Thank you for the great review. Glad the location and short walk to the Cleveland Clinic worked well and that the host was fantastic. We appreciate you staying with us and would welcome you back.
I enjoyed my stay. Quaint up and down apartment style setup with full kitchen and one and a half baths. Metal circular staircase is not for those with movement limitations and accessing the stairs is a bit odd but great host and prices checking in. Walking distance to the urban kitchen across from the clinic for food. I would stay here again.
Kind of a cool place. Old Victorian mansion broken up into apartments. No complaints. Iām in my mid 50ās and thought the spiral staircase was easy enough to navigate. It was clean and comfortable enough. Shower was good. Had some trouble getting into my unit with the code, but the communication with property management was easy and I was quickly assisted. Building and neighborhood was quiet.

Thank you for the great review. Glad you enjoyed the unique Victorian setting and found the unit clean and comfortable. Good to hear the spiral staircase was manageable and the shower met your needs. Sorry for the trouble with the entry code, but glad our team got you checked in quickly. We appreciate you staying with us and would welcome you back.
Iāll start with the check-in process which supplied me with a code for my door that didnāt work. I was able to quickly communicate with the host and get a back up code that worked. The property was clean and the kitchen had most everything that you would need in the kitchen. I especially appreciated the supplied coffee creamer, and sweeteners. My only issue with the property was a spiral staircase going up to the bedroom. It was very narrow and I think carrying a suitcase upstairs wouldāve been a problem. I kept everything downstairs. I bumped my head on the corner of the steps a couple of times, would suggest some cushioning to avoid damage to someoneās head.I had a family member getting surgery at the Cleveland clinic and found that it was only a short walk to get there.
