Our home is a pleasant 10 min walk from TONS of restaurants & dining in Downtown Royal Oak, 15 minute drive South down Woodward to Downtown Detroit or 15min North on Woodward to Birmingham/Bloomfield Hills, also close to misc. arts, culture, & family-friendly activities (the zoo is one block away)! You will be staying in the newly renovated basement suite of a beautiful white-brick 1920s home. Immaculately clean room with private bathroom, good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers.. Pets are allowed, but you will have to confirm that they are 100% house broken! And may be asked to crate them if you are leaving the house without them.. as we have had some problems with both things in the past :) Your basement suite includes a bedroom complete with bed, super large couch, comfy chair, coffee table and your own tv! You also have a recently redone private bathroom right outside your bedroom with a toilet, sink/vanity, and a nice large shower with bench (people say it is one of the best showers they've experienced! lol). On the first floor of the house you have access to all of the rooms and patio and front porch as long as you do not leave messes of any sort behind!! :) We can be there upon your arrival and we are not home a ton. If you want to hang out and talk we love having a glass of wine with guests on the back patio or by the fire, but are also happy to meet you once and then just let you do your thing!! One of the safest, most beautiful and oldest neighborhoods in metro Detroit! 10 minute walk to Downtown Royal Oak or easily pick up an Uber that will take you to RO for $4! There is a bus stop at the corner of our block and our street is the first one just West of Woodward Ave (the first "highway" in America and home to the Woodward Dream Cruise!!) Check-in and check-out times are flexible when possible, up to 24 hours a day, but generally sometime after noon (12pm) is preferred for check-in and if we have someone leaving the room the same day you arrive check-in might have to be at 3:00pm (check with us). Also sometime before noon is preferred for check-out, but check to see if we have anyone coming after you, if not you can leave whenever!!
