Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
I stayed with my fiancé and his sister for 2 weekend nights, and we had a mostly positive experience. The unit was clean, but there was a musty smell to it that we noted as soon as we walked in. It is in a basement, so that’s the likely reason. The host graciously provided a dehumidifier and an air purifier to help with that issue. A major drawback for us was that the people above us were very loud and inconsiderate during our stay. It sounded like they were having a get together at one point, but we heard running/stomping back and forth across the floors at all hours of the day. My future sister in law informed me that they woke her up at 4am on Sunday morning stomping and laughing loudly from above. I don’t know if they’re full time residents on the property or if they were also guests, but we felt that needed to be mentioned just in case. A couple positives to note were that the beds were very comfortable and the shower water pressure/temp was fantastic the price for the stay was also very reasonable.

Welcome to The Chill Cellar!

Hi there, I’m Obia Uzorka, your host—and I’m truly glad you’re here. I created The Chill Cellar as a cozy, peaceful space where guests can feel completely at ease—whether you’re in town for business, a weekend getaway, or a longer stay. Hosting gives me the joy of meeting incredible people from near and far, and it’s important to me that you feel more like family than just a guest.

While you’re here, I want you to enjoy not just the space, but the neighborhood too. If you get the chance, check out Pietrzyk Pierogi just around the corner—it’s a local gem with amazing handmade pierogi and great vibes.

The Chill Cellar is your home while you’re in Detroit, and I’m always here if you need anything at all. Relax, enjoy, and welcome to the family.

Warmly,
Obia
