The living room sofa had stains on the cushions, both bathroom toilet tissue holders were broke, the wall paper in the upstairs master bedroom was pealing, the floor throughout the house was not vacuumed, and the kitchen shelves appeared to have food crumbs on them. I communicated this to the individual assigned to my stay and the response was simply: "We didn't have a chance to get maintenence and upholstery cleaners in before your checkin". On Saturday morning (10/19/24), my guests woke up to mouse in their bed (upstairs master), seriously crawling up their legs. I contacted the management company (Elolve) and filed a complaint. After their "investigation", the response was simply: "We will be unable to provide any refund for this inconvenience". I highly suggest anyone to use caution when renting this property and any properties managed by Elolve. We have of be we're not sure what to do at this point. ##### kracunja Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Pamala E. Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Disappointed First thing: The lock is weird but I learned what to do to make it work. After getting the Lock Screen to light up, you will see only one or two numbers. Keep pressing the keypad until the complete key pad lights up. Then it will allow you to put in the code. Two good things about this listing. It is a cute house that was probably built during The height of Goodyear production. Secondly, the comforters are the best! Erica from Evolve was also kind, communicative, and intelligent enough to listen. Now what is terrible 1\. Local Evolve contact was a waste of a phone call and threatened me because she felt that “I didn’t respect her.” What!?!? I didn’t know she had accomplished so much that just the name Brittany should incite awe in me. 2\. Not enough towels so everyone could have one but then I realized that they left some in the dryer. 3\. No dish towels so we could do dishes. We had to purchase towels and dish cloths/tags. 4\. No toaster. Listing said there was one. 5\. Wall paper still peeling in upstairs bedroom. 6\. No salt or other deicer for steps 7\. Not conducive for anyone elderly but listing says it is. I’m 72 years old and would have broken my head if I didn’t have my kids looking after the steps. 8\. The outside trash can was full of bags of leaves. Didn’t know where to put our trash. 9\. No trash cans anywhere but kitchen. There are other listings in Akron with better amenities and easier entry. ##### Pamala E. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Dustin M.
