Old but ok

This house is dingy and dirty. Cracks in the ceiling, paint chipping, one room had a large hole in the wall covered with a blanket, the floor was warped in multiple places. Bathroom door could only close with a hook latch that still didn’t close it all the way. The listing details are incorrect. This house does NOT have a queen bed, 2 twin bunk beds, and a twin bed. It has a FULL bed, 2 FULL bunk beds, and a twin bed. My wife and I had to sleep separately because of this. The bunk beds were extremely squeaky and severely unstable. We didn’t feel comfortable letting kids on the top bunks at all. Very unsafe. None of the TV remotes worked. No smoke detectors anywhere downstairs. Upper half of the duplex had a smoke alarm beeping entire first night that was very loud downstairs. Housekeeper came to fix those things but was still in the house at nearly 3pm after she said she was coming at 9:45am. In the end, I still had to connect my phone and my own Amazon account to get the TV to work. Bedroom TV worked for an evening but would not work the next day. There are nowhere near enough dishes for the number of people that could stay here. Booking was simple, location was decent, and the owner was quickly responsive to fix smoke detector and TV remotes. The housekeeper just didn’t know how to get it to work properly and I had to do it myself. Still never worked fully. Overall, you get what you pay for with these cheap listings. Would not recommend.

Our recent experience with this VRBO property was nothing short of a nightmare. Right from the beginning, our stay was marred by issues. The water wasn't working upon our arrival, leading to a delayed check-in. While this wasn't the host's fault, attempting to contact Nick to discuss the situation proved futile. We had to involve VRBO, who eventually reached out to him. Upon finally arriving at the property, we were greeted by a rather unsettling neighborhood with boarded-up buildings and a menacing dog across the street. The actual condition of the house was a stark contrast to the photos provided; it was run-down and far from the advertised presentation. Safety was a major concern as we discovered soft floors, only one smoke detector in the entire house, and an overall lack of cleanliness. To our shock, a massive hole in the wall of the back bedroom was concealed by a large blanket. Additionally, it's worth noting that Nick violated VRBO rules by directly contacting us on our personal cell phone numbers. In light of these issues, we made the difficult decision to leave the property after a mere 10 minutes. Attempts to obtain a refund were unsuccessful, adding further frustration to an already unpleasant experience. In summary, this VRBO listing fell far short of expectations, and I would strongly caution anyone considering a stay here.

With the holiday season in full blast and a nice snow fall it was great being at Nick's before I went back home... Quite neighborhood house was very roomie 5 stars all around

I'm in Cleveland for the season hosting the holidays trolley. Since day one Nick provided everything I needed even the things I didn't. He went up and beyond the hospitality rating. I definitely will book again.. location is quite. Thanks Nick!!

There were holes in all the walls.The house was not equipped with the necessary stuff such as glassware in the kitchen,limited pots and pans,1 bath towel for the entire place.

The interior was to be kind,shabby, the one bed was like sleeping in a canoe. The neighborhood was scary and decrepit. From what was posted describing it to what it actually was couldn’t be further opposites. I’ll never darken your door way again, but I do thank you for the port in the storm!

I walked in and walked out five minutes later…we could not stay there. Gnats flying around im the bathroom, tub not clean paint chipping all around the tub, furniture does not look sanitary , bed in back room looks like someone just got out of it, none of the linens in the house is clean, floor felt unsafe and unstable, stains all over the living room chairs and couches Toilet tissue stuck im one of the doors instead of a doorknob Didn’t smell clean at all…. Kitchen not sanitary Dont know what was in the air but my face broke out IMMEDIATELY! Im sorry but I could not stay there. I am requesting a full refund Nothing about this place matched the descriptions or the pictures. They have been altered This place is like a group recovery home…VRBO should take this listing down and ban this home from ever being rented Needs a bullzozer Even the customer service rep I spoke to was sickened by the pics and descriptions but unfortunately, nothing could be done at the time. I had to drive TWO HOURS to my sister’s home in another state in order to have lodging before heading back home to Chicago… We were certainly fearful of our health and safety

The property for the most part is as advertised and the price was very reasonable for a quick stay. I appreciate the ownership for solid communication and being accommodating of my fluid situation. They were very responsive.

