Summary: This property truly surpassed our expectations. We were a party of 7, ranging in age from 18 to 82, in from Cleveland, Baltimore, and England to attend my son’s graduation from OSU. Firstly, the location was amazing, a very short distance to the University, to the Short North Arts district, and German village. Parking was very easy on the street. Secondly, the bedrooms were amazing. There were four on the second floor, and one on the third floor, and all were very thoughtfully designed— very visually appealing, with luggage racks, tasteful artwork, and closets in all. Storage was great. The third floor, master suite allowed some privacy when you just need a moment. Thirdly, having three full bathrooms (one in the third floor master, one on the second floor, and one in the basement) was terrific for a party of our size. It was so nice for the kids not to have to share with the grandparents (or frankly, with us :) ). Everybody could get ready on time for events without waiting for the bathroom. Fourthly, the kitchen was very well set up, we cooked two full gourmet dinners while we were there, and the dining table seats eight, which frankly is hard to find in a rental home. Fifthly, there was nice outdoor space in the form of a front porch with comfortable chairs and a back patio (didn’t use that but looked nice). Finally, it was a very beautiful home, which might not mean much to some people, but which greatly added to our experience. Would give more stars !
