I came to Ohio to help out with a serious family health issue for my big brother. Part of that involved some much needed support for our elderly mom, who at 91 years of age, is living in Assisted Living apartment. Though she has friends there, there’s nothing better for supper than making her feel she’s loved and important than being with family. Nothing could help make that get off on the right foot than being ‘home’ with some togetherness and TLC. And that’s exactly where Michael and his home in Avon Lake came to the rescue…for I sense mom felt she’d been rescued from the angst and loneliness through a tough time. She felt at home, and that felt great. It was her first stay at a VRBO type home and it was a great first stay and I know she’ll love more. The home itself is fully updated, had a great TV and DVD player. Came with two bathrooms, with easy access across the wide hallway from her bedroom . There was only one step up to the entrance and one step down on the inside to the living area. The kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms were all on the same level, making for a safe stay as mom has mobility issues and uses a walker. The well stocked flatware, knives, and cooking equipment made meals at home most welcome. The appliances are all user friendly, brand spanking new and clean as new too. The entire home was impeccably cleaned and the beds most comfortable. Mom’s bed was a perfect height for getting in and out of. All the heds were super comfortable. The walk in shower was a blessing with a removable shower head for her self care. We loved our stay. The entire visit was all the more fun being pet friendly and having my 3 dogs with me. Though the yard is not fenced, it was easy enough to take the dogs out on a leash. The home sits on a lovely corner lot across the street from Lake Erie with beautiful views and homes especially all the more beautiful and brighter on the spirits by the holiday lighting for Christmas. Had the place not been booked after our week long stay, I’d still be staying. And, I had the good fortune of getting to meet my terrific host, Michael. He’s truly accommodating and the home was thoughtfully stocked. Trust your gut and rent from him; you won’t be disappointed.
