    Great house to nearby U of M and Main Street A2. Would highly recommend and good parking space in back, end of driveway. We drove to move in my daughter to college and had a XL SUV. No issues. We also walked a lot to main campus, Main St restaurants and shops as well as touring the entire area. Very safe and quiet, peaceful neighborhood.

    We loved staying at this sweet Ann Arbor house! There was plenty of room for the 6 of us and we really appreciated the deck and beautiful garden. Lots of places for us to all hang out together. The location was great- an easy walk to campus and old haunts from our collegiate youth.
