The house was very clean, immaculate really. We had a few issues but they were quickly responded to by the host. A few things about the house I personally didnt like, but others may not mind:No curtains, just cheap mini blinds, even in bedroomsBathrooms had no heat vent so they were freezingNo TVs in the bedrooms, just 1 TV for the whole house. Seating in the living room was cheap and uncomfortable. And barely fit 4 adults. The house is quaint and the rooms are small, but I think with a little rearranging and better suited furniture it could work. No pictures on the walls, very sterile. Like I said, some people may like that lool, it just wasnt very cozy and this cute, quirky house could be made to be very welcoming for not too much investment. At the end of the day, its a rental so I get it, I am just explaining why only 4 stars and not 5.

Excellent convenient location for Buckeye-themed Labor Day weekend with 3 over 50 couples. Very clean with timely host communications. Proximity to brewery, market, and newer coffee shop was perfect, plus nice sunny walks in park to start and end the day. A number of smaller amenities recommended separately to host will make this even better, and doing the dishes was kind of novel.

New renter learning the ropes
Overall, I think this home will be a great place to rent. We were the first tenants and the home needs a few fixes to be truly great. Rather then give a bad review, we sent all our issues to the property owner who worked very hard to address issues. She even refunded a portion of our stay for our help. Was the stay perfect? No. Will I book this home for our trip next year? Yes!