This lower level duplex home was close to lots of great things. Neighborhood was quiet. Host communicated quickly and thoughtfully. Nice place to sit outside in front. Impressive with 3 bedrooms. Easy door code check in. Clean place. Even had some board games to play.

This is THE WORST rental experience I’ve had in my life and my first experience with Vrbo. The place was not cleaned, washroom tub and kitchen was a mess (stove, cooker, sink, fridge) even though we were charged cleaning fee that was same as listing price for 3 days. The floors were a dangerous tripping hazard and glued to carpet with some places sticking up and there was a live roach in one of the rooms as soon as we got in. I got there with my young children around 9.30pm and had to leave around an hour and half later.We called the host to complain but got an answering service line. Vrbo could not reach the host as well yet they said there was nothing they could do. Had to check my family into a hotel around midnight. We sent photos and videos evidence and the host via email because they claimed that they did not get any from vrbo (this on Vrbo’s advice). Initially the host agreed to refund, then later the host refused to refund claiming nothing was wrong with the house. Vrbo said we are at the mercy of the host even when evidence was provided. Host claimed they had a cleaner who cleaned the place but that wasn’t true (if you check other reviews, this is a clear pattern) and host won’t do anything because they know VRBO will let them get away with it. If you don’t mind staying with young children in a dump or throwing money down the drain, then by all means go ahead. If you can afford incurring medical expenses, ignore this. This was a fraudulent listing &a nightmare

This property did indeed have a lot of beds, gross stained, horrible, smelling beds. The kitchen area was uncleaned. All surfaces had a gritty sticky feel to them. The floors were falling apart. The shower curtain in the bathroom had mold on it as well as the tubs surrounding area. All of the furniture was stained and had a pungent odor. I would definitely not recommend this property to anyone. tried to communicate with the owner they were supposed to contact me in regards to the property and its conditions, and they never did. But they definitely didn’t have a problem charging for the stay when I didn’t stay.

Clean, easy to get to.

Highlight of property: Awesome, private front patio that included a table to relax and a mature plant to cover viewing from outside onlookers! It was exactly as listed. No issues or problems. It is located on the west side of Cleveland, approx 10 min drive to Downtown or Lakewood. Priced right. It’s not a luxurious location, but sufficient for our friends weekend outage to get to our music venues and easily accessible by vehicle/Uber to other touristy areas. Minimalist but affordable, clean, and plenty of space for guests. Thanks!

Pretty easy to get to and great location for travelling to downtown and/or Edgewater park. The only downside is having to share the driveway with the residents of the other side of the duplex.

It was a good spot to crash for the Blink-182 concert. There was a full coffee pot when I got there and I don’t know how long it was sitting there. The house has a lot of history and room for sleeping. The neighbors were nice but the crime statistics of the area aren’t that great. The house is secured though and there were kids playing in the street, so we felt ok. Very comfy bunk beds.

I loved this place! Really clean and nice. Lots of room for everyone to sleep and was close to downtown! I would definitely recommend and 100% would stay again

This was my first time using VRBO & this was a really good first experience. Owner was quick with responses… place just as pictured & the only bad thing was there wasn’t hand Soap in the bathroom

We left and went to a hotel. Dirty linens and towels on the floor, muddy footprints in the tub, and no refund as of yet.

When I arrived there were dirty clothes, diapers, and garbage under beds and dressers. Under one dresser were two small, clear bags with white powder residue in them. In the broken desk drawer, my eleven year old found a plate with white powder residue and two small straws on it. In the back bedroom there was pet hair on the rug, play-doh and other debris under the bed. The upstairs guests were partying and being very loud well after 1 am. Property owners were not responsive. The floors are dirty, wood laminate over carpet and therefore uneven and coming up. The neighborhood was loud and sketchy. Despite all this, no refund from property owner. I still had to pay a cleaning fee on top of all that.

