We loved our stay! The place was super cute and cozy—perfect for our family of four. It was clean, comfortable, and in a quiet neighborhood, but still close to great restaurants if you want to get out and explore. We were in town for a Michigan game, and it was an easy short drive to Ann Arbor for all the fun. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Cozy little spot that easily can fit 4 guests. May have been a multi family home, but none of the other tenants were even noticeable. Would stay again when in the Ypsi area!

Our stay was perfect! You just need your clothes. The home is extremely clean. The beds and pillows are comfy. We slept great. There wasn’t any noise. The home is in a very safe area. The place has a cozy & relaxing feel. The walkable depot area is lovely. Aubree’s pizza and side of the track was great. I would skip Thompsons the food wasn’t good and it was pricy. Uber was convenient to take to a concert at Michigan Stadium which isn’t far.

We had an excellent experience all around at Abril's beautiful home. It was impeccably maintained, in walking distance to a vibrant downtown area with a fun restaurant/bar vibe. Communication with Abril was simple. She answered all of our questions promptly and completely. We have already decided that we'll be returning on our next trip out to UM.

One of the best places I ever stayed at. The place was only better than the pictures and its description. The host is very meticulous about the cleanliness and very proactive about everything and anything a guest will need during the stay. Highly recommend this place and if I need an Airbnb again in this location, I am not looking for another place.
