Julia."Pinterest-style decorating. Very aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. Extremely clean and accommodating. LOVED the tips and ideas for area restaurants."

Britini."Rubber City BnB was a wonderful host with tons of thoughtful little touches! This house has everything you could need and very comfortable beds! I stayed for a whole month to work at Akron General hospital and the location was very convenient to the hospital! Check in and out was a breeze and the security system was a really nice touch for someone from out of town."

"Both the host and her house are true gems. The house was not only in a great, safe neighborhood, but it was spotless, stylish and equipped with everything my family needed. The house came with fresh towels, toiletries, cooking utensils, and even snacks in the fridge! Rubber City BnB went above and beyond - even surprising us with a bottle of champagne as I was graduating from the University of Akron that weekend. 10/10 would recommend staying here!"

Some History of Akron and Why it's Called the Rubber City...
A long history of rubber and tire manufacturing, carried on today by Goodyear Tire, gave Akron the nickname "Rubber Capital of the World" The American trucking industry was birthed through Akron's Rubber Capital of the World era when the four major tire companies Goodrich Corporation (1869), Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company (1898), Firestone Tire and Rubber Company (1900), and General Tire (1915)were headquartered in the city. Rubber companies responded to housing crunches by building affordable housing for workers. Goodyear's president, F.A. Seiberling, built the Goodyear Heights neighborhood for employees. Likewise, Harvey Firestone built the Firestone Park neighborhood for his employees. During the 1910–1920 decade, Akron became a boom town, being America's fastest growing city with a 201.8% increase in population. Of the 208,000 citizens, almost one-third were immigrants (also Clark Gable) and their children from places including Europe and West Virginia. In 1929 and 1931 Goodyear's subsidiary Goodyear-Zeppelin Company manufactured two airships for the United States Navy, USS Akron (ZRS-4) and USS Macon (ZRS-5).
