*MUST BE VACCINATED - NO EXCEPTIONS*

*Please note: Since my projects and timing are always changing, I'm unable to confirm any guests far in advance and prefer people contact me less than a month out of their requested arrival time

I'm a 41-year-old woman with a passion for old architecture, travel, theater and the city of Detroit!

I'm renovating a 1909 historic home and always looking for support for other tasks in my home! My home has a variety of frequently-changing needs, which generally includes organization/decluttering, yard tasks, cleaning and general home upkeep.

CONDUCT: Workawayers must be sober while inside of my house. While I don't mind if you have a couple of drinks, it is absolutely not acceptable to be drunk or under any other substances while here. This is for the protection of myself and my housemates, not to mention all the hard work and money that has been invested in this house.

I know the city well and am an excellent tour guide! I can take you to the coolest parts of Detroit and help you navigate the city to make the best of your time here. I am also very well-connected here, so if there's something you're particularly interested in (art, architecture, history, jobs, etc.) I can probably connect you with someone.

You may also have the opportunity to expand or improve upon your home skills!

Detroit is changing rapidly, and the energy here is amazing!

The city has beautiful historic architecture, as well as great museums like the Detroit Institute of Art, the Motown Museum and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History. Detroit is also about 45 minutes away from Ann Arbor, a great day trip-worthy college town.

Detroit has limited transportation, so having your own car would be ideal (street parking is available). A bike would also be great and could take you to the QLine that goes through downtown.

Lifestyle: I am fairly straight edge, so absolutely no drugs or smoking at my house or excessive partying. I also have a fairly quiet lifestyle. Mostly looking for basic consideration and manners :).

I love singing, dancing, theater, karaoke, bonfires and board games, so let me know if you're down for any of these things :).

I am open to hosting well-behaved dogs, but sorry, no cats.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Workaway-Mitglied)

Irie was a great help while she was here. I was unfortunately sick during her stay and wasn't able to work with her or get her started on any renovation projects, but she was very proactive and found things to do, like cooking and cleaning, which was greatly appreciated while I was sick. She's also a very friendly, sweet person and easy to get … read more

I loved the care she put into it, as well as her little baby moose, he is a very loving dog. I also enjoyed that she trusted … read more

Simon was great! He learned quickly and was a hard worker. I really appreciated him being flexible with his schedule so we could make my renovation deadline and also sharing his van so we could pick up furniture (HUGE bonus!). He's a nice person and was also a very respectful house guest.

Vom Workawayer (Simon) für Host

Staying with Erica was a great first workaway. The work was relatively easy and flexible. Erica's instructions were always clear and she was happy to elaborate. She put up with my sleep schedule and I could come and go as I wanted. Her home is very cute, as is her little dog (do not give him any treats though, he won't leave your side anymore). We … read more

Erica is very generous with her space and there wasn't a moment when I felt uneasy or out of sorts within it. She and her helpers have been doing a great job restoring that wonderful house and though all she was up for during the brief time I had available was a little purging and organizing, it was great to play even a small part in the process. … read more

Kimber was great! She stayed with me about a week and helped me to organize the mess that had been accumulating in my storage and tool rooms. I wasn't able to work with her as much as I would have liked to, and she took initiative to take care of things on her own, which I really appreciated. She was also very patient when we had a brief power … read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Abby)

Abby was fantastic! She helped me restore the woodwork in my entry way. She learned fast, and soon I completely trusted her to work on her own unsupervised. She's also very easy to get along with, very kind, very funny and both she and my roommate enjoyed having her around. Definitely recommend!

Yosef was very helpful during the few weeks he stayed with me. He had a particularly boring job sanding doors, but he never complained and did good work. He's a nice person and easy to get along with, I also appreciated him helping take care of my dog :).

I had such a good time at Erica's household situated in the heart of Detroit! The location was amazing and you can easily get around and explore the city!

The work I had been doing was nice and straightforward but rewarding. I was mainly stripping paint but it was nice to see the before and after results. Also the work hours were really flexible … read more

Rachel was great! She was only here for a few days, but in that time helped me with some major insulation issues in my house, including making interior storm windows for the dining room. She also did a number of smaller projects, like assembling a coat rack, fixing a loose door knob, unclogging the sink and adjusting some outlets. She's also a … read more

Brenda and Charles were great! They stayed with me for 2.5 weeks and accomplished so much, including fixing some electrical work, hanging doors, staining trim, general finishing work, organizing and more. Both are very proactive, which was great when I was pulled away a lot for work and couldn't often be on-site to help or supervise. They're also … read more

We stayed with Erica for a little over two weeks, helping out with her 110-year-old house restoration project. It's not easy bringing a family of four into a construction zone, but Erica scrambled and managed to clear three rooms for us! Our accommodations were very comfortable. During our time there, we did a little of everything just as … read more

Sai was a great help! Even though he lived nearby, he wanted to stay with me to try new experience. He helped me in the evenings and weekends (working around his full-time job!) and even came back to help after he went home. During the two weeks he was here, we learned together how to re-install old windows and assemble furniture, which was a huge … read more

It was an excellent experience from every point of view. First Erica (the host) welcomes you very well and makes the stay very pleasant, the house is huge and has many things to do. Second, both work together and gives you a hand in what you need since she knows what she does and wants with the house. Third, in your free time you can go out to … read more

I stayed a month with Erica in 2018. We worked well together on her various projects and made some major progress.

There is an endless amount of work to be done, but she will feed you well and appreciate the work you do. The area of the … read more
