As my first AirBnB experience, I did not know what to expect, but I needed to find a place to stay for a month near OSU hospital for a visiting rotation:
Jerry's place was overall a very great value. In terms of convenience, it was only a few minutes (literally 3-5) drive from the Wexner Medical Center, OSU campus, a grocery store, and quite a few breweries and restaurants. There was always a parking spot available for me in his detached garage or on the street. The alleyways leading to the garage were, however, in pretty poor condition with trash, potholes and broken beer bottles that made navigating them an adventure. However, this is not an issue with this Jerry's house but more an issue with the city's upkeep of the alleys.
The house itself was very nice, with two full bathrooms, a full kitchen (with utensils, plates, bowels, pots/pans, and large refrigerator), and really nice washer/dryer set. There is also an ironing board with iron available in the kitchen. There are 2-3 large common areas with couches/chairs. The TV does not have cable but has Netflix, Amazon Video and Youtube all set up and ready to go. The friendly cleaning staff is also there almost every day making sure the place is kept looking nice and would address any specific issues raised either the same or the next day.
It should be stated that the house has 4 guest rooms on the 2nd floor and a large multi-guest room on the third floor. While some rooms had long term residents, other rooms had almost nightly turnover and some guests unfortunately couldn't be dependable not to come crashing into the house after midnight even during the week. Additionally, the more people on the wi-fi network, the less dependable it would become. However, it was typically pretty good. I still gave Jerry's house a 5-star rating even with some interrupted nights, because I booked knowing that I would have a private room in a shared house, and whenever there was a guest who was blatantly disrespectful (only happened twice in 4 weeks) Jerry would step in and contact that guest immediately via Airbnb.
That brings me to my final point. Jerry was overall an excellent host. He made the check-in/out process a breeze and would respond to my emails/texts within the hour, typically within 10 minutes. I would definitely recommend his house for short or long-term stays if you are okay with the shared aspect of the house. I certainly felt at home while I was there. I would stay at Jerry's Airbnb again if I were in the area.
