Lovely time here! This house was roomy and accommodating for 8 adults and 3 children. Updated & a big kitchen was great for cooking family dinners every night. We were a short 10-15 minute drive from COSI, grocery stores, endless coffee shops, restaurants, and German village. There was plenty to do. The neighborhood felt safe & was quiet enough with the fire station right across the street. Parking the cars on the street out front or in the garage out back was convenient. The fire pit in the backyard was nice for after dinner s’mores & drinks. Appliances were modern. Beds were very comfortable and we had plenty of pillows. The heated floor in the master bathroom was a welcomed surprise!
Cons: While the backyard was fenced in & private, we would recommend being cautious with little ones outside. Three children (ages 2-4) were with us. As children do, they would pick at rocks and bugs in the grass. Throughout our stay they brought us 2 rusty nails and glass that they had found just off the patio in the grass. I’m sure the home being renovated next door with the dumpster along the fence had a lot to do with that, but these items were quickly taken away. Supervise closely! The backyard furniture was also quite dirty, stained, and chair cushions significantly ripped. The ping pong table also looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a few months, if that’s important to anyone. We only wanted to mention these things since it seemed a bit silly to state in the house rules that towels/washcloths stained from makeup removal would be charged to renters when the outdoor area was in disarray. Don’t let this discourage you though!
Overall, we had a nice time and would stay here again for the price & location to things. Jared was very easy to reach through messages and checked in on us after arrival. He’s a great host!!
