House was centrally located for what we had planned for the evening. Easily Ubered to downtown. House was large enough to fit us all with large spacious rooms. Communication with Nick was great.

The property has a lot of potential and our family had a good time. But we had a difficult time with the lock and it wasn't fully clean. The beds and common areas were great for our family. There was easy access to downtown.

The stay was good, easy access to parks/beaches. Two of the beds were not stable to sleep on. Entry lock was not working. Host responses were not complete and in fact did not solve the issue of the entry lock.
Enjoyed our stay.Only complaint, really, was that one of the bunk bedrooms only exit was through the master bedroom. Not a big deal.Home is old, it well kept.
It is an older home with some small imperfections, but I think that only added to it's charm. The house is beautiful (the pictures don't do it justice) and had everything we needed. There was plenty of room for all of us. I would definitely stay here again.
All 5 stars. Host was excellent. Went out of the way to ensure our stay was perfect. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else but here if we are ever in the area again

Location
The location was convenient to everything! The neighborhood was safe, the house was very spacious! There were some opportunities in cleaning , i recommend deep cleaning days vs hours prior to the guest arrival
Overall we were satisfied
This house is absolutely great for multiple families or multi generations traveling together. We had 8 people and had beds and space left over. It was an absolute dream to make dinner and not worry about finding somewhere to eat out with 8 people after a long day.
We would stay again!
Spacious house with lots of beds, but be prepared for steep steps and an additional $20/ bed fee, read the details. It's conveniently located to the west end/Ohio City. At the time of our visit, the house was dirty; however, Nick the manager, was surprised to hear it as he said it's usually spotless.
The house was was nice and so comfy to stay in! We had a big group and the house had plenty of room to make it comfortable for all of us! The kids had such a fun time with the board games provided! The downstairs was a bit toasty at times, but didn’t impact our stay to make things super uncomfortable. We loved the big dining table that allowed for our group to have dinners together. The area was a bit dicey, but was worth it for the price and to be so close to downtown! Dennice (host) was quick to answer all of our questions and was very accommodating as well. We will definitely be booking this place if available when we come back next year!

Turned out to be only 4 adults. Inside of house was nice. Stairs to go upstairs were narrow a little hard for older adults. It was only 55 degrees when we arrived and it took a while for the house to warm up. Also the water was only Luke warm and after 2 people showered there was no hot water

Nice kitchen, but...
Convenient to Cleveland and the tourist stuff. Easy access to the freeways and major roads.
Communication with host was quick for the most part.
As others have mentioned, the stairs are difficult to manage, for even able-bodied folks. One set is really steep and narrow and step rise was inconsistent. The back stairs are wider, but have an odd turn at the top where the rise is much higher than the rest of the steps.
Being from the Cleveland area and in town for a funeral we needed a large space equipped for multiple generations and sleep 6 comfortably.
We understood this was an older house and knew it was going to have vintage charm. What we got was a “not ready for prime-time” rental.
If you’re looking for a rental to stay cool during 80+ degree days in Cleveland, this is NOT it. AC is iffy at best. Even though the nights were in the 60’s the humidity was so high it was uncomfortable to sleep. We bought box fans to help giving them to family when we left. .
There is NO storage in the bedrooms. Not a single dresser or "the like" to unpack our folded clothes.
BYOH. Bring Your Own Hangers. The bedrooms that HAD a closet didn’t have but a couple of hangers. And the largest bedroom had a closet without a rod, so hangers were a moot point.
At the end of the stay I was asked “if we could both give each others 5 stars.” I know we treated the house well and didn’t appreciate the “quid pro quo” feel to the ask.

Check-in was rough, the cooler was off and the upstairs was 90 degrees. Messaged the host, Nick, who told us where the thermostat was, but it was locked. He must have unlocked it remotely, but I’m assuming because he never answered. We left for dinner so it could have time to cool down but couldn’t get in upon returning because the batteries to the front door were dead. Host let us know there was a lock box with keys to another door. We had to figure out how to get the cover off to stop the constant beeping, and we never heard from the host again. The rest of the stay was fine. Plenty of room, clean. Though one of the showers only has hot water. The stairs inside are very shallow, so we had to be careful not to fall down them. There are another set of safer stairs on the other side of the home.
The property looks exactly like the pictures! It was nice and We do recommend! We had a couple of issues and Nick handled them quickly and efficiently! He was so easy to work with! As you get older you are not use to changes., he even answered our silly questions so quickly! The house is close to everything! Beach, zoo, downtown and even my daughters wedding and house! Thank you Nick!
