According to Allen's listing, the suite

"offers full privacy with its own entrance to a private bathroom, living room, kitchenette & bedroom separated from the rest of the home. Steps from Downtown, East Town, Wealthy District, Mary Free Bed, and St. Mary's Hospital."

There is a separate (second) floor of the home that Allen uses as a separate unit with tenants.

With reviews like these, it makes sense why Allen is the host of the year for Michigan.

Megan says

"The place was nice. Location is great. Worth noting that there is wall in the hallway/bathroom that's shared with the rest of the house and we heard the other people a bit. They weren't loud or anything. Just thin walls. With the price being comparable to a hotel, it's definitely worth considering when you book."

Jordan says,

"I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS PLACE! It's in the back of an old house so it has old house charm. Extremely clean, wonderfully decorated."

Among these winners,

  1. They have nearly 6,000 check-ins between the first and third quarters of 2022.
  2. 64 percent of them are women!
  3. 52 percent list their Airbnb in urban areas and 48 percent are in rural areas.
