This was the perfect location for our weekend stay in Michigan. The walkability helped a lot since we didn't have a car. The parking space that is included will make it super convenient for those that do have a car. The host was very accommodating and communicative, which I really appreciated.

Perfect for our trip back to Ann Arbor for the game this past weekend. It was a cozy and clean apartment which easily accommodated our party of 7 adults. Can't beat the location either!

Incredible location right in the middle of Ann Arbor, a stones throw from campus. The place was clean, safe, and had all the standard amenities. The owner is very easy to communicate with, although we didn’t need to reach out much as the place was perfect.

Excellent stay with young kids

House was just the right size four our family of four. The location was excellent with young kids (1 & 3), within walking distance of the library, hands on museum, and coffee shops. We would definitely stay here again.

Just right for a college visit

The house is in a great location--it's a bit funny to find the parking place, but the instructions are clear and everything was in order. It's friendly and bright and colorful, felt homey without being cluttered. Teens could get around the town independently and the proximity to campus gave us a great sense of the town. It's not fancy, but it's NICE, and lots of thought put in to the set up. It was just right for 2 moms and 2 teens on a midwest college tour!

Wonderful location!

We loved our stay! -Amazing location with many restaurants/campus nearby. -The 3-bedrooms are on the lower level of a charming home with its own kitchen/bath/off-street parking space. -If additional space is needed, know the upstairs floor/loft is also available to separately rent, with a shared porch/garden seating area. You can hear some footsteps above you though earplugs are kindly provided for you if that is a concern. -If renting in the summer, know there are two AC units, one in the queen bedroom and one in the family room that easily cooled off the other bedrooms if you keep the bedroom doors open. -Bring/Buy paper plates if you have a large group and want to avoid hand washing your dishes. -Needed Nina's help with a VRBO billing issue and she was super generous with her time and near instant communication. Will absolutely be staying here again!

Unbeatable location!

We had a great weekend away at this property. You truly can’t beat the location! Highly recommend for alumni coming back to visit or anyone that wants to explore Michigan’s campus and downtown Ann Arbor. Easily walkable to restaurants, coffee shops, Kerrytown, and whatever else you want to see in the downtown/campus area. The home was clean and well stocked. Host was very responsive via text message and the co-host was nice enough to help return a wallet that someone in our group had dropped outside. Thanks again!

About the host

Hosted by Nina Howard

Host profile image
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 and mentioned to the landlord a few years later that it would make a great Ann Arbor Guest House. He offered it to me in the Spring of 2012 and I got busy pulling it together. It is a work in progress. I love staying here 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.
