This location was great. The beds were comfortable. While we didn’t need these, the owner includes many nice touches for patients, including tape, gauze, and bed pads. She also included a variety of waters in the fridge to get you started, which was so thoughtful. The desk was convenient for working. The owner also sends alot of useful information for your stay when you book. She is very responsive before and during your stay. I liked having overhead and lamp lighting in each room, nightstands, and enough surfaces for things.
Some helpful information:
- The building faces the garage for the main Cleveland Clinic building. So you can walk out the apartment and through the garage to get inside within a couple minutes and maybe another 5 to the lobby. CC is sprawling so you might have to drive or shuttle to farther buildings.
- It was 15 min to downtown, many restaurants, and attractions, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Great Lakes Science Center , A Christmas Story House, West Side Market. It’s less than 10 to the Cleveland Art Museum, which is incredible.
- Because the garage is lit all night, it is bright. My spouse said it was like daylight (but light doesn’t bother him). In the other bedroom, we used blackout curtains from Amazon that use suction cups to stick to windows, and it worked really well.
- It was quiet for my sleep hours, but it got noisy every night for a bit around 9pm (sirens, yelling, random noises).
- It’s not the safest area. I was told not to walk outside by myself at night. That wasn’t a problem for us. The building itself seems safe. Just make sure the doors and windows are locked when you arrive. The patio door was unlocked. Again, no big deal to lock it.
- We had luck with street parking on the weekend and after 5pm. However, it was harder during work hours. I got caught in snow and no spot, so I paid $30 for a weekly pass for the garage across the street. That worked well for us. You have to go to a specific booth at the main entrance of the main building to buy the pass. The visitor entrance is on Euclid. (The entrance that faces the apartment is for employees.)
- This may be standard for VRBO now, but beyond cleaning and taxes, there is $20 in fees added to the stay for utilities. Then, you can either place a hefty deposit or buy insurance.
- Rite Aid is a short drive, even walkable.
- The phone app to unlock the door was easy.
Overall, I would stay there again and recommend it.
