• Wonderful Stay in a historical home

  5/5

  We loved our stay in this house. The house was so historical. The neighbors were very friendly as was the host. We come to Michigan once a year and if house is available we would definitely stay here.

• Funky Flat in Fashionable Ferndale

  3/5

  Lower flat of an old house with all that charm of creaky wood floors with each step of the tenants upstairs. Beds in each room are futons that are low to the floor. Foam mattress I slept on was comfortably firm. Home decor and furniture was unimpressive and uncomfortable. Not much different in the Kitchen, yard sale finds fill the draws that are a struggle to open and close. Coffee pot provided, but no coffee or filters-so go to the store and get these items if you need your Joe in the morning. All in all, a funky but clean place that is centrally located in the Metro Detroit area, but after the taxes and fees-not really a bargain.

  I was also put off by the rules of the house. Quiet time after 9pm( thin floors) is hard to do with a crying baby in the middle of the night.

• Clean but in bad repair

  1/5

  The photos online looked fine, but in person was much different. It was hard to find the key when I got there. There weren’t a lot of lights and the lock box was attached to the cast iron railing of the porch. I called the property contact who was very friendly and helpful. He turned the heat on from his phone for me. However, The furniture seemed like it was all second hand or from a thrift store. The front room and dining room were tolerable. The kitchen did not have a real coffee maker(it had a French press). There were communal condiments in the fridge which had been previously used. This really grossed me out. The bathroom had mold around the ceiling and around the tub. The bathtub mold was covered by these flexible rubber things(kind of like door sweeps). Also, the beds were terrible. Neither one had a box spring. They both were thin and hard. They must’ve had a plastic sheet around them because they were noisy. The comforter and shams were old brocade fabric that was shredded in places. The pillows were so thin that I had to take all of them to support my head. There was a green extension cord next to the bed to plug things into. The bedroom also had an exterior door with a window. The window had a metal grate over it, which made me feel nervous. The flood light outside was motion sensitive and kept going on and off repeatedly all night. The curtains were sheer and did not block out light or provide privacy. I did not feel safe in this apartment. I could not sleep and booked a hotel for the rest of the trip. I will be submitting pictures and filing an insurance claim. I could not stay in this place.

• Nice area

  5/5

  Cozy little 2 bedroom. It was clean. The management for the property was very helpful and answered in a timely fashion for any concerns. Was disappointed about no TVs in the bedroom. But overall it was good stay .
