It is a unique property with many vintage features. That being said it isn’t for everyone as vintage can also seem old. I am not a fan of painted bathtubs. They look fine until they start to chip and then they look just old.

What a great & cool set up of a simple property. It was warm and welcoming but had nice spots to hang out too. Super close to downtown Royal Oak, which has great options for dining, shopping & entertainment. Walking distance to the comedy house and movie theatre/bowling.
