we needed was available and we were a short walking distance to the major points of interest in the town. My two young children (7 and 9) loved the town and the bedroom with two twin beds. I would definitely rent this place again if we were to return to Ann Arbor!

excellent accommodations and experience
We rented this house for a golf weekend and football game and were very happy with the experience. Location in downtown Ann Arbor is perfect. The interior is very clean with beds to accommodate 5-6 people. The kitchen was unusually well equipped for a VRBO rental. Great to have a parking space. Wifi. Communication with the owner was easy, timely and helpful. We will definitely seek to stay here again next Fall.

About the host

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 and mentioned to the landlord a few years later that it would make a great Ann Arbor Guest House. He offered it to me in the Spring of 2012 and I got busy pulling it together. It is a work in progress. I love staying here 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.
