Stayed here for parents weekend with my husband and another couple who also have kids at OSU. Sergio was excellent in his communication. The location is ideal, close to OSU and High Street. It's an updated apartment, very clean and we parked right in front of the house. He had coffee, snacks, toiletries and even sleep masks and ear plugs if needed. We will definitely be back!