I was told to be able to get in at 1 when I got there is was not ready the lock of the door was missing. I was not able to stay there I am trying to get my money back it was not safe and it was nasty I had sent photos and emails no one is responding I need someone to help me.

The overall experience was nice, however saturday night the upstairs guest “hosted” a party that lasted until around 3am. No loud music but lots of shouting, running in and out of the house and banging on the doors that i assume connect to the hallway with the stairs. Kept my 2 year old up

THERE ARE SOMETHINGS THAT NEEDS ATTENTION, OVERALL I ENJOYED MY STAY

Rules if the home are very clear. I didn’t feel bugged or watched. Renter reached out to check on me. Driveway accessible. Would stay again in the future.

My friends and I needed a close place to Ray's Indoor Mtb Park to crash after a day of riding. Location was only a few minutes away, check in was straightforward. The TV had Netflix, the book with suggestions for places to eat was appreciated as was the coffee next morning. I knocked off a few cleanliness stars for the sheets that were not all clean. As I saw in another review the bathroom door handle doesn't work very well inside the bathroom and should be addressed. Neighborhood is super quiet. Overall good stay.

House was very cute and had more than enough room for the two of us. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The neighborhood was awesome and quiet. House is located very close to anything you would want to see in Cleveland and surrounding areas. All in all it was a great place to stay. We will be returning here on our next stay in Cleveland.

Unfortunately this potential goes unfulfilled. The host was super nice and very quick to respond. We had some trouble with the automated VRBO emails not being sent for address, so that's not reflected in this review. More than a few items stood out in our stay. A lot of things in the kitchen were out of order, the floor seemed to be sagging quite a bit judging by the lack of square door frames, the refrigerator was on a 5 degree tilt or so, the cabinetry was in varying stages of disrepair. We ended up washing most of the dishes before using them because they did not appear clean. We didn't find any pepper in the shaker, no napkins or paper towels to be found, no soap in the bathroom (as was claimed in the listing) and the TV remote batteries were dead. We had to unplug the USB lights behind the TV because they were so bright into the bedroom. There were not enough blankets for the beds, and the bunk beds were so cheap they flexed badly when ever the person on either bunk moved. They are pretty hazardous. The flooring was thrown together haphazardly as well, it was tongue and groove laminate on top of carpet that someone chose not to remove so all of the slats are all coming apart and there's a pretty substantial floor height discrepancy at the bathroom door threshold. The shower curtain in the bathroom is pretty light duty but gets the job done, the bathroom just did not seem to be entirely clean which was really off putting. Finally the house is pretty poorly insulated and the smart thermostat kept turning the heat down on us so we ended up being pretty chilly most of the time as the thermostat temperature did not reflect the whole house temperature. Ultimately, for the price, this was a fine stay for us. I think this host has great potential for a really strong listing that could fetch more money but there are a lot of items that desperately need to be addressed before continuing to rent. Dennice is super nice and responsive. We didn't present her with the issues we had during our stay, as not to be a burden. But we really just needed a place to sleep so our expectations were low.

The space was okay

Plenty of seating for hanging out - older house with older bathroom and kitchen. Overall pleasant stay!

Everything that was promised we had we are happy and next time we’ll try to rent the same place

Worked well for us. Just needed a place to sleep. I was a little nervous with the neighborhood; however, we had no issues.

Bunk beds we're extremely unstable. Couldn't use the tops because no one felt comfortable sleeping up there. If you laid on the bottom it the whole bunk bed moved and made a sound. The host did answer all my messages in a timely matter. I laid on the sofa and woke up with bumps on my stomach. Living room and other sitting area furniture looked old and had stains. Kitchen and bathroom was clean. I end up leaving a few hours before check out.
