This is a great property. We stayed for four nights in June with our daughter and grandchildren. Our grandchildren enjoyed the entertainment area in the basement. It is a very comfortable house. It is a great location to enjoy the Detroit zoo, Henry Ford museum, and downtown area. It is convenient to the airport. We also did a day trip to Lake Huron. We would definitely stay at the property again. Thanks again Christine and Stu for welcoming us to your home.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
The home itself was very nice clean and inside was easy to use; however, we had issues with there being no railings for the deep tall steps going in and out either the front or back doors of the home. The Ac was great, the beds were very comfortable, the showersAre amazing. I would highly recommend for a younger family, but until railings are installed at both entrances I would recommend older persons be prepared. The host was very cordial and responsive and checked on us to ensure we were able to get in and that we were comfortable. It is a very safe and secure area in a delightful neighborhood.

Thank you for the kind note. We are so happy you enjoyed our home. So happy you could enjoy our cozy and soft bedding for a perfect night of sleep. Thank you for the note on railings on the front steps, we're looking at options with contractors to find a solution that would work well for our home. We'd love to have you all back once the adjustments are made :)
Lovely clean home with all of the items I needed for a two month stay. Had some family over for an overnight stay and there was plenty of room.

About the host

Hello all and welcome!
Thank you for visiting my profile, I love traveling but always look forward to coming back home to Michigan. I am excited to be part of this community and to be able to help people feel right at home.
I am so excited to welcome you to beautiful Detroit. The city has the backbone and determination of the American manufacturing industry and also the charm and character of many European cities. I love hosting people in Motor City and showing all the great things the area offers. Detroit has become my home, and I hope to share it with you.

Why they chose this property
We spent several years in the area and it is always a joy to be back at our Madison Heights home. This home allows us to be central to all the main hubs in the area with quick freeway access along with being right next to Royal Oak and Ferndale downtown. We love the local eateries and cafes being a quick drive and the walkable neighborhood.
This home is perfect for families visiting for business or pleasure. We would love for you to enjoy our home.
What makes this property unique
We love the cozy yet spacious feel of this home and the quiet residential neighborhood. This home has allowed us to have the best of both worlds, being next to the city while also being able to have a hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Enjoy the ranch layout to maximize living on the first floor which has all the necessities without using the stairs. Yet double the living space from our recent renovation to the basement which features the basement game and entertainment space.
