Extended Stay & Monthly Rentals in Detroit
Staying in Detroit for a few weeks or a few months? A furnished apartment beats a hotel on space, cost, and comfort — and you bo

Great Stays manages 100+ furnished properties across Detroit and Southeast Michigan, and a large share of our guests aren't here for a weekend — they're here for a work assignment, a relocation, a medical rotation, or a project that runs 30, 60, or 90 days. For stays like that, a hotel room stops making sense fast. A furnished apartment gives you a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, a real workspace, and room to actually live — usually at a flat monthly rate well below an equivalent hotel stretch.
Weekly, monthly, and long-term — whatever your stay looks like
- Weekly rentals — in town for a stretch of work or between homes? Several of our Detroit apartments take weekly bookings when availability allows.
- Monthly & mid-term rentals — our sweet spot. Furnished 30-, 60-, and 90-day stays with everything included in one payment. Our dedicated mid-term property, The Graduate, was set up for exactly this.
- Long stays (90+ days) — the longer you stay, the better the rate. Month-to-month flexibility if your plans shift.
Why a furnished rental beats an extended hotel stay
A business hotel can run well over $200 a night — past $6,000 a month — usually for one room with no kitchen. A furnished apartment changes the math: a full kitchen so you're not eating out every night, a separate living area, in-unit laundry, fast Wi-Fi, and utilities bundled into a single monthly payment that's simple to expense. And instead of living in a hotel corridor, you get to experience Detroit like a local — cook dinner, walk to your neighborhood coffee shop, and settle into a routine.

Best Detroit neighborhoods for a longer stay
Where to base yourself depends on why you're in town. (For the full picture, read our guide to where to stay in Detroit.)
- Midtown — walkable to the hospitals, Wayne State, and the city's best restaurants. The natural base for medical or university work.
- Brush Park — newer apartments steps from downtown and the arenas, quiet once the workday ends.
- Corktown — near Michigan Central and the west side, with the city's best food scene at your door.
- West Village — Detroit's most walkable neighborhood; for a month or more, it feels like living here, not visiting.
What's included
Every extended-stay apartment comes furnished top to bottom with a stocked kitchen, in-unit or on-site laundry, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a dedicated workspace. Utilities and Wi-Fi are bundled into one monthly payment. Most stays run on a 30-night minimum with month-to-month flexibility beyond that — if you need something shorter, just ask, we can often work with it. Parking varies by property, so confirm when you book if you're bringing a car.
