The listing states that it sleeps 6 people but it does not. There is only 1 bed and 1 futon. It sleeps 3 people at the most.

Cute apartment in the short north

Apartment is accurately shown in the listing and the owner was phenomenal in their response when the door code did not work. But four things to note: 1. The bathroom is older and fixtures worn. Still works and was very clean. 2. Exterior entrance to the building is between two smoke shops and had homeless people blocking it when I arrived. Leaving in the morning I stepped through trash and broken glass from someone’s meal. 3. Owner has really considerate additions to the flat to help visitors deal with noise from the bustle and energy of the Short North. After you’re done enjoying the area for dinner and shopping, you have fans, earplugs and a white noise machine to help you leave it behind and get a good night’s sleep. 4. The free included parking is permit controlled on-street parking. If you are not comfortable leaving your vehicle on the street in the neighborhood (I wasn’t) there are several parking garages within a 10-min walk that are more secure (for a price).

Hey Elisha! Thanks for the detailed review! We’re glad you enjoyed the apartment and found the additions to help with the noise helpful 🌿😊 I truly appreciate your feedback on the bathroom, the exterior, and parking—it helps us improve the experience for future guests. I’m happy to hear you felt well taken care of and that we could assist when the door code didn’t work. We’d love to host you again anytime!

Great place. Good price. There was a lot of communication with the host, which was a little much for me, as someone with autism who prefers minimal interaction.
