Convenient and Cute

It was a perfect home base as I mostly was going around Ann Arbor and helping my brother move out it was easily walkable and a nice place to relax.

Beautiful studio, perfectly located

The Retro Neat is perfectly named: the decor is a lovely throwback and the ambiance is comforting. The location is absolute perfection, right near Nickels Arcade, snuggled discreetly off the street. The lack of designated parking is offset by the parking structure literally around the corner. I’m already planning my next stay!
