Another great stay

I believe this is our 4th stay at this property. It is just big enough for 2, and the location can’t be beat. Easy in and out with a code lock. Off street parking. Coffee maker, kettle, and mini fridge are nice to have available.

Third time staying here. Great location with off street parking. Walkable to everywhere in town and campus. Just big enough for 2 of us, and we appreciate having a coffee pot and kettle. Also, easy access with coded door lock.

Clean, comfortable, easy and great location. Everything worked while enough. Not fancy, but good. Highly recommend and at least $100 a night less than the hotel.

Perfect Location

I could not have found a better place to stay while I was helping my son move into his college dorm. Clean, pleasant, and comfortable, the property is a stone's throw from the Oberlin campus.

Good basic accommodations

This is reasonably priced place to stay overnight in Oberlin for at most two people. The lack of a kitchen and television options would keep me from staying here for an extended period, but it is a good place to sleep while in town for business.

Cute Studio right near Oberlin

Great spot to stay for a visit to an Obie. Right on the square, and walking distance to anywhere on the Oberlin campus. No kitchen included, but the rental is furnished with a toaster, coffee maker, and tea kettle. Would definitely stay here again!

Think poor art student abode

It wasn't quite what we expected. Kitchenette is a loose term. Most important for us was the coffee maker and grinder. Look for the refrigerator under the TV. The one thing to warn anyone short or a bit older is the clue foot tub. It would help if there was a stool and a rail to hold onto getting in and out of the tub.

Very convenient to College

Enjoyed being close to the College. All necessities met. The air conditioning was difficult to work with closing vents helped, but was a bit stuffy. The other problem was noise from the highway in front. Big, noisy semis were common, making it necessary to “hang out” inside. Not your fault, of course, but totally unexpected. Thanks for your clean house.

Disappointed

The “kitchenette” lacked even a tiny freezer space, there was no counter, and the bathroom had the only sink which was tiny. Impossible to leave dishes clean as a result. Host charged us an EXTRA fee because he thought we didn’t leave space tidy enough. We’ve stayed many places and have never had this experience before.

Convenient and clean

Stayed 2 nights in this property. Overall clean and stocked. Great location for visiting the college. Took property manager 12 hours to respond to an issue (messaged via app and text). Worked out OK as issue was small but disappointed that communication wasnt monitored knowing there were guests in the unit. Overall would stay again.

Cozy place, steps from center of Oberlin

I really enjoyed the fun and cozy place! It had all the amenities needed and was a very easy half block to Oberlin campus and Tappan Square. Jake and Kaelia were kind and responsive hosts.
