I feel like we hit the lottery with this one. This was such an immaculate and adorable little place, and we absolutely loved the decor. You can tell a lot of thought and care went into every part of the apartment, from the layout to the little design details that made it feel cozy and special.The location was perfect too. It was within walking distance of tons of great bars, restaurants, and coffee shops, and the University of Michigan campus is right there, which is a beautiful area to explore if you are new to Ann Arbor.I drive an F-150 and didn’t realize until after booking that there wasn’t dedicated parking, so I was a little worried about whether I’d be able to fit in the nearby parking structure. Thankfully, it was very close, easy to use, and there was plenty of room.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this place. It had charm, comfort, and a great location all wrapped into one.We would definately visit again!

This was a wonderful location to spend a few days in Ann Arbor. I was there for a conference that was being held in the Student Union at the university. It was perfectly situated in an area with everything you could possibly need from retail to wonderful restaurants to quaint shops. My only caution would be that there is a very steep stairwell to access the residence. This wasn’t a problem but could be an issue if you are traveling with someone that has mobility challenges. The owners were very responsive and helpful. I would definitely stay here again if I visit in the future.

Convenient and Cute

It was a perfect home base as I mostly was going around Ann Arbor and helping my brother move out it was easily walkable and a nice place to relax.

Beautiful studio, perfectly located

The Retro Neat is perfectly named: the decor is a lovely throwback and the ambiance is comforting. The location is absolute perfection, right near Nickels Arcade, snuggled discreetly off the street. The lack of designated parking is offset by the parking structure literally around the corner. I’m already planning my next stay!
