La Maison Bleue***Lovely Upper Apt**Downtown RO***

Walk downtown! Cozy 1908 house within blocks of downtown Royal Oak. Recently updated for your comfortable home-away-from-home. Enjoy coffee, tea, water and snacks provided for you in this inviting space. Netflix and chill or go out for the night. Your location couldn't be better if you love the convenience of great food, eclectic shopping, and a variety of entertainment venues on your doorstep. Easy freeway access gets you to neighboring areas and attractions quickly. This is a small (approximately 700 sq. foot) one-bedroom upper flat, and has everything you need for a great stay. You must be able to climb stairs to access this unit. Home is situated on a busy-ish road so traffic noise is common during the day, but quiets at night. Property can be entered/exited via the main road or the alley behind the home. There is ample parking along side the home in the driveway and in the backyard. There is another AirBNB unit on the lower level which will share only the yard and parking areas with you, the upper living space is all yours. Please ask us if you have any special needs or requests, we will do our best to accommodate. This property and neighborhood is pet friendly, but yard is not enclosed, so they will need to be supervised. In order to keep our property pet friendly, pets may not be left alone in the home unless they are crated with adequate protection of surface beneath the crate. If you plan to bring your pet, we need to know at the time of booking and a $30 pet fee will be collected separately via money request. While smoking of any type is NOT ALLOWED indoors at any time for any reason, there is a cigarette receptacle outdoors that we ask you to use if smoking outside. Please extinguish cigarette before dropping into receptacle! Entire property, except for the lower unit, is available for your use. We work day jobs as well as host this property, so we'll be as accessible as we can be with that in mind. We do not live in the home, but are only 10 minutes away for any needs which require our assistance. We are happy to meet you upon arrival if you prefer (when we are not at work), but you will be given an access code to a lockbox containing your keys for easy entrance upon arrival. Please contact us with any questions, requests, or comments and we will respond as soon as possible! But please, emergencies only after 10pm. Royal Oak has many wonderful eateries & shops; it's impossible to narrow down a favorite. We'll leave a list of recommendations in your unit, but if you are looking for something specific/special, please ask! Alongside great food & drink options there are movie theaters, comedy, yoga, fitness, spa/salons, art galleries, parks, and a zoo all nearby! Other nearby communities with much to offer include Birmingham, Ferndale, and Detroit of course. There is a bus stop 2 blocks away. Easy and relatively inexpensive Uber & Lyft are readily available in the area. Driving during "rush-hour" (approximately 4pm-6pm) will slow you down a bit. There is a school on the block where you are staying and traffic also gets heavy during drop-off and pick-up times, but alley access to the property helps you avoid this issue! If the weather is nice, it's a very short and pleasant walk to all downtown offerings! -Home is near train tracks, so you will hear occasional train sounds. -For longer term stays (greater than 2 weeks), we require and will collect a cleaning fee for every 2 weeks booked. We will have your unit cleaned every two weeks to enhance your stay with fresh linens and a refreshed space. -A pack & play is available if you need one, please let us know.
