底特律 · 民居里的独立房间 · 1室0床1.5卫 · 可住2人 · King Room in Historic Mansion
Come stay in this second floor bedroom suite in a Historic Detroit Mansion. This beautiful bedroom has vaulted ceilings, a king sized bed, and a beautiful private bathroom across the hall. In addition to your room, you will also have access to the common areas in the home including the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The beautiful woodwork and history in the home is reason enough to visit, but it is also walking distance to restaurants, a grocery store, plus arenas and concert venues. This is a shared home with other Airbnb guests. From USA Today: A 135-year-old house in Detroit has a costarring role in a new vampire movie, featuring a very intriguing romantic couple played by Avengers star Tom Hiddleston and Oscar winner Tilda Swinton of Michael Clayton. The historic home symbolizes the decaying grandeur of a post-industrial city in Only Lovers Left Alive, which has been drawing good reviews In real life, the Victorian house at 82 Alfred St. in Brush Park has been undergoing a restoration that started not long after the film crew left. In the movie, the brick house with the striking turret is the moody abode of Adam (Hiddleston), a centuries-old rock musician-vampire who prefers to dine via blood banks and lives surrounded by old sound equipment, vinyl albums, rare guitars and photos of artists ranging from Franz Kafka to Iggy Pop. Jeff Cowin, who has renovated five homes in the area, bought the 6,200-square-foot property in December 2012. That was only months after it was filmed. When Cowin took ownership, the roof leaked through the attic and three floors to the front foyer. The plumbing and wiring needed to be replaced. Much of the plaster on the walls was damaged or missing. He spent a few weeks filling dumpsters with the hoard of items left by the previous owners. The story of 82 Alfred reflects the ups and downs of Detroit through time. It was built in the late 1870s, then expanded and remodeled to its Queen Anne style by David C. Whitney, son of lumber baron David Whitney Jr., according to Eric Becker, who has researched the historic homes of the Brush Park neighborhood. Whitney used architect Gordon W. Lloyd. As Detroit changed, so did the house. By the 1920s, the wealthy enclave of Brush Park was becoming a crowded neighborhood for auto industry workers. The home was turned into a rooming house. By the time Jarmusch's film crew arrived, decades of the city's economic struggles were visible on Alfred Street, where only a few inhabited homes, the remnants of the Gilded Age, still exist. A fan of the Motor City, Jarmusch has a documentary in the works on Iggy Pop & the Stooges and has collaborated with Jack White and the White Stripes. According to the Detroit location manager for Only Lovers Left Alive, Chris-Teena Constas, she scouted for quite a while before Jarmusch chose 82 Alfred. "One of the the main and most important locations was Adam's house," said Constas. "They really wanted to stay true and authentic to Detroit and the architecture."
Aesthetically pleasing old house with new kitchen and bathroom. If you don’t mind shared space with other guests it’s a great value.
I was very impressed with the house and its historical backstory. The space was very fun and eclectic, and also close to the Midtown neighborhood and walking distance to plenty of neat things to see and do. Jeff and Ariana were very cordial and even checked in with me regarding the WiFi speeds since they knew I was there for work. I would definitely stay here again next time I’m in Detroit!
Good host and good location, walkable to Detroit DT and midtown. plus stadiums are nearby. responsive host and clean. idea for single travellers for non-business.
Great location if you're going to a game. Some fairly nice restaurants and bars in the area. Relatively walkable to most things, especially if it's nice outside. I'd imagine if they still used the house this way after they finish renovations, it would be a beautiful place to stay.
Jeff and Zoe’s place was great! You have a private bedroom (with a very comfy bed) and bathroom, as well as access to common spaces (a kitchen, dining room, living room and piano room). The house is beautifully furnished, and I love the plants everywhere. The area is very walkable and accessible to public transit routes. Highly recommend!
自我介绍
We look forward to meeting you! For several years now, we have been renovating some great old houses here in the heart of a Detroit. I'm a 34 year old city and neighborhood booster, historic preservationist, property manager, amateur pianist, former BMW Master Technician, and entrepreneur. Detroit has emerged from bankruptcy with incredible momentum and energy. New restaurants, bars and retail stores are opening all the time. People are visiting and moving to Detroit, from all over the globe. Come check out what all the excitement is about, and let us know if we may be your guide! Since all of our renovated Virginia Park Historic District homes are fully leased, we are currently hosting Airbnb guests exclusively at our latest renovated home in Brush Park Historic District, downtown Detroit. This historic home renovation has been a labor of love. Better known as the David C. Whitney House, this homes condition when we purchased it in December 2012 was tragic. This is only one of three Alfred Street homes that have survived intact from Detroit's Guilded Age (last quarter of the 19th century). We hope you will come enjoy the fruits of our renovation effort by choosing to stay here and exploring this historic jewel in the city!
