Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Rowe Rentals
Mike and Ingrid met in Japan and moved to Columbus in 2009 and have been loving it ever since! They are both experienced travelers & love renovating historic homes. It seemed natural to combine their hobbies of traveling and renovating- so they started hosting in 2015. Hello Rowe Rentals! Our team, Frances, Ingrid, and Mike, knows quite a bit about the Short North and are pleased to help you during your stay-please contact Rowe Rentals for any questions!
Why they chose this property
We renovate old homes and build new ones occasionally. It's a rare opportunity to build a new home in an historic neighborhood. We were able to do so in this case because a home that was built in the 1870s had burned down around 2012. Sometimes houses can be saved and in this case and unfortunately, the city approved a emergency demolition of the home. We purchased the vacant lot and the rest is (new) history.
