City Experience in the Heart of Downtown Berkley
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
This listing is the upper flat of a mixed-use building on Berkley's downtown Main Street, offering a spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom residence under 1000 square feet with hardwood floors, carpet, and slate tile. New windows and doors were recently installed, and sound insulation added in March 2025 to reduce noise from the ground-floor commercial space, a small martial arts studio that sits empty overnight. Guests reach the flat via one of two large staircases, leading to either a front entrance on 12 Mile or a rear entrance through a tree-lined courtyard.
Rooms & Layout
The flat has two bedrooms (27' x 9' and 18' x 8'), a living room (14' x 18'), and a kitchen (18' x 9'). Sleeping arrangements include two queen beds plus a twin blow-up mattress with bedding provided (guests inflate and make it up themselves). Three Roku TVs are distributed through the unit, and each of the two entrances is private and separate from the other.
Amenities
The unit is equipped with a full kitchen including microwave and oven/stove, an in-unit washer and dryer (no coin-op or sharing), air conditioning, heating, and an ironing board. Additional extras include a hot tub, fitness center access, a private patio, and free Wi-Fi and free off-street parking (two designated spaces plus adjacent city parking).
Location & Surroundings
Set directly on Berkley's Main Street, the flat is steps from dining and nightlife, including El Patio Mexican Restaurant, NAWAB British Indian Cuisine, The Rind, and Amici's Kitchen and Living Room, all within about 130 meters. Bus service is available 39 meters away at 12 Mile & Gardner NW, and Royal Oak Station (train) is about 4 km away, with Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport roughly 35 km distant.
Best for
This flat suits groups or families wanting a self-contained home base with a kitchen, in-unit laundry, and walkable access to Berkley's Main Street restaurants and bars. It also appeals to travelers who value private off-street parking and a quiet courtyard patio while still being steps from dining and nearby bus service.
Travel tips
Use the rear courtyard entrance if you prefer a quieter approach, or the front 12 Mile entrance for direct Main Street access. Nearby dining options like Amici's Kitchen and Living Room, The Rind, and El Patio Mexican Restaurant are all within a two-minute walk, so plan to explore on foot. If arriving by public transit, the 12 Mile & Gardner NW bus stop is just 39 meters away, though Royal Oak Station and the airport require a car or rideshare.
