Boris and Susan have a diamond in the rough VRBO property in the heart of The Ohio State University community. As with every major university town, while school is in session, parking can be a challenge here; however we had five separate car loads staying for 4 days and 3 nights, and within the first 12 hours of arriving and checking in, we were able to get all of our vehicles parked within a block of the house, and mostly within eyesight just across the street. The check-in process really isn't much different than checking into a downtown hotel, drive up to the entrance, unload, unpack the cars, and then go find parking and walk back. And outside of having to taxi some volleyball players downtown to their tournament each day, once we parked our cars after checking in, we used very affordable and available Uber and Lyft all weekend long. The street this house is on also doesn't get much traffic, so it is mostly very quiet all hours of the day. Heck, it was probably we Wisconsinites who were the loudest folks on the block ;)
I can't say enough how much we enjoyed staying at this property!! I knew immediately things were going to be great when the wives/moms were just glowing about how clean and how pristine the interiors of this duplex was. From the bathrooms to the bedrooms to the living rooms and kitchens, this place exceeded our expectations, and we found that the pictures online were exactly how we found our home away from home when we arrived. The kitchens had absolutely everything we needed to cook breakfast every morning and to cook dinner as well. The porch even provided cover from the rain which allowed us to use our portable gas grills and cook up a feast one night. This place really provided the space and intimacy for all 12 of us, and never did we feel crunched for space, not even close. With the exception of two of the players who shared one of the upper level twin bedrooms, everyone had their own, private bedroom, and everyone was unanimous in how comfortable their beds/pillows were and how soft the bedding linens were. AWESOME!! And with 12 people under one roof, not once was there any problem with hot water for showering. And the bathroom linens were also high quality as well.
Not only do I recommend Boris and Susan's spectacular diamond in the rough property, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place!! Great owners, great hospitality, great attention to detail! And always timely with their communication. Love this place! You will too!
