Older neighborhood in Dayton, but safe with street parking. House was clean, kitchen and 2 baths were completely renovated with new fixtures, appliances, flooring and furniture. Hvac was great although new thermostst was a challenge for a senior. Coffee shop teo blocks away, try it.

Charming Historical Home

The property was spacious, comfortable, neat and tidy. Appreciated the ample supply of towels and coffee. However, we noticed the last three treads of the stairsteps are in need of repair and suggest that the property owner give this matter some attention. All in all, we were very satisfied with our stay. It is a lovely home.
