In the heart of Grand Rapids sits the historic, quaint Alten City Cottage. Renovated, rich w/amenities, & centrally located blocks from several Iconic shopping & eating corridors: Eastown, Fulton Heights, & 1.5 miles to Downtown. I love the open floor plan, clean design, tall ceilings, cozy bedroom, & front yard.

All the comforts of home w/a fully stocked kitchen & hotel-like amenities. Mathias Alten, the world-known GR painter, built the "honeymoon cottage" for his daughters. Pets allowed.

The monthly rate is $2300 per month.
Full refund up to 30 days before check-in. After that, the first 30 days of the stay are non-refundable.

Stays are usually 28 days to two or three months, but there may be availability for shorter-term stays. Check the calendar for availability.

Safe, affluent, walkable, centrally located neighborhood. You will often see neighbors frequently walking their dogs. One of the more walkable areas of the city.
