The space
Built in 1897, the Trumbull House underwent a comprehensive refurbishment in 2018-2019 to modernize the building while preserving the beautiful design elements and architectural style unique to early-20th-century Detroit! The Penthouse has an open floor plan incorporating the kitchen, living room, and dining room - tons of light! It is a beautiful space, so please please please no smoking or vaping!
The Penthouse has both central heating and A/C controlled by a Nest thermostat, which you are free to adjust as you please! There is high-speed "RocketFiber" Wifi internet and an HDTV with full streaming services available, including Netflix, HBO, Hulu, YouTube, as well as the standard broadcast and cable channels. Additionally, there is a full work-from-home setup in the main bedroom, including a 30 inch widescreen monitor, bluetooth full-size computer keyboard, bluetooth mouse, and inkjet printer.
The kitchen has all the basic essentials, including plates, bowls, cutlery, glasses (water & wine), pots, pans, a blender, knife set, cutting board, and also has a coffee maker, electric tea kettle, and Nespresso machine! There is a full-sized refrigerator and a dishwasher, and for laundry there is an in-unit washer and dryer. The dining room is in the "turret" area of the Penthouse and has a table with chairs.
The Penthouse has two bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed, and one large couch. There are extras of everything you might need (pillows, sheets, blankets, etc.). The bedrooms each have a closet and multiple plugs if you would like to charge your devices. There are also two full bathrooms, one with a large walk-in shower and the other with a beautiful "clawfoot" style shower/tub. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and various other hygiene items are in the apartment, but if you have any additional/specific requests before your stay, just ask before your stay and we'll try to make it happen!
Trumbull House has an attached fenced/secure parking lot with an automatic gate and the Penthouse has 1 assigned spot. There is also free street parking if you have more than 1 car (please do not park 2 cars in the parking lot as each spot is assigned to the other tenants/owners in the building!). The gate is operated by a "clicker," which you will receive upon check-in. Access to the Penthouse is directly from the secure parking lot up the stairs to the private deck.
Entry to the Penthouse is via smart lock - you will be provided a randomized access code for the lock that will work for the duration of your stay, so no need to bring keys with you if you head out to dinner, bars, or a show! The neighborhood is safe, quiet, and residential to begin with and Trumbull House is very secure, but the apartment also has a Ring "smart" alarm system. You absolutely do NOT have to use it if you don't want, but if you do, the code to arm/disarm the alarm system will be the same as your smart lock access code (the systems are linked).
Regarding stairs, one of the biggest perks of the Penthouse is its private roof deck and top-floor location, but that means it is on the top (3rd) floor! So please keep in mind that the primary access to the unit is up 2 flights of stairs.
Again, please no smoking or vaping! It is extremely difficult and expensive to get the smell out. Unfortunately, NO PETS ALLOWED.
We are required to disclose by Airbnb privacy policy that there is an outside/exterior security camera overlooking the roof deck for safety/security purposes.
Other things to note
NO PARTIES! This is a quiet residential building with people living in the other units, so please be respectful.
ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING OR VAPING - the smell is so difficult to get out and it makes stays for future guests much less pleasant, so unfortunately we have to impose a $250 charge if there is any smell of smoke.
