Such a cute house! Tasteful furniture, comfortable beds, everything we needed was very thoughtfully provided and labeled. The fenced yard is a great size for kids to run around, and perfect for dog owners. And the coolest thing (for me, anyway) is how QUIET it was at night — I’m used to city noise, but all the neighbors must’ve been away because there was minimal traffic and very few people nearby when I was here. The canals in the neighborhood are a nice, peaceful area to walk, it’s a quick drive to reach downtown, and there’s plenty to explore within a short drive.

The place does look like the photos for the most part, beautifully decorated. There is only one AC unit though and it's upstairs in the main bedroom.

Jennifer made our trip really special, with wonderful local recommendations (Slow's BBQ - not to be missed!) and answered all questions we had. The property is in a transitioning neighborhood with what appear to be lots of long term residents. The house is a charming old brick home with three bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. There's a Trader Joe's within a short drive, and it's easy to get around (though you do need a car there, I'd say anyway). It's a great family home with a big back yard and BBQ, and everything you need of a nice stay to explore wonderful Detroit. Would definitely go back.

House is super cute and comfortable. The house is very hot and difficult to cool as most of the windows do not have screens and some are inoperable. There is air conditioning in the main bedroom however. The neighbors are a bit loud in the late evenings so bring ear plugs.
