I believe this is our 4th stay at this property. It is just big enough for 2, and the location can’t be beat. Easy in and out with a code lock. Off street parking. Coffee maker, kettle, and mini fridge are nice to have available.

Third time staying here. Great location with off street parking. Walkable to everywhere in town and campus. Just big enough for 2 of us, and we appreciate having a coffee pot and kettle. Also, easy access with coded door lock.

Clean, comfortable, easy and great location. Everything worked while enough. Not fancy, but good. Highly recommend and at least $100 a night less than the hotel.

Return trip for me to visit my son. A small home away from home, ideal location near the Oberlin campus!

The rental was the perfect location for a visit to Oberlin as both the campus and downtown were within walking distance. Cute and clean place!

I could not have found a better place to stay while I was helping my son move into his college dorm. Clean, pleasant, and comfortable, the property is a stone's throw from the Oberlin campus.

This is reasonably priced place to stay overnight in Oberlin for at most two people. The lack of a kitchen and television options would keep me from staying here for an extended period, but it is a good place to sleep while in town for business.

Great spot to stay for a visit to an Obie. Right on the square, and walking distance to anywhere on the Oberlin campus. No kitchen included, but the rental is furnished with a toaster, coffee maker, and tea kettle. Would definitely stay here again!

A night in the space facilitated a stay at Oberlin to visit my niece. Charming details to make a college house feel cozy. Good use of space!

It wasn't quite what we expected. Kitchenette is a loose term. Most important for us was the coffee maker and grinder. Look for the refrigerator under the TV. The one thing to warn anyone short or a bit older is the clue foot tub. It would help if there was a stool and a rail to hold onto getting in and out of the tub.

Enjoyed being close to the College. All necessities met. The air conditioning was difficult to work with closing vents helped, but was a bit stuffy. The other problem was noise from the highway in front. Big, noisy semis were common, making it necessary to “hang out” inside. Not your fault, of course, but totally unexpected. Thanks for your clean house.

The “kitchenette” lacked even a tiny freezer space, there was no counter, and the bathroom had the only sink which was tiny. Impossible to leave dishes clean as a result. Host charged us an EXTRA fee because he thought we didn’t leave space tidy enough. We’ve stayed many places and have never had this experience before.

Stayed 2 nights in this property. Overall clean and stocked. Great location for visiting the college. Took property manager 12 hours to respond to an issue (messaged via app and text). Worked out OK as issue was small but disappointed that communication wasnt monitored knowing there were guests in the unit. Overall would stay again.

I really enjoyed the fun and cozy place! It had all the amenities needed and was a very easy half block to Oberlin campus and Tappan Square. Jake and Kaelia were kind and responsive hosts.

We stayed in Oberlin as a quick get away for my husbands birthday. I booked this suite to be close to downtown and for something different rather than being in an impersonal hotel. It did not disappoint! The place was clean and cozy! It was nice having a separate room from the bedroom - for those of us that are early risers and don’t want to disturb anyone!
The weather was cold and snowy so we were not able to enjoy the closeness that this place was to the downtown area but we do plan on coming back in the summer. Highly recommended!!
