Cozy, country setting about 5 mi. from Meadville, Allegheny College, Meadville Medical Center, the Crawford County Fairgrounds, restaurants, and shopping. Our property affords off-street parking and a large back yard in a peaceful neighborhood.

Erie Intn'l Airport is slightly less than 1 hr away, and Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Buffalo airports are within 2 hrs.

Please note: We have a no-smoking policy for our entire property--inside and outside.

We also maintain a strict no pets policy.

The space
Where the apartment is:
Guests' space is 350 square feet built onto the back of our home. It is on ground level and has its own private entrance. Away from the street, it offers a peaceful setting and a backyard view where wildlife can often be seen.

What the apartment features:
*Full-sized refrigerator, dishwasher, and electric range allow you to easily cook and clean up meals, if you would rather not eat out.
*Cupboards are stocked with pans, utensils, dinnerware, and glasses.
*A variety of spices is provided.
*A microwave, toaster, and Keurig coffee maker, with assorted K-cups are available for guest use.
*Purified water is kept in a container in the refrigerator. No need for disposable plastic bottles.
*A large armoire offers clothes-hanging space, shelves, and drawers.
*Light-blocking window shades let you darken the room if you need to sleep during the day.
*An ironing board and iron make it easy for you to remove the travel marks from your clothing.
*Wi-Fi and cable service are provided.
*Sleeping options include a queen-sized bed and twin-sized futon.
*The full bath has a tub, handmade bar soap, and hair dryer.
*Oak hardwood floors are heated in cold weather (approx. November-April).
*During the months of May-October, the apartment is heated or cooled with a mini-split air conditioner/heater. It is quiet and does not take up window space.
*No need to worry about finding a place for your vehicle. We have plenty of off-street parking.
*Coded keypad entry provides access regardless of what time you arrive. A lighted, concrete sidewalk leads from the parking area to the apartment door.

Our commitment to clean:

From the beginning of our Airbnb experience, we have valued giving our guests a clean place to stay. Our reviews attest to that fact. We mop, launder, and scrub throughout the apartment. Since the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have added to our standard procedures. Between guests, we do the following extras.
*Run an air purifier.
*Launder all pillows (the bed pillows and the throw pillows on the futon).
*Disinfect the mattress
*Scrub and disinfect other soft surfaces (futon, chair seats and backs, foot stool).

Other things to note:

We DO NOT get Verizon cell phone service here. Although it is available nearby, our home is in a dead spot. This is not generally a problem since most phones can connect via wi-fi which is available in the apartment. BUT we want prospective guests to know about this.

We advertise our space as "Smoke free" so that we can accommodate guests with allergies to or other issues with cigarette smoke. Therefore, we do not allow smoking in the apartment or on the rest of the property. Smokers, then, need to find other places to smoke if they stay here. This is an inconvenience even in good weather. In inclement weather, it can be a problem. Those who smoke would probably be happier in a space that does not have smoking restrictions.

Mindful of those with allergies, we do not allow pets.

We provide light snacks.

We do not offer breakfast fare, but you will find snack granola bars, crackers, and other snack items.

Guest access
Our apartment is on a main, paved road. Navigating Meadville and the surrounding area is quite easy. Once guests are on our property, they have access to an off-road parking space.

Other things to note
Realizing that those who wish to stay for longer periods of time will need to do laundry, we recently added a laundry room just a few feet from the apartment--literally about 5 giant steps. There is space on top of the front-loading machines for guests to put their items, and we have provided a laundry basket and a space for hanging clothes. We do not provide laundry detergent or other laundry aids. Guests who book for 5 nights or more will be given a code which will allow them access to the laundry. We hope that this will make our guests even more at home.
