About this property

Small lower apartment. Walk to town, Pets ok . 12pm checkin. 2pm checkout.

- Ann Arbor Hills location. 5 minutes walk to Nichols Arboretum and the Anthroposophical society of America. 0.6miles (12 minutes walk) to vertex coffee roasters. 1.2 miles (24 minutes walk) to Michigan Theatre. 1.7 miles (33 minutes walk)to Zingermans. Easy access to the "Big House" only 1.9 miles. 1 bedroom. 1 living room and private bathroom. ENTRY: PLEASE NOTE-Guests have their own private entrance via SLIDING PATIO DOORS ON THE LOWER LEVEL OF A FAMILY HOME. Living room has a 3 seater sofa, small 2 person dining table, a two seater sofa which also turns into a bed. Private guest patio. 2. Roku TV available but no live TV unless you use the" rabbits ears" antenna provided which can be fussy. A door from the living room leads to the hallway off which you will find a door to the bathroom, a door to the queen bedroom and a stairway which leads up to the owners unit and has a closed door at the top of the stair. A door to the garage.(private, not accessible)BEDROOM: -Queen bed, small vanity with mirror. Closet. 3 bedroom windows look onto the patio. BATHROOM:-small full bathroom off the hallway with shower/ bath amenities and hairdryer. Small ground level window. KITCHENETTE: 2 burner stove top. (no oven)mini refrigerator. Microwave, drip coffee maker, kettle, tea coffee milk . PETS-We allow pets under 30lbs (there is an extra fee of $30.00 per stay , ) small patio with seating for 4. Guest parking for up to 2 cars. Off the hallway is a laundry room that is NOT part of the VRBO, but you may use the washing machine , dryer and fridge that is in this room but because it is a "laundry/storage room, I am unable to keep this room to the same standards as your apartment, thus it is not part of the VRBO. CLEANING. I clean the apt. (except when i am traveling and a cleaning company comes.)I also DO NOT expect you to clean before you leave, this is your vacation. My cleaning practices have always included attention to door knobs, light switches, handles and high touch areas. All bed linens are changed between guests including the mattress pad, coverlet, and washed on the hottest cycle, as are the towels. Shower curtain and liner , floor mat and bath slip mat are also changed between every guest. I always open all windows and sometimes leave them open letting guests close them. I do NOT pass on the cleaning or Tax fees to you. (as someone who often stays at VRBO properties I do not like it when I see a rate for $100.00 but turns out to be $190.00 with fees.) The service fee is the fee for VRBO who do an excellent job. and offer alternate accommodation if you are not satisfied or there is a last minute problem. I am often away but readily contactable for any needs. We welcome you to our home but do not greet you, the key is kept in a lock Box, and let you settle in as you please. If you prefer to be greeted please let me know ahead of time. PLEASE NOTE
-You can sometimes hear the owners upstairs walking around their home. Occasionally you may hear TV or music.Heating and AC CANNOT be controlled in the apartment. It is kept at 70 and in addition there is a heater in each room should they be needed. Some of the patio, not the apartment, can be seen from the owners property. See photos. The apt. and patio is for your private use, this is not shared space, the owners share the parking area. The apartment is how VRBO use to be 10 years ago, as in, a family lives upstairs and you can sometimes hear them, you may cross paths in the parking area, and there are signs of family all around, ect, its not a purpose bought house to just rent with no sign of anyone living in it. Lets not forget that the Vrbo platform was initally about sharing your home with others at resonable prices, not about renting empty investment homes for top dollar. If you prefer a pristine new sterile apartments there are many available properties in Ann Arbor. I AM REGISTERED WITH THE TOWN OF ANN ARBOR

Excellent accomodations. 10stars. Adorable apartment with tons of space and perfect location to UofM, less than a 15 minute walk, in a fabulous neighborhood. Great host who provided lot's of thoughtful and personal touches including a bottle of wine, cheese/crackers/nuts, breakfast items including coffee/milk/english muffins and beverages.

Great one bedroom that perfectly matched the description. Home was clean and had plenty of space for me and my middle school aged son. Amenities included TVs in living room and bedroom (that featured streaming apps), small heaters in the living room and bedroom, small kitchenette with coffee maker, mini fridge, air fryer, etc. The bedroom bed can fit two people and there's an additional bed and couch in the living room area. Check in and out were super smooth. We saw the hosts a couple of times in passing but wouldn't have otherwise known they were there. We asked about clean up and were told not to pick up, that we were on a vacation and should enjoy ourselves. The location is great. We didn't make it to the Arboretum but it's walkable and the driving time and distance to Michigan landmarks is accurate in the posting. I would recommend this apartment to anyone and would gladly stay again.
