Overview
This centrally located 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home in the Royal Oak area offers a comfortable base for families, work trips, relocation stays, medical visits, and longer stays in metro Detroit.

Rooms
All three bedrooms are located upstairs: Bedroom 1 has a queen bed, Bedroom 2 has a queen bed and TV, and Bedroom 3 has a king bed, a TV, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. A full hallway bathroom with a bathtub sits between the bedrooms, and each bedroom is equipped with a brown noise sound machine and tower fan for a restful stay.
Amenities & Recreation
The home includes a fully equipped kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, a washer and dryer, central air conditioning and heating, free Wi-Fi, and cable and smart TVs with streaming. A finished basement adds extra seating, a workspace desk, a laundry area, and a ping pong table, while the outdoor space offers a fully fenced backyard, deck seating, and a propane grill.
Family & Practical Touches
Thoughtful extras include coffee, tea, creamer, sugar, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, plus a crib, baby bathtub, portable booster chair, and children's plates, silverware, and cups for families with young children. Self check-in is available via keypad entry, and driveway and street parking are provided, with a digital guidebook and Matterport 360 tour sent after booking.
Location
The home sits just minutes from Woodward Avenue, downtown Royal Oak, Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak, the Detroit Zoo, and downtown Birmingham, with an easy drive to downtown Detroit. Approximate drive times are 5 minutes to downtown Royal Oak, 9 minutes to Beaumont Hospital, 10 minutes to the Detroit Zoo, 10 minutes to downtown Birmingham, 20-25 minutes to downtown Detroit, and 40 minutes to Detroit Metro Airport.
Best for
This home suits families needing multiple bedrooms and kid gear like a crib and booster chair, medical visitors due to its 9-minute proximity to Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak, and remote workers or relocating professionals thanks to the basement workspace desk, free Wi-Fi, and laundry facilities. Its central position near Woodward Avenue, Royal Oak, Birmingham, and Detroit also appeals to longer-stay guests exploring multiple metro Detroit destinations from one base.
Travel tips
Guests should plan for a car, as drive times to key spots like downtown Royal Oak (5 minutes), the Detroit Zoo (10 minutes), and downtown Detroit (20-25 minutes) suggest the area is best navigated by driving rather than walking or transit. Self check-in with a keypad code makes arrival flexible, and the pre-booking digital guidebook with restaurant and grocery recommendations is worth reviewing ahead of arrival. Note the 4-night minimum stay requirement for guests residing locally.
