We loved this property. It was perfect for 2 couples who are long distance friends both visiting our kids for OSU parents weekend. The location is awesome! The place is very nice with very cute decor and super comfortable beds. I loved the extra towels and treats. The only thing I would say is that the main living area should have a small table and chairs and more places to sit in the living room. The larger bedroom could also have a chair and / or luggage rack. Overall it was a perfect place and stay.

Comfy stay in a great location. One bedroom didn’t have a tv during our stay. I imagine it was a temporary situation that will be fixed in short time. We didn’t mind too much, as we were pretty busy during our stay, but maybe something to check with host if that is a priority. Beds are comfy, neighborhood feels safe, and host is very responsive. Would definitely stay again!

Our stay at the Jungle Jive was excellent! My colleague and I opted to stay there versus a hotel and didn't regret it. The space had just enough room and the airbnb had everything we needed. It was a nice and easy quick walk to the convention center.

Just an overnight . . .

I read the "guidance" on the refrigerator about the star ratings, and I believe I am being judicious with the 3. Nice enough place, but two main, one extremely key, issues. First was not having any viable video streaming other than searching Roku on our own. But, somebody left Apple TV signed-into, so it was inconvenient, but ok. The key issue was the bedsheets -- cheap and flimsy and popped off the mattress a number of times -- I really should not to have to remake a bed at all, let alone more than once. So, lots of niceties, but, for an overnight stay, the first and foremost priority is the sleeping arrangement -- I guess we could have gone to the other room, still not acceptable. Oh, and the phone contact for assistance seemed non-personable and not terribly helpful.Good fodder for the next training Sergio.
