Our reservation was for 6. I guess the couch is included as a bed since it sleeps 5. Some improvements...get more glasses blankets towels and have a couple .more necessities besides salt and pepper. The outside patio was pretty treacherous so some even pavement would be great for your future guests. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martha M.

The nearby park was the perfect spot to walk over, cooking in or ordering out were also great options. Communication with the owner was thorough, timely and I knew if we ran into any issues (we didn't) that he'd be responsive. Will book again in the future! ##### Martha M. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Vicki S. Dec 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious, clean home in a safe, convenient neighborhood Evan was a kind, communicative host. We enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. Very close to downtown Akron so it was convenient.The following is a comment for all owners and for VRBO in general. We do not think it's fair for owners to request that guests strip the beds and take out the trash. Most places are fairly expensive as it is, and hotels don't ask for clean-up at check-out. We agree that we should clean the dishes we used, but paying to rent a space should include cleaning it afterward, including bedding and trash. We'd love to see owners stop requesting this as it's burdensome when you're just trying to pack up and leave.Otherwise, we had a lovely stay and we would recommend Evan's space! ##### Vicki S.
