We had a large group stay for weekend to tailgate at the lions game Sunday and enjoy Detriot and what is has to offer. This is an amazing place to stay!! So clean we just felt so comfortable lounging around and enjoying the house. The house is themed Motown as it’s a few doors down the the Motown museum. It done to perfection, not at all over done or
EVERYTHING about this place was exceptional. It is 1/2 block from Motown Museum. We felt like we were immersed in the history of Motown - from the artwork, the jukeboxes on every floor, and the little memorabilia touches in this property. You could FEEL this history of Motown! The amenities themselves - PLENTY of everything- anything we needed - already there! The sleeping spaces were all private and comfy. Property manager was super attentive- we really didn’t need anything but when I emailed a question - I had an immediate response. Attended a wedding on the riverfront downtown - VERY SHORT UBER ride which was much less expensive the parking in that area. You will not regret booking this spacious, meticulous space!
Our group consisted of 12 family members and one close friend. Our son's wedding was held on East Grand which made this location perfect. David was easily accessible and very responsive although we really didn't have any issues to speak of.
The house was Amazing! We were there for a long weekend with a large group of friends and it was perfect for the 14 of us! It was clean and there was plenty of room for us to spread out or be together! Location was great! only a 10 minute drive from downtown! David was an excellent host and super prompt with communication. Highly recommended staying here!
This will be indepth - tl;dr: The vrbo is amazing, highly recommended especially for large groups, the area is safe, and the owners communicated in a timely manner and with great information. 1. The number of beds: There are 4 private rooms off of the first and second floor with a queen bed each. There are 2 more rooms with bunkbeds that are a queen+full. On the third floor is a private room with a queen bed and a loft in a large common room with a twin bed. There are many couches that can hold less picky people as well. 2. The neighborhood is safe, there is a hospital with private security as well as a police department just blocks away. There are rundown houses, but the area is being renovated. The secured parking can hold 4-5 cars, we had no problems with people parking on the street. Lyft and Uber operated in area. 3. The house is amazing. It was well cleaned, there are gas stoves on two levels, showers had good pressure and heat, the little touches like the jukeboxes, record players, and 8 track players truly made the Motown theming great instead of tacky / cheaply themed. 4. We talked a lot with owner due to being from out of town and coordinating a private wedding event here. The communication was prompt, we were made aware of any issues with the property ahead of time, and finally, this property was free from some of the frustrating micromanagement that is all too common in short term rentals these days.
I surprised my friends and family with the Motown BNB and a Stevie Wonder impersonator for my birthday weekend in the D. The lower level was the perfect backdrop for Stevie's performance and a dance party afterwards. 11 of us enjoyed all of the amenities and the spaciousness of the house. The host David responded right away to any questions or concerns. An exceptional stay overall. Would definitely return!
I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the unit. We were here for a bachelor party and the house still felt pretty big.
We had an amazing time at the Motown house for my daughter’s wedding! The house has everything you need for a large group! Our favorite was the themed rooms and Jukeboxes! Thank you for making our home away from home so amazing!!! The host is very responsive and helpful! Everything was clean and comfortable! I would definitely recommend this house!!!
We came with a large group to celebrate a graduation and used it as an excuse for a family reunion. We could not have chosen a better place. Our host was super helpful and responsive. The house was AMAZING! The neighborhood was great and we walked to the Motown Museum just a few houses away. Great restaurants and an awesome bakery just an easy drive away. We loved it! A perfect weekend!
Perfect house for multiple people
This property is absolutely stunning. The Motown vibe and vintage feel was just right for our getaway. Communication with property owner was fabulous as well. We will definitely be booking again for next year!
This was the perfect place to stay for my group of college friends that grew up with Motown. The house is fabulous and a very short walk to the Motown Museum and short drives to all the other places in downtown Detroit that we wanted to visit. It had everything we needed - lots of space for the group, well-appointed kitchens for us to cook in and juke boxes on every level to inspire our sing-along sessions! We have gotten together for 38 years at many locations and we all agreed that this was the best house we have ever rented. Thanks so much!
There aren't enough good things we could say about the amazing experience we had, as well as our guests. We live about 5 minutes away and booked this rental as a place for our out-of-town friends and family to stay, as well as a place for any guests to crash that needed the night of the wedding. Our friends came into town to make our wedding dessert & cake, they even made that here. Everyone had enough space to be comfortable while still having plenty of common space to socialize. We the bridal party dressed up in cloud 9 and our photographer had a blast taking pictures of us throughout the space. The jukeboxes and 8-tracks were constantly in use and we even partied after the wedding in the basement, playing pool and dancing in our wedding clothes, we even ended up cutting our cake there. Check-in was easy, you're literally on the same block as the Motown Museum so our out of town folks loved walking down the street to spend time there. Even the kitchen had the basics, some oil, seasonings, coffee pods for use in the morning...if I had more time to write more, I would go on and on about every detail. I will also mention that the gated parking was great and the lot out back was available for everyone else when needed. We will have to come up with a different life event to celebrate and use this house to host ourselves and our guests.
My entire family absolutely loved the house . We couldn’t have been any happier. I would definitely recommend this property to everyone . Thank you again for everything .
We had a great weekend in Detroit for a celebration of life. One of the many large dining tables and the veranda off the second floor gave us plenty of space to visit. The Motown details are wonderful. Will definitely come back with other groups
We needed something close to Ford Field & convention center, it needed to be big enough to fit our team and their individual teams as well…and it was PERFECT in anyway! Each level has individual kitchens n bathrooms perfect for each team, not to mention all the nostalgic memorabilia actually in working order!!! So awesome, thank you for the the communication and ability to work well together! Thanks a million a sure stay for anyone looking!!!
We had a wedding party stay in David’s home and it was perfect for us! It was very close to the Detroit venues we needed to be at. David was very responsive and easy to get ahold of. This home is awesome and has a super fun Motown theme.
