This space I dedicated to my grandmother, and as such I decorated it in a style she would have loved. It is an ideal location for so much, it's within walking distance of some nightlife, stores, a movie theater and rec center.
- NO CLEANING FEES**
NOTE: this is part of an up / down duplex and as such sound transfers. We have quiet hours and request guests show respect, but it is not perfect.
This Old House was built in 1897 and is a completely remodeled duplex with both spaces being available to rent. As with the Entertainment Suite, the spacious Lofty suite is in an ideal location, within walking distance of many Massillon treasures (see neighborhood details). It also offers treasures of its own, being tastefully decorated with a bit of old world charm.
Immediately upon entry you will climb a flight of steps to access the suite, which includes one bedroom with a Queen bed and a bunk bed (lower bed is Full sized and upper bed is Twin). Then you enter the living room to access the kitchen, bath and Washer / Dryer.
We hope to host you soon!
Guests have access to the upstairs apartment.
I currently reside in the area. I am available at any point and can respond fairly quickly, but I also know guests want space, so interaction is minimal.

Nice place to just get away. A little tough to find when you are in traffic and have to keep moving. It is not a really busy area most of the time but within 5 minutes of food and entertainment. Host was really nice and responded quickly to messages.
Perfect for small family. Everything was pictured accurately and the location is conveniently located near downtown. The host was very friendly and provided prompt responses. We rented the unit the day before check-in and she graciously allowed us to check in early. They offered recommendations for restaraunts and things to do. The queen bed frames needed to be more sturdy to better support my 180 lbs and my husband's 255 lbs

We really appreciate the feedback and you were great guests!
We did end up replacing the bed frame, I'm just sorry that it did not arrive in time for your stay :(
You are welcome back anytime.
