**AVAILABLE for U-M FOOTBALL HOME GAMES - SEPT 5 and SEPT 19**
Have tickets to Michigan Football, an EMU game or event, or other plans in the Ann Arbor/Ypsi/Detroit area? Stay at our relaxing retreat away from the hubbub but close to everything. Entire second floor of a historic house (built in 1896) on a quiet street two blocks from EMU. One block from express bus to Ann Arbor (30 min. to U-M’s Central Campus). Two bedrooms with queen beds (new memory foam mattresses), sunny living room, dining room (seats 4), fully equipped kitchen with new appliances, office nook off the living room. Approx 1000 sq ft. Free off-street parking for 2 cars behind the house. Great restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Your hosts are two U-M professors who live in the apartment part-time during the academic year. ACCESS NOTES: For any folks with mobility challenges, please note that our unit is on the 2nd floor and requires climbing a flight of stairs to enter/exit. The back stairs (from parking area) are narrow and steep; the front stairs (from street) are wider and easier to climb. Also, the toilet in the bathroom is standard (rather than “comfort height”) and might be difficult for those who prefer a taller seat.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Hughes

Host profile image
Hi! We are professors at University of Michigan-Ann Arbor who split their time between two homes (Ypsilanti and E Lansing). We are experienced hosts — we hosted travelers in our guest suite in Brooklyn for fours years before moving to Michigan. Also, we travel frequently, so we know what we like to have in a VRBO. :-)

Why they chose this property

We love this neighborhood (Midtown) because it’s diverse, very close to EMU and the public bus (easy 30-minute ride to U of M’s Central Campus), and walkable (many restaurants, cafes, and other amenities nearby). Also, just a 15-minute walk to a lovely park, and if we walk 5 more minutes, we are in Depot Town!

What makes this property unique

Our house was built in 1896…It is FULL of sunlight because of the big windows and high ceilings. It has all those classic details, like generously sized rooms, moldings, and wood floors. And yet all the plumbing and electrical has been updated. It’s awesome!
