PRIVATE PARKING
Maybe the gem of this listing is the on-property parking. Listing comes with one private parking spot on property beneath a large shade tree.

The street has metered parking until 4pm then after 4pm it is parking by resident permit only and it is a ticket and tow zone.

Your private parking allows you to avoid the hassle while also avoiding the $40-$100 event parking rates of nearby lots.

Our goal is to make you private apartment a home away from home. During your stay if you need anything please reach out. We are usually located in the separate residential area of the mansion.

SAFETY & SECURITY
Detroit's reputation aside, Downtown, and in particular this neighborhood is very safe and walkable. As a Retired Federal Agent in this City, your safety is paramount. In addition to the strong and friendly presence in the neighborhood of the Detroit Police Department, we also have 24 hour security that patrols the streets making your walks to and from the stadiums and throughout Downtown and Midtown one of the safest in the country.

In addition, we have taken measures at the house to make you feel safe and secure, to include:

Advanced Camera and Security System
Deadbolt Exterior locks
Apartment Locks
First Aid Kit

CHECK-IN/UNLOADING
In respect for our neighbors, please do not Load/unload your car from the condo parking pad directly outside of the side entrance. This is private property of the condos and can block neighbors access to their garages. Kindly unload from the provided private parking space on the other side of the house. If you need help with luggage the host can assist with porter service from your car to the apartment. Do not hesitate to ask.

PROFESSIONAL CLEANING
Our clean service provides an Above-Standard through cleaning process after each check out, to ensure you have the healthiest, safest space during your stay.

PETS WELCOME
Unlike many nearby listings, we are very pet friendly. Bring your furry friend and don't even think twice about apologizing for barking. It's what they do when they miss you. We do ask that you clean up after them as best as possible. After walks, you are welcome to dispose of waste bags through the front gate and in the dumpster cans at the side of the front porch.

NO SMOKING INSIDE
Please refrain from smoking inside the home. You are welcome to smoke on the concrete pad directly outside the side entrance. Any evidence of smoking will result in a fee for odor removal and furniture cleaning.

NO PARTIES/EVENTS
Per VRBO policy we kindly ask you to be respectful to the space and the historic home and as we aim to make this your home away from home, please treat it as such.

Thank you so much for understanding.

Great location, great host

The location is great for events at Little Caesers Arena. It was very clean and on a quiet street, with off-street parking. The place is in the basement of the host's home. He was very considerate and helpful. It had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was very nice. We'd stay again.

Parking is located on the property, off street. Huge shower, comfortable bed and AC to keep you nice and cool. We won’t stay anywhere else in Detroit!!!

Excellent city adventure

Our friend group stayed to attend a concert at Comerica Park. This location is perfect for any event as it is completely walkable! Parking availability, time and expense are a none issue when staying with Donavan. He is an amazing host. Very responsive before arrival and during the stay. His historic home is a diamond in the rough and his restoration work is lovely. We appreciate his desire to maintain the property and the neighborhood. The suite is perfect for relaxing including the ability to cook a snack or meal. We look forward to staying again.

Great for Games!

This location was amazing for access to all sporting events in downtown Detroit. Everything was easily walkable and restaurants easy to find. The exact block still shows some character, but will be built up nicely over the next couple of years. Donavan was amazing with recommendations and a friendly word. He even mailed a lost stuffed animal for my son. That kindness was greatly appreciated! Our dog was very happy in this basement apartment as it was very quiet and cool. My five and eight year old boys loved sleeping on the futon together and watching a movie. While the entrance was separate, I was expecting it to be private.

Location, location, location...and incredible history

My wife, 2 children (tween & teen), our dog, and myself all stayed for 3 nights. If you want to be close to Comerica Park, Ford Field, the Fox Theater, Little Ceasars Arena, etc. then this is the place for you. Basically 2 blocks to any of those. You absolutely can not beat the location. The basement studio apartment is great. Way bigger than a hotel room, plus you get a full kitchen. There's also a laundry and gym room down there that you can use. He has the basement of a huge house divided out nicely so there's a door from the street that gets you into the basement and then a seperated apartment with a locking door as well. The house is a whole other story in itself. I don't want to spoil the surprise, but trust me when I say it's incredible. If you love old architecture and history the way we do, you're going to be amazed. The host was very friendly and accomodating. We have found our new go to place when we visit Detroit. I can't wait to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Donavan

Host profile image
I am retired from 25+ years in Federal Law Enforcement and now spend my time as a film/tv actor and renovating this amazing historic home. After retirement I put my heart and soul into the full two year renovation of the garden level basement into a beautiful rental space.

Why they chose this property

This is Detroit "Most Walkable" neighborhood, with a great community, amazing restaurants, and breathtaking views. Not to mention its just a 1-3 block walk to all the sporting events and most concerts in the city.

What makes this property unique

The world famous architect, to the unique hand carved front porch, and rich history of those that have lived here, have placed the home on the National Register of Historic Homes. A beautiful spacious rental space with all new amenities is just a little way of sharing the house with those visiting Detroit.
