About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Historic, creative, close to downtown!

Historic, creative, close to downtown! Set aside day-to-day distractions to focus on writing or to simply relax. Grab a book from the library to read on a blue velvet sofa or in the backyard with the birds under the maple and walnut trees.

The kitchen has a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator. and the pantry is stocked with dishes, pots, and pans, and a range of utensils for cooking or baking. There are two coffee makers: a single cup Keurig and OXO for larger pots.

There are several local coffee shops nearby if you prefer an active environment. But when you're ready to lay out materials on an inspiring desk, we have two! One is walnut with lyres carved into the base and a surface inlaid with sheet music. The other is Victorian walnut with a solid pull-out surface and many drawers and compartments. In the drawers, you'll find paper and pens. Each bedroom has a desk and a view of a red brick church through the pine branches. There are several lighting options, outlets for your laptop, and free wifi.

No parties. Please do not disturb the tenants next door. They have a gentle, friendly older dog who does not bark but may pop out in the yard with her owner.

The TV in the living room that has streaming apps. The house has a security system and we live about a mile away should you need anything.

A beautifully decorated and comfortable book oasis. We can tell the backyard is probably beautiful in the summertime, with tall privacy fencing on both sides (nice with neighboring homes so close).Our legs/knees were not fans of the steep stairs with bathroom downstairs and bedrooms upstairs, but that’s an age/body thing and it was fine.

Great host who was very responsive and accommodating when we were arriving a little earlier than expected. Home was great for our stay with so many old books to look at! Only thing that was not good was the neighborhood was rather noisy at night with people yelling in the streets and some louder than normal city traffic noise. House and host were amazing though!

Ours was a four-day weekend at Constantine's Vrbo - a wonderfully cozy place. Books and fun art galore; who wouldn't love the 88 keys above the fireplace? We ate out most of our stay, but the two meals we opted in, the kitchen wanted for nothing, in our opinion. On-street parking was simple. Easily navigable to Short North, museums, botanical gardens.We will be return customers.
Love the fun decor!

Nice location, had everything we needed. Good home base for State Fair, Franklin Park Conservatory and the Irish Festival. The steps are steep to the two bedrooms. The bathroom is on the first floor. It can be tricky for folks that are physically challenged. We enjoyed the back yard also. All went well for us.

Cute and comfy

Everything was just as expected! The description of the house was spot on. Very clean, had everything you would need as far as towels, utensils, etc... Communication with the host was excellent! I am not familiar with the area, and thought the neighborhood was going to be a little more upscale/historic, but the location in proximity to what we wanted to do/see while in town was perfect! Sitting in the backyard/patio area having coffee in the morning was lovely! It was a nice stay, and the beds were very comfortable!
