Great Place
We were in town for the wedding of my son. The house was in a quiet neighborhood and was spacious enough for six adults. The basement bathroom made our stay much easier with so many getting ready every day. The house was very clean and nicely decorated . The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds and pillows were comfortable as well. I highly recommend!!!

Italian Fest
This house was perfect for my family. The 4 bedrooms were great, the trundle bed worked for the 4 yr/old and the pack n play for the 8month old. The basement bathroom room was really great for us. Very nice neighbors and neighbor hood. When we come back to visit we will try to stay there again. The house was very clean and had great supplies. Thank You!!!

Great home to stay for the weekend
My daughter was getting married at Fellows Riverside Gardens, an hour away from our home, so we rented this home for the bridal party to stay and get ready for the Sunday morning wedding, since the house was less than 10 minutes away from the Gardens. The house was great for this! Plenty of beds for the bridal party of six to sleep, and for all us us to get ready in the morning. The house was really clean and comfortable, and we even had some snacks to greet us! If we ever need to stay in Youngstown again, I would stay here for sure.

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Communication
Good for an overnight stay
We stayed here on our way home from visiting family instead of a hotel. The house was nice, roomy and as described. Upstairs shower was difficult to get into with low water pressure. Only negative was the lack of communication from the owners regarding check in. I had to contact VRBO directly the day we arrived for their contact information and received instructions only hours before we checked in. Once there, the stay was enjoyable.

Cozy and completely stocked
This house is very cozy and has 4 very nice bedrooms. 7-8 people could stay, although we only had 4 of us. It also has 2 bathrooms to accommodate everyone. One on the 2nd floor (tub/shower) and one in the "basement" (walkin- shower) The host has stocked the bathrooms with basics to use if you forgot something. She also has stocked the kitchen for simple breakfast, which we needed on our early morning. Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

Fantastic
The house was everything they advertised. Very clean and well kept. All amenities were as advertised. The extra snacks and drinks provided were a nice touch. Beds were comfortable. Only complaint-tv remote did not work due to dead batteries with no replacements. But we made due with no issues! Would stay here again in a heart beat!

My two cents worth
The property owner goes out of his way to take care of this guest. Lightning quick in returning phone calls/texts. Superior customer service Nice assortment of beverages and snacks on the property Why stay in some 600 sq ft hotel room when you can have the use of a entire home that is clean certainly far more private and comfortable for the same or even less money? I will be back again when I am in Youngstown Ohio.

This house was very conveniently located, in a quiet neighborhood, with clean spaces and nice touches of hospitality. The guestbook had great local information and there were local maps and guides on the table in the living room. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay close to Sharon Speedway
We attended the SRX Race and this Craftman Style home is beautiful both inside and out. Rachel & Rich have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable from the well stocked kitchen to the extra blankets and pillows in the bedrooms and don't forget the cool clawfoot bathtub to relax as you soak in the atmosphere of this historic home. An excellent stay!
