Guests keep coming back

Many guests return for repeat stays, praising how clean and consistent the space is each time
This is one of eight 1 bedroom apartments we have listed in a secure mid-century 8 unit brick building. They offer abundant natural light with an updated kitchen and bath. We have furnished the home with comfort and convenience in mind.
For quick answers to FAQ please read through our listing.

Please note the second bed is a sofa bed. Not everyone finds them to be comfortable.

The space
We stay in the apartments from time to time. We find them to be very peaceful and comfortable. A real home away from home. We have taken care to decorate and furnish them to be comfortable and inviting, but are always making changes and improvements based upon guest feedback.

Guest access
You will receive a door code through your Airbnb trip itinerary. It will open both exterior doors and your apartment (no keys to keep track of or worry about returning). We have free parking behind the building. Our parking lot allows only 1 car per apartment. We have 2 extra spaces that are first come, first serve, but definitely not guaranteed. There is a coin operated washer and dryer in the building. We have storage lockers that are usually available for extended stay guests.

Other things to note
Some Frequently Asked Questions.

We are always happy to address any questions or concerns you may have. However we try to make our listing as complete as possible so please see if you can find your answer there or in the following questions.

Is the apartment available for a certain date?

If you filter your search for the dates you need and our apartment pops up it is available. If you are browsing without a date filter you can use the "check availability" button and it will show you a calendar with the open dates.

Can we check in early?

We will accommodate an early checkin to the best of our ability. It all depends on whether or not we have a guest the night before you arrive and when they check out. Do to these unknowns we won't know if or when we can allow an early checkin until the night before or the day of your checkin. If you need the apt before the 4:00 pm checkin let us know and we will do our best to have it ready asap and text you as soon as it's ready. If you absolutely have to have the apartment before 4:00 pm the safest bet is to book an extra day

Can we check-out late?

Generally no. We plan on being there to get the apartment ready right at noon. Whoever, if you have extenuating circumstances let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you. If you need accommodations past 11:00 am you may need to consider booking another night.

How far is it to (anywhere)?

Airbnb includes a map that shows the one block radius our building is in (Airbnb blocks the exact address and location until after you book for security reasons). We also have included a list of distances to common destinations in our photos. The building is centrally located less then a mile from the expressway and In general you can be anywhere in the Lansing area in 10-15 by car.

Is it a safe neighborhood?

Crime statistics are hard to come by on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis. Lansing is a mid sized city with the typical diverse demographic you would find in a downtown area. While we do not reside in the building we do stay there on on a regular basis and are in and out several times a week and often everyday and neither of us have had a concern for our safety. As anywhere you should use prudence and be aware of your surroundings.


Will you negotiate your rate?

No. We do offer a 10% discount for continuous stays of 30 days or more, the discount will automatically be applied when you reserve a stay of that length. Our focus is to provide the best housing experience for our guest. To that end we price our units fairly so we have the funds necessary for cleaning, up keep, and on going improvements to the building and apartments, taking into consideration the other housing options available in the area and current demand. Giving random discounts would be confusing and unfair to our other guests. We (and our past guest) feel that our apartments are a great value at the listed price.

Can we just pay you directly?

No. It would violate our relationship with Airbnb. We feel they provide there service in good faith and provide protection to to both us as host and you as guest in the unlikely event of a problem or disagreement. Please make your reservation using the Airbnb web site.

We have been landlords in Lansing for over 25 years. We discovered Airbnb and loved the concept and sense of community it brings about compared to traditional hotels, so we decided to try our hand at hosting. We take a lot of pride in our property and our furnished Airbnb apartments. We enjoy meeting new people especially from different places and backgrounds. We hope you enjoy your stay with us!
