Dom jest dosyć obszerny z parkingiem na podwórzu. Kuchnia wyposażona, ale przydało by się uzupełnić ją o czajnik. Dom ma duży potencjał, ale trzeba poświęcić mu trochę czasu i inwestycji. Łóżka w miarę wygodne. Prośba o 1 godzinne wcześniejsze zameldowanie nie została zaakceptowana z informacją, że dopiero od godziny 16:00. Mimo tego, że byliśmy na miejscu o 16:00, musieliśmy czekać jeszcze ok. 50 minut na udostępnienie kodu do drzwi wejściowych.

Lots of character and a strong location near downtown. Good spot for a multi-month stay. Ken is one of the best hosts we've worked with.

Horrible did not stay Positive: I cannot recommend this property based on my experience. My family drove 17 hours to Detroit with an infant and a child who has asthma, expecting the accommodations to match the listing. One of the main reasons we booked this home was because it advertised air conditioning. When we arrived, we found that the property did not have central air as advertised. Instead, it relied on one window air conditioning units, and the home was extremely hot during 97-degree weather. Because of the heat and our family’s needs, we did not feel the property was suitable for us, so we did not check in. I contacted the host through the Airbnb platform immediately to report the issue but did not receive a timely response while trying to resolve the situation. My review is based on the discrepancy between the listing and what we encountered upon arrival. I encourage future guests to confirm that the cooling system meets their expectations before booking, especially if central air is important to them. Negative: No air

The location was very nice with good access to highways. Seems the house has been recently renovated, and finishing up further. The owner was kind and very responsive.
