We really enjoyed the stay. It was close to town and everything we needed. We were moving our daughter into the dorms at OU and the location was great. Host was very nice. We will definitely stay here again.
My family and I had a great experience staying here to visit the college for the weekend. The place was easy to find and very clean. It was also very nicely furnished and came equipped with everything you could possibly need for a short or long term stay. Would recommend!
Great little spot for friends to get away and visit Athens! We visited and walked to uptown because it was so nice out. Very clean and cozy spot. Would recommend to others!
Hosts were very responsive too.
The place was spacious and clean. As someone who travels a lot and likes to prepare my own meals, this kitchen was the best. Gas range ,quality cookware and utensils.

Athens Trip
Very clean place, I struggled with the parking and access. Very limited parking and difficult to park after dark, it was difficult to maneuver. This is the basement, you have to walk around the side of the house, steps were very slippery in the rain and it was very dark at night. Also I recommend curtains be put up in the main area and the bathroom window, kind of spooky at night with no curtains to close.

About the host
Hosted by Greg Moeller
My wife and I have lived in this home for 8 years and are excited to open it up to Vbro guests. We are avid travelers and experienced the benefits of Vbro first hand. We have lived in Athens for over ten years and work at OHIO UNIVERSITY. We have a four and one year old sons, and love our unique Athens community. We are also very active and spend many evenings running on the bike path and trails, hiking The Ridges, and exploring Bailey's, Hocking Hills & the surrounding region.
Less than a mile walk to the heart of OHIO UNIVERSITY (Baker Center) and Uptown Athens, our space allows you to leave your car and explore the surroundings. We look forward to meeting you.
