The Reveal
In 2017 I purchased a turn-of-the-century worker's cottage on the near east side. It is a work in progress and has ongoing renovations. It's close to public transport, and minutes away from the restaurants, dining, and nightlife in Midtown, Eastern Market and downtown.
The private room features a comfy futon, desk and chair, bookshelf and closet. The kitchen, bathroom and living space other than private room are all shared space. Front porch/entrance has some uneven steps, so not fully accessible to persons with physical limitations that prevent going up and down stairs.
I like to meet my guests and make sure they are settled. I live here too, so other than the private guest room, all space is shared space
There is a doorbell camera outside on the front porch near the door. There are no cameras or recording devices anywhere inside.

I am an artist and gardener/landscaper in the Detroit area. I enjoy meeting my guests and can recommend fun things to do while in the Detroit area. I often have a busy schedule during the garden season, so I may not be available to accompany you however.
I am involved with Detroit's vibrant arts community, as well as involved in the local farm to table growing community.

Dave was a terrific host. He gave great recommendations for local restaurants. Clean house and comfortable bed. And we had some great interactions over his welcoming kitchen table.

I stayed here one snowy weekend in February. Dave is an artist and collector and the house is full of character. It's close to downtown. Full circle, this was a fun experience, going out and returning to eccentric coziness.

Dave was a generous host and was helpful with information. The bed was very comfortable and he was always ready to share information. He was an excellent host. Dave is an artist and his work covers the walls of his home. It is a bonus.

Dave was so warm, kind and hospitable. His art-filled home is super cozy and comfortable. I regret I was only able to stay one night and I hope to return again. Thanks, Dave!

Spent a few days in Detroit to attend my friend's wedding and had a nice stay with Dave. I love art, and if you do as well, you will love this house. If I ever get back to the city I would stay here again.
