The home is residential area on a busier street, but close to the very best Ann Arbor has to offer. Great stores, wine bars, restaurants, boutiques and shopping are all a short distance away. Stroll the area and enjoy your home away from home!
Taxis are available anytime, but I prefer Uber which is a private driver service. You'll find instructions for getting a coupon for first ride in the information book. Rental scooters and bikes are available around the city with downloaded app. Also, the public bus stops down the street every 20 minutes. The Big House (Michigan Stadium) and Crisler Center are 500 feet away. Enjoy your stay!

This house was supper cute. It was extremely clean and in a great location that was within walking distance to all kinds of great restaurants and shops! Huge parking lot in the back! Would definitely stay at this location again!
We decided to rent this house because all the hotels were booked for the football weekend. We actually liked it better than all the other hotels that jacked up their rates over three times there normal amounts for the weekend. We were able to go to the game just 50 yards from the Big House. Loved it there and the rates were the regular price. Thank you for the great experience!
This was one of my best rentals ever. The house was very well appointed and the location was ideal for the many things that we did in the area. The communication and detail from the property manager made the planning seamless. This house is perfect for a group or family visit to Ann Arbor.
Perfect location, house and amenities was exactly how it was described on the listing. The host was great to work with. I would definitely recommend staying at this house.
You can’t get a better location for graduation than this house. And the house is appropriately decorated in blue and maize. It was exactly what we needed for entire family!
Great house! 2 minute walk from Big House. 2 minute drive to UM golf course. Comfortable beds. Tons of towels and wash cloth. Lots of off-street parking. Great communication from the owner.
The apartment was a nice walk to all Ann Arbor dining and stores.
Janice always responds promptly to questions and concerns.
An added bonus was ample clean, good quality towels!
My female family members and l recentlyI rented Janice’s home for a stay near the U of M campus. The home was clean and looked just as presented in the pics. The location could not have been better and Janice was an excellent host. We hope to come back again next summer! Thanks Janice!! We could not have felt more welcome!
This charming older home was the perfect place for my sisters and I to meet up for a girl's weekend. We enjoyed the interesting restaurants and shopping nearby, and the home was great for just hanging out and catching up -- clean and comfortable with modern kitchen and bath. Lovely large windows throughout the house, with good shades/ curtains for privacy from the street and neighbors when needed. Janice was a communicative host and check in and check out were straightforward and no fuss. We really enjoyed our stay!
My son and I stayed at this house for a couple days for a recruiting trip to Michigan. "Close to the Big House" is an understatement. It was literally three houses down from the Big House. You could easily walk there or two the baseball/softball fields. The house is very clean and is Maize and Blue throughout. There is a very small fridge but enough for a few day stay. All of the rooms are clean and the heat worked well for us. The communication from the owner was great...entry into the place was easy. I would absolutely stay here again if I went to Ann Arbor for a stay. Easy five star review...
