We loved the neighborhood feel and short walk to the restaurants and parks. The rental space was immaculate and super comfortable. There is an amazing food co-op that is a five minute walk and has everything you need and more, a must stop destination!

We have been staying in Airbnb's for several years and this is the first time I have written a review. The unit is a standout with a well equipped and labeled kitchen. The bedside tables with incorporated power outlets are a luxury I have never experienced. It was helpful to have kitchen supplies: detergent, paper towels etc. that lasted for the duration of our 3-week stay. It is easy to tell Abril and has put time, thought and money into making an enjoyable stay. We are so happy to have found the perfect spot for our trips to MI.

This lil gem on Maple is on the best street in Depot town (right by Rosie the Riveters old house!) and perfect studio for enjoying Depot Town part of Ypsilanti. The apartment is fully updated, the bathroom was huge and it was perfect for me ! Will definitely book again! Thanks!

Great location, very clean, friendly hosts. Felt comfortable and right at home. Abril was helpful with adjusting my stay length as well. Most importantly, the bed was comfortable, slept like a baby! Everything I expected after reading previous reviews before booking. Very pleased, would definitely rent again!

What a gem! This property was easy to access, quiet, tastefully decorated and well thought out. Street parking was abundant and the little deck off the kitchen was the perfect place for a quiet evening in. We would absolutely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay! One of the best Airbnb’s we have stayed at in a while. From the beginning Abril had great communication, we got upgraded to the larger unit, upon arrival had a thank you note and complimentary bottle of wine, and the place itself was so cute and charming. Also, they had everything we needed including a steamer and iron for our clothing (we were attending a wedding, so those were much needed). Would definitely recommend and would stay again!
