We knew the general area when we booked but it was better than we thought! Parking garage was so close to the front door that we could leave our bikes right on the bike rack at the car and grab them when we wanted to use them. The building has 2 elevators and only about 30 units so there was literally no waiting to get to the 7th floor, or back down again. The conveniences are almost too many to list. Restaurants everywhere in the area with regular American food or every type of ethnic food you can imagine (one of the many great thing about the Midwest towns like Detroit is all of the people who settled there and brought their cuisine from "Home"). There's a grocery store within a block that has everything you could want and when you need a night snack, 7-11 is right in the same building on the 1st floor. The view from the 7th floor was also amazing... the Historic Wayne County Building (built in 1895) is right across the street. The Renaissance Center 2 blocks down to the right, you can even see the Ontario Skyline across the river. I run in the morning and it's a 2 block walk down to the Riverwalk. From there you can head in either direction and go for miles, right along the river. If you're up to it, you can go all the way to Belle Isle and explore one of the few Public Park Islands on an international waterway! It's also a couple of blocks to historic Woodward Avenue. This place is a Gem and to top it off, they've kept it reasonable. Hats off to the owners of this one!!!!
