About this property

DOWNTOWN ARTIST'S LOFT - Walk to U of M & Restaurants - you don't need a car!

  • In the very heart of Downtown Ann Arbor with a buzzing restaurant district and a 5 minute walk to U of M Diag, you will be only steps away from countless conveniences, shopping, and the best dining Ann Arbor has to offer. Attending a University of Michigan Football game? Walk there. Going out to a nice dinner or cocktails? Walk there. Visiting a student at U of M or a loved one at the U of M Hospital? You guessed it... walk! Everything is right outside your door. All the comforts of home can be found in this second floor duplex apartment (we also have a 3 BR guesthouse below you on the first floor). Full kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, a full bathroom, garage parking on premises and a beautiful back yard with BBQ grill. Park your car and stay awhile or take the Transit Bus from the airport! It will let you off a couple of blocks from here. You can walk 5 blocks in any direction and cover the downtown Ann Arbor area.

Unit was exactly as described. All the comforts of home were provided.Perfect place for a girls weekend in Ann Arbor. Centrally located downtown which made our weekend mostly walkable. A little hiccup with the garage code but the host responded immediately with a resolution. Would absolutely book this again when returning to Ann Arbor.

The best location

This apartment was cozy and really beautiful with all the original art on the walls. We appreciated the well appointed kitchen and the supply of tea and coffee ready for us. This apartment is walking distance from everything you could want, shops, restaurants even movie theaters.

Great location and stay!

Stay was fantastic! We loved the location and spaciousness of the apartment. Super easy to walk to UM, sporting facilities, restaurants and shops! We parked our large SUV in the garage and left it there for the duration. I highly recommend this property! We hope to stay here again on another visit. Nina was very good with communicating and was a great host.

Fantastic location and super well appointed. The apartment was super clean even though the house is older. Parking was a little less than ideal because we had a big car but listing offered great tips for negotiating the narrow garage. Great communication with the owner

Great location for Ann Arbor visit

Place was exactly as advertised in the middle of everything. Within walking distance to restaurants and to Central Campus. You won’t need a car and although it’s a challenge getting into the garage, you will thankful for it with the limited free parking near by. Nina was extremely helpful. We look forward to going back soon

Artist's Loft is amazing!

This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed at! It was clean and nicely decorated, without being overdone. The space and amenities were obviously well thought out. We had everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing stay. The location is great for walking to A2's many interesting restaurants and museums. And the host, Nina, was friendly and helpful, without being intrusive. Overall, a solid 10 out of 10!

Well Appointed Charming Artist’s Loft

Loved this 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment with a fully appointed kitchen and spacious living room. Nina and Kim have thought of everything! It is a perfect location, easy walking to campus, all of the great restaurants near State/Division area & to Kerrytown. The beds are comfy and bathroom has everything you need. One night we stayed In and made dinner using the grill out back, watched football & enjoyed the living area. A bonus is Nina’s beautiful artwork everywhere. Will definitely be back!

College reunion weekend

Nina was excellent with her communication and the check in process was excellent. The property was in an excellent location to downtown and the university. It is also near many night time venues and you could hear both bars as well as garbage collection throughout the wee hours. Nina left earplugs in the bedrooms. Very helpful having parking but the garage door had some issues which she quickly addressed.. The rooms were clean but small. Living furniture not the most comfortable for a group but OK. Overall a nice place to be if you are out and about most of the day.

Great location and Responsive Host

My friends and I, UM alumni, enjoyed a weekend back in Ann Arbor. Great location and the owner was responsive. We have two areas of criticism. Because the building is on the older side, some amenities weren't as modern as we expected. The shower had separate hot and cold faucets and it was hard to get in and out because of the layout of the doors. Also, the TV only had an HD antenna, although it was a smart TV. It took an engineer a couple hours to get reception. Even then, we had to put the antenna in a specific spot to keep the picture. Finally, we heard sirens late each night. I'm not sure if this is the norm in this neighborhood or if we got unlucky. Overall, I recommend this property. The critiques are minor vs. the positives.
