Staff communication was quick and professional. WELL stocked- they had everything - plates, silverware, glasses, coffee, sugar, laundry detergent, shampoo- you name it. The beds were comfortable and the rest of the house was well appointed, including board games galore. Top notch experience- highly recommend!

A very busy intersection

This house was clean, there was a smooth check in process and the beds were comfortable. Though we found all the bedrooms to be so minuscule that you could barely fit in a suitcase leaving very little room to walk around the bed or close the door. There are no closets in this house only a few hooks and hangers. So if you have more than a backpack full of clothing this is not for you. Also, there was little evidence in the listing to suggest that this house is at a busy noisy intersection. So noisy that the hosts provided earplugs on each night table. The fire pit, which looks private in the listing photos is sitting in the middle of the driveway surrounded by zero fences or hedges so you are basically sitting right on a heavily trafficked street. And One ply toilet paper. So thin you could see right through It. Luckily for us it was a two night stay with limited time soent at the house

GO BLUE!

Location was within walking distance to downtown Ann Arbor which was great! The Big House took over a half hour walking. L/R seated four comfortably. The provided coffee was great. The yard needed to be raked of fallen limbs.Linens and towels were nice. TV was great with NETFLIX. Steps going upstairs are very narrow and awkward. We would stay there again.

Very Attentive Staff

I really appreciate how the staff managing our property went out of their way to make my family's stay a comfortable one. For instance, the property has a printer but the ink had dried up. Within 24 hours of notifying the staff of this situation, new ink was dropped off at the property. Another example was when my family left, several of our items were left behind. The staff made it really easy for my mother to pick up the items.

Go Blue House

Awesome location. Clean and comfortable. Great coffee options every morning. The host was excellent in responding to emails about questions we had for dining options within walking distance. Worked well for a guys golf trip to Ann Arbor. I would probably use the same location in the future if we repeat the trip.

Comfy and Cozy

The house and beds were very comfortable and cozy. Best supplied home we have ever stayed at. Coffee station was tremendous - everything we needed for coffee/tea. Perfect location to walk to restaurants/bars downtown. Outside needs a little TLC.
