Amazing host and beautiful stay. Whenever we reached out to them they were very responsive and we felt so at home to be honest. The house is big and beautiful with lots of character. Definitely looking forward to staying there again.

This AirBnB was great! The house was very clean, the amenities were wonderful, there was plenty of space, and the location was easy to get to. Brittany was very responsive throughout our stay as well.

The hosts are amazing, the best I’ve experienced. They are very responsive, welcoming, hospitable, everything that you would want out of a host. We had a long stay during the holiday, and they made the entire experience feel more at home for us. The house was beautiful, clean, and spacious as described. They were very flexible with our needs and attentive to whatever we need it. They were very communicative every step of the way. Without a doubt, I would recommend this place and return to stay. I can’t say enough great things about them. This is absolutely the place to stay if you’re visiting Detroit with a large family. I can say for sure that I will be returning. :)
