Cozy, Convenient Getaway 3Bd2Ba dog-friendly home in wonderful Akron, OH

I recently stayed here for my daughter's graduation at Kent State University. The home was decorated so nicely! It was well-equipped with toiletries and had a small coffee bar area. Additionally, there was a wonderful Italian market just a minute's walk from the house. I would definitely recommend this place for a stay.

Awesome place and easy host! Thanks for the stay

We needed a cozy spot on the north side of Akron for our cousin’s wedding and the location was perfect for our needs. The bedrooms were large and the beds were comfy. Having off street parking was handy due to a bit of snow. We appreciated that the owner had kept some of the original features and beautiful woodwork of the original home.

The house is in significant disrepair. Kitchen window is falling off the frame, won’t close or lock. Another 1st floor window only locked at one end, easily pushed open. The latch just won’t catch. Front door locks but the wood is rotted, barely attached. Broken smoke detector. Rusted vent cover falling off the wall. Electrical outlets are poorly installed…etc. We did not feel safe there and left within a few hours. The house was also not super clean and smelled like a dirty dog. I’ve stayed in old houses, I don’t expect everything updated but windows that lock are non negotiable. VRBO was not helpful when we could not reach the host (it was after 10pm). Host finally replied to messages by 2pm the next day and said he would refund only my first night because we should have called at 7pm when the first guest arrived and he would have sent cleaners out. My daughter dropped her bags off at 7, and went to dinner. She was exhausted from driving, so decided to wait for me to deal with the house as I had rented it. How would a cleaning crew make this home safe in a few hours? Replace broken windows? We had to get hotel rooms for 6 people last minute which was a huge expense. Could be a great house with some care and repairs. I’m disappointed at host response.

Convenient location, lots of space, friendly and attentive host! Would definitely recommend!

The property was just what we needed for our overnight stay. The only issue was the thermostat batteries were dead, it was 11pm when we contacted the host, Carmen replied promptly and Mike followed up with a phone call. We ended up removing batteries from the AC remote and put them in the thermostat. Who would have thought heat would be necessary in August.

Perfect landing pad for seeing concerts at Blossom and in Cleveland! We especially appreciated the air conditioning given the heat and humidity when we were in town.

WHOLE house to ourselves with the cutest decorations. We had plenty of space and bathrooms for our family of four.

Overall it was good. I had trouble getting into house with code. Owner responded quickly. I had a few other questions with no response. No dish cloth for kitchen or dish drainer. We only used two cups and didn’t want to run dishwasher for so little dishes. Instructions for check out via email versus what is on counter have some discrepancies as to where to leave towels and garbage. It would have made the stay nicer if there were chairs on the porch to sit on and if the porch was a little more tidy/clean.

We only stayed for one night.. so not a lot went on for me to be able to give it a good or bad review…

We enjoyed our long weekend in this quiet neighborhood house. Loved the Italian grocery just down the street. Location was fairly close to highway for easy access to Cleveland and Cuyahoga Valley NP.

Was a comfortable stay; host was responsive to a couple of early concerns. Would stay again.

This property was close to all the fun things!

This house was everything our family needed . We had six adults and two children’s . They took great care to make sure they had little extras to make visiting family a great experience! They had a cute little coffee bar , lots of games for the kids to play. We would recommend this house tucked in a quiet neighborhood for any stay!

We enjoyed our stay here. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. We'd stay again for sure

Good location to explore the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and quick visit to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
