This is a beautiful, spacious upstairs apartment on Ann Arbor's very charming Old West Side, just blocks from Main Street and downtown. What we loved most was the way the sun illuminates everything in the mornings which -- coupled with the great views from the level of the tree-tops -- just made our mornings (and evenings!) so memorable. The apartment has some great mid-century furniture and beautiful art on the walls, adding to the lovely aesthetics of hardwood floors and nicely designed rugs. Great kitchen and office/studio for remote work. Linda and Rolf are the most generous, easy, and wonderful hosts you can ask for -- they'll invite you for a backyard fire and bring you delicious home-made dishes! We couldn'’t have been happier!”
