Beautiful studio apt in a renovated bldg. Don't let the external appearance fool you. Lovely spot.

Very cute and clean loft. The bed was super comfy. The host was very responsive and helpful. The check in process was a little confusing and it was a little hard to locate the building but host helped by sending pictures. Area around the building is a bit sketch but knowing you had to unlock the building to get in made you feel a bit safer. Aside from the weed smell when you walked in the building, the girl screaming and what sounded like marbles rolling along the floor at night, it was a pleasant stay.

The room was clean and very well stocked with toiletries and snacks. Nice old wood floors and high ceilings, Good TV and wifi. There is only a window unit to cool the room which it did in our 70 degree stay and there were 2 fans provided. Sign in thy apartment said smoking was permitted but we there was no smell in the room. The check in process was a little challenging in that you had to get the key from the front of the building and park in the back. The front of the building will give you pause on whether to enter as it looks sketchy. Construction going on nearby, lane closed. Parking is free behind a gate that needs a remote. The rear entry is over on the far left of the parking area. Owner is really sure you understand that you need to keep noise down, the other occupants not so much. Neighbors came in both nights around 330 in the morning and apparently like to rearrange furniture. Don't let the front of the property fool you. It is a nice place inside and the parking appears to be secure. We were close enough that we walked to Comerica for a ball game. We came back down the Riverwalk watching large ships and the people. There is a great playground across the street behind Salvation Army building. If it was me I would change the check-in area to the back next to the parking gate. Better first impression, less stairs and easier transition for check-in and checkout. I would stay again for sure

The loft is spacious and has an historical ambiance. We appreciated the gated, free parking. The entrance process into the building is not convenient. The area the building is located in, though only five minutes to downtown, is in a very rundown area. The tenants or guests located above us were noisy and argumentative with one another which was disturbing. Though we were able to climb the stairs up and down to the apartment, some renters might find it difficult to do so.
