Location & Surroundings
The flat is steps from several bus stops (Crooks & Chester SW, Crooks & Lexington NE, and Crooks & Normandy, all under 200m away) and within a few kilometers of Troy and Royal Oak train stations. Numerous dining options are nearby, including The Hideout and Kyoto Japanese Steakhouse within about 1.1km, Redcoat Tavern roughly 2km away, and further options like HopCat, Detroit Eatery, Blind Owl Royal Oak, Mesa Tacos and Tequila, and Aldana Mexican Bar and Grill within a few kilometers. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is about 38km away, and downtown Royal Oak's bars, shops, and coffee spots are just minutes away.
Best for
This flat suits remote workers and business travelers thanks to its dedicated workspace, business-class Wi-Fi, and quiet residential setting, as well as leisure travelers who want walkable access to Royal Oak's restaurant and bar scene. It's also a good fit for longer stays given the fully equipped kitchen, in-unit laundry access, and outdoor grill and fire pit for relaxing evenings.
Travel tips
Because the unit is on the third floor with stairs only and no elevator, pack light or be prepared to carry luggage up multiple flights. Free parking and a complimentary EV charging station are available on-site, making a car a convenient option, while nearby bus stops (all under 200m away) offer an alternative for getting around. Quiet hours run from 8 PM to 8 AM, and guests should note the thermostat controls may take a moment to locate upon arrival.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the cleanliness, comfortable bedding, and thoughtful presentation of the apartment, along with responsive and friendly hosting. Several reviewers highlight the convenient location near town for both work trips and leisure stays. On the downside, at least one guest noted the difficulty of the third-floor walk-up with only stairs available, particularly when carrying luggage, and another mentioned trouble locating the thermostat, which led to a warmer room at night.
