Conflicting information on listing regarding pet policy. Wrong access code given. Got into it with management company staff because they couldn't 'hear' me entering the access code. Initially had to use stairs because elevator wasn't operating. Garbage in stairwell. Quiet policy not necessarily adhered to. Fortunately, met the owner of the unit who was very helpful explaining/showing how the elevator worked, as well as getting us into the unit. Management company accused us of not disclosing that we were traveling with pets, and then charged a penalty as a result. Property owner very helpful, management company not so much.

Amazed by the entire stay. From the check in to the managment and accommodations. The loft was clean, quiet and well equipped. Perfect space for a couple retreat, small family, or even a photoshoot! I stayed the night and had a small dinner party. If there was any issue or question no one hessitated to help out.

The place is so spacious, and it's decorated in my favorite colors. The bed could be more comfortable, but that's my only complaint about the space itself. I loved that there were extra blankets available and that the hosts had left some chocolate and bottled water in addition to a few snacks. The building was quiet and really cool if you enjoy the loft aesthetic like we do. Easy to get in and out, and loved the comprehensive info written on the chalkboard inside. I do want to let all potential renters know that we were not advised about a few very important check-in requirements, which led to some confusion. (If someone texts you to ask for your ID and credit card number, they are not a scammer like you may think. It's really the property management company!)

I can't speak to the inside of the property; we didn't get out of the car. We did not feel safe parking in front of the building, leaving my family in the car, or taking them inside. There were 3 people hanging outside the front door smoking, drinking from bagged beverages, and staring at us like we were the last steak on the buffet. I'd say if you have a running car made within the last 20 years, inflated tires, and all its parts, you will stand out too. The parking lot had 9 cars - 6 of which had at least one flat tire most had all four flat and multiple missing parts like they were stripped. High fences, and barbwire everywhere, with some boarded windows, some missing windows, and some paper over windows on this building (Lafayette Lofts). There are four high rise condos between this building and the river so not sure where the river views picture came from (maybe one of those buildings). VRBO recommends you contact Red Awning for issues, Red Awning sends you to the Host, the Host sends you to VRBO, etc. an endless cycle of excuses without any resolution. We were unable to get a refund or alternate accommodations, we still went elsewhere. It reminded me of the movie Coming to America when Semmi redoes his apartment. The single pane windows and permanent window AC units can't be efficient insulators. IF the area is improving, I'd say this would be a great place in 10-15 years, but it appears to be the first renovations currently. Save your money and time.

Clean and spacious. Absolutely no issues with anything. Far enough out of the city for it to be relatively quiet. Close enough to find a bite to eat without too much work. Grubhubs address takes them away from the buildings though. Use the actual building name so they know. Cool pad to crash at with your buddies though.

The loft is nice and spacious. There are things provided. The host is very nice and will not hesitate to help if something comes up. The area around it is a bit sketchy, but it’s okay. It’s close to downtown Detroit so it’s very easy to explore.

This was a nicely remodeled loft. Plenty of sleeping space and spacious.
