Don;'t rent any property from this guy
This guy is awful. He didn't respond timely to emails. No way to call. Then after check out he accuses me of stealing his tiny bath towels that are not much larger than hand towels and I reply twice that all the towels that were in the house are still there. He emails and says he has not heard from me and charges me more money.
He sent no check lout list till the evening before check out so we didn't follow check out procedures since I didn't see the email till after we left. This was my first ever expreience in a VRBO and it is most likely my last thanks to Dan.

Glad to have options in University Heights
This is a great house in University heights if you are doing activities at JCU, seeing family, or don't want to be directly in downtown Cleveland.

Sweet Home*
The pictures show you how cute the home is. We were able to have our dog with us for an additional fee. The kitchen was nicely stocked with good working appliances and cooking essentials. Overall we were pleased. Just a couple notes, two of the three beds are memory foam mattresses - which my husband and I do not find comfortable. Very grateful bedroom #3 had a traditional mattress. The bathroom towels had lost their fluff and should be replaced. Nice location, close to good eats, safe neighborhood.
