Concert stay

Guesthouse was clean and perfect for what we needed. Great location to easily get to the stadium for a concert. No chores was much appreciated after a fun night out. Gabby was easy to get ahold of when we needed her. Thanks for a great stay!!

Cute and easy!

This was perfect for our quick stay. It was clean and nice. We appreciated not having to worry about the “chores”. The only think I would suggest is to give more detail about where this place is and that it is in the upper space of a garage. There was also a marathon Sunday am, if we didn’t have to leave as early as we did, we would have been unable to leave untilIt was over! Overall- great lil space. Thank you for offering it!

Great VRBO - we've stayed at quite a few over the years and this property exceeded expectations. Very clean, wonderful neighborhood walking distance to Banner park, really nice hosts....just an all round excellent experience!!Note to Gabby and Ashley - a pizza cutter and ice trays would make a nice kitchen addition

Simple, perfect little spot

We came for one night for a concert at The Wilma. The stay was perfect for the two of us, plus my pup. The neighborhood, location, accommodations were just what we needed. The only “issue” to note is that VRBO had our check out time for 11am and the directions from the host were 10am.

Almost Perfect

Comfortable, modern one bedroom over-garage apartment, nice bathroom and kitchen, quiet neighborhood. One of the ways you can access the arrival instructions to the rental on the phone app did not include all the necessary information, so I had to contact the host who was readily available and provided the info. So it should be easily solvable by adding it to all of the routes to the specific arrival instructions on the app.

This place is a balm to the traveler. The apartment is clean, well appointed, quiet and bright. Gabby has thought of everything for humans and dogs alike. It is situated in a walkable area with a park less than a block away and restaurants about 6 blocks away. I felt very comfortable the whole time I was there. I wish I had found this place before my daughter graduated from UM!

Off to College

This family adventure was the off to college days. The apartment was perfect for our needs. There was a nice size alley parking space and ample parking for our second vehicle on the street. The space itself was clean and well planned. The location was perfect for us...close to U of M(walkable), lovely park close by and quiet for evenings/nights. We were so thankful for the AC as temperatures were in the 90s during the day. We did not use the kitchen much, but it was very well stocked with the basics for anyone wanting to cook or bake. Thanks for the great place to stay.
