Owned by artists ART LOFT has a lot of bells and whistles: modern appliances, luxury stand up shower, spacious bedrooms, massive deck with eating and sitting space, but with the charm of an old loft: exposed beams, vibrant art and unique decor. This is a very quiet Airbnb. Owners onsite.
ART LOFT is located centrally, near the tunnel, in a charming old neighborhood. It is our home, and while you stay, we move into our creative spaces downstairs. The apartment is a separate space.
The space
Art loft is the completely separate upper floor of a converted old yellow bricked commercial building. Originally a printing shop on the main floor and a hair salon in the 1960’s, this old building has been restored to perfection. The ceilings rafters are exposed creating a loft style open concept feel. This is our home that we are offering to you and we are selective about who we let stay. No profile picture or reviews and we will not accept your booking. It is helpful if you include a message to us so we can get to know you better. We retire to our creative studios below when guests book and will be onsite and available for assistance. We adhere to the airbnb policy of no parties, and will take immediate action if this becomes the situation. This rental is for the express use of the guests who are booking with us, and on occasion we will require full names of all guests staying with us. Occasionally we say yes to family and friends stopping by the space, but with prior knowledge and permissions from us.
Having said all of that, our space is exceptional for a romantic get away, a quiet retreat, a place to land after an event in Detroit, a safe stop before a flight out of Detroit, an excellent stay while visiting family, etc. That is our speed and the intention behind the space.
KITCHEN and DINING ROOM
The main room in the front is an open concept kitchen and dining room of extreme comfort and elegance. Cool sculptures, plants, original artwork populate this special space. There are real linens, a vintage Mikasa dish set, and many cool serving dishes and other comforts at your disposal. The kitchen is a stunning open concept with a stone counter and gas stove. New Henkel pots and pans are available, and many condiments and dry goods, including organic honey, sugar, teas, fresh local coffee stocked in the vintage Gaggia grinder. Baby Gaggia espresso machine and a Bodum are available. The bar has two charging stations located underneath. While we do not have a dedicated office, it is super to work at the end of the bar.
MAIN LIVING ROOM
Our living room is a theatre style set up with a mounted flat screen. Stylish modern sofa with plentyof room. Down-filled reading lounger. Beautifully decorated, with floor to ceiling sliding doors out to the large deck.

Other things to note
While it is always worth it to reach out and ask, we normally do not do same day bookings, as we live in the unit and it takes us a minimum of five hours to clean and vacate the unit. We have had several requests for this, and wanted to give a realistic picture of our space and its turn over reality. If we can, we will! it normally last minute is tricky for us. Thanks for understanding!
We post that four people can fit in our unit. To clarify, there are two beds and so two couples can fit, or a family if one child sleeps on the couch. We will not accept bookings of four friends as we do not have enough linens or space.
