Pictures to come.
Immerse yourself in Detroit's vibrant culture with a stay in our chic and cozy 1-bedroom/1-bathroom apartment, nestled directly above Café Sous Terre, the city's highest rated cafe. Recently renovated with a keen eye for style, our space celebrates Detroit's artistic flair, featuring local artwork that tells a story in every corner.

Unwind in our inviting living area, boasting a smart TV with access to all major streaming platforms for your entertainment pleasure.

You are also within walking distance of the retail and restaurants along Canfield and Cass. We're here to share our top local tips and ensure your stay is seamless. Reach out anytime via Airbnb messaging or our dedicated 24/7 Guest Experience Team.

Kindly be aware that the cafe downstairs provides a musical ambiance for its patrons, hosting DJ nights until 12 AM. This may result in some noise during those times. If you are sensitive to noise or believe this may affect your stay, please let us know in advance. We will do our best to help you find a more suitable property.

Please note that we are making some updates on the property and some photos may not match.

Bordering the downtown-core area, Midtown Detroit is flush with shopping and food options from new players and old favorites.
The hype couldn’t be more real: Midtown Detroit is the place to be. An area of the city sandwiched between two Detroit neighborhoods with their own unique personalities – New Center and Brush Park – Midtown is the perfect connector. Home to the majority of Detroit’s cultural gems, Wayne State University and a revitalized retail and restaurant district, Midtown has quickly grown into a stop for tourists and locals alike to grab a five-star meal before a show or spend the night barhopping between old dives and new patios.
But Midtown hasn’t just become a cool neighborhood in recent years – the area has always been home to a number of Detroit’s best haunts, many of which set the groundwork for the neighborhood’s new businesses.

Occupancy:
Ideal for couples or solo adventurers, the unit comfortably accommodates 2 overnight guests, with the ability to host up to 6 for gatherings with prior approval and a small fee. Please make sure to let us know so we can set up the futon and air mattress prior to your stay. Please adhere to city regulations to avoid any over-occupancy issues.

Parking:
While we don't offer designated parking, you'll find convenient free spots along Forest Ave and behind the building on Prentis. Metered parking is available on Cass Avenue for your peace of mind.

Gatherings:
Detroit is a city of energy and excitement, and while we encourage you to soak it all in, our property maintains a strict "No Party" policy to respect the peace of our community.

Quiet Hours:
To ensure everyone's stay is enjoyable, we observe quiet hours from 11pm to 8am. We trust our guests to be considerate of others in the building during their stay.

Smoking:
We are committed to providing a smoke-free environment. A minimum fee of $250 will be charged for any smoking detected in the apartment.

Your safety is our priority. Audio/video recording devices are installed in common areas and building exteriors for security. Rest assured, your private space inside the unit is recording-free.

Please note that any house rules violation will incur an additional $150 penalty charge.

Please note that we use a third-party cleaning service for our accommodations. As a result, we do not provide mid-stay cleanings. Thank you for your understanding!

Location is good. Close to downtown. Property is clean. Was a little smaller then I originally thought, but was definitely big enough for what we needed. There is some noise from neighboring units, but not too bad.

- ideal location, centrally-located; very walkable - the apartment was very clean and was larger in size than I expected - quiet stay given Midtown is more densely populated - Host communicated ideal amount and was ver helpful - street parking, but was not exceptionally difficult to find (stay was on weeknights) - no complaints!

Excellent location minutes from everything I Detroit!

We could not have been happier with the property and the location! A wonderful little apartment den minutes from everything we wanted to see including the Motown Museum, Raven Blues club, Third Man Records, Cliff Bells, Belle Isle and on and on! Perfect spot for a couple looking for a great place to stay. The rental company was super responsive and always accommodating and helpful and checked in to make sure we had all we needed.

first impression

the stay worked well, but my first impression was not the best, there are a few simple ways to make the space more welcoming, I moved the coach to the side so more floor space, moved mirror into living room, one of the bed lights into the dining table to create better light, a big plant would also be amazing.. little things;)

It’s got it all!

Loved our stay here, my son, grandson and myself stayed here two nights, the set-up is wonderful, we didn’t feel crowded, the property is decorated nicely and SO clean, the cleanest vrbo I’ve ever stayed at. The linens and towels are so comfortable and excellent quality, and the bed is like sleeping on a cloud!!!! the best part of it, is the location!!!! I had so much fun waking around the area! Recommend Marcus market, the Bronx bar, and the motor city brewing company!!!!! Especially the Bronx Bar!!! So much fun! Parking is easy! Never had an issue. Even though midtown is alive and busy the side location gives you a sense of being hidden/away and all of the people in midtown were very friendly!
