Cute little apartment with all we needed. Perfect walking location and close to all that beautiful Ann Arbor has to offer. Beds were comfortable and hosts responsive and communicated great and clear details. Tiny little bit musty smelling and could be winter weather walking in on carpet s but despite, would recommend and return.Smells a ti
This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed at! It was clean and nicely decorated, without being overdone. The space and amenities were obviously well thought out. We had everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing stay.
The location is great for walking to A2's many interesting restaurants and museums. And the host, Nina, was friendly and helpful, without being intrusive. Overall, a solid 10 out of 10!
This was a fantastic house in downtown Ann Arbor. Walkable to Main Street and anywhere on Michigan's campus. Nina was very helpful with local information and parking advice for additional vehicles.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
This property has an ideal location for those visiting the University. Close to campus as well as the cute downtown area with great restaurants. The unit is spacious, very clean and included basic amenities.
This property was delightful. Clean, attractive, and a perfect location for our family to explore Ann Arbor while on a college visit. If our son decides to attend college here, we will stay here again!
Stay was fantastic! We loved the location and spaciousness of the apartment. Super easy to walk to UM, sporting facilities, restaurants and shops! We parked our large SUV in the garage and left it there for the duration. I highly recommend this property! We hope to stay here again on another visit. Nina was very good with communicating and was a great host.
This apartment was cozy and really beautiful with all the original art on the walls. We appreciated the well appointed kitchen and the supply of tea and coffee ready for us. This apartment is walking distance from everything you could want, shops, restaurants even movie theaters.
Amazing location. Easy walk to everything, literally just outside your door. Tons of historical charm. Our first time to Ann Arbor and this place was a gem! Nina, the host is great. Wish we stayed a week. Will definitely be back.
Place was exactly as advertised in the middle of everything. Within walking distance to restaurants and to Central Campus. You won’t need a car and although it’s a challenge getting into the garage, you will thankful for it with the limited free parking near by. Nina was extremely helpful. We look forward to going back soon
This was a great property. It was in a great location (one block from our daughter’s apartment.) Clean with great water pressure in shower and plenty of hot water. Loved the two twin beds in the second bedroom so our kids did not have to share a bed.
Perfect place right downtown to enjoy our 48 hours with friends. This was the halfway point for both of us. We loved the close proximity to campus, food and shops. Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Nina Howard
I stay busy running the Guest Houses in Ann Arbor staying in all 4 Guesthouses every other month or so, or I am in my art studio painting abstract art or gardening in the summer in the Smokies. I call North Carolina mountains my home but travel back and forth to Ann Arbor, enjoying my time in one of the 4 Ann Arbor Guest Houses. What a life!
Why they chose this property
I lived in this property back in the 90's on the main floor. In the Spring of 2012 I rented my old apartment again downstairs and the upstairs came available 5 years later. I named it the Artist's Loft as I was looking for a place to hang many of my art pieces. I love this location and I love staying here in the central part of downtown and remembering the 'good 'ol days' when I would dart in and out of my apartment enjoying the fun filled life of living right in the middle of town.
What makes this property unique
Everything is within a 5 block walk, U of M, Main Street, Kerrytown! Okay, walking to the Stadium takes a few more blocks to get there. Having a parking space in town is a big plus if you think you need a car. Teeming life on the streets on the other side of your front door. This apartment is sunny with windows on all 4 sides of the apartment. It is cozy yet roomy enough (around 1000 SF) for up to 6 guests.
