This property was a great fit for our girls trip, and had plenty of well-appointed bedrooms and bathrooms that made sharing the space really easy and comfortable. We loved the unique decor and beautiful woodwork of the space and especially enjoyed the large dining room and living room. The location is off of a busy road, which is the only drawback but it is so close to everything you could want or need in Akron, so nothing to be concerned about at all. This would be a good space for a friend group or large family!

The property was absolutely amazing. From the front porch to the top floor, everything was historic and beautiful. There were so many lovely details. We originally booked this home because of the size, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that we had booked a gem. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. The home was stocked with all of the essentials and even a few extras. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely stay again.

If you're looking for a clean, classic place to stay, this home won’t disappoint. It’s ideally located near downtown and the University of Akron, with a short drive to all the surrounding suburbs. I would stay again.
