We had excellent communication with our hosts! They offered daily check-ins with us (via text) and recommended coffee roasters we could visit!
The place was sparkling clean!
We really loved the French press, electric kettle and fresh coffee beans to grind ourselves! We get too busy to use ours at home sometimes so vacation was the perfect time to enjoy it again. If you're a traditional coffeepot family, you may be disappointed at first! But try it! It's amazing.
A few snacks, other beverages and chocolates were also provided for our enjoyment which was a nice personal touch!
The bed was super comfortable (think thick memory foam) so we got great sleep! Others have mentioned that you can hear sounds from the home above, but it did not disrupt our stay!
We had a five-day stay so the single dresser and small closet were maxed out, but sufficient.
If you are travelling with someone other than family, you will want to keep in mind that the single bed is located in the entry way and the unusual layout of the apt. would not provide for much privacy for someone staying in that "room". It didn't affect the two of us at all, but could be a good set-up for a child travelling with parents.
The main family room area was super roomy and the fireplace kept it very cozy for us when the outside temps were in the 30's!
The only issue we had during our entire stay was that the Internet had trouble streaming. We had delays and buffering interruptions almost every time we turned on the TV! This may have been caused by the rainy weather we experienced while in Columbus?!
All-in-all, we would recommend this lower-level stay to you! Be sure to enjoy the beautiful, lush backyard and absolutely lovely neighborhood, too!
