The property is in a great location, close to campus and our favorite coffee spot (Fox in the Snow). While there is a bit of wear and tear, which makes sense given the proximity to campus, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay with this host in the future!

If you’re looking for a bright airy home that still offers privacy in a quiet area near OSU, this is absolutely the place! The home is comfortable, spacious and welcoming. The covered deck with the TV was a fabulous spot to spend a nice fall afternoon after a morning of walking. The hosts are fantastic, regularly checking in to ensure our stay was great. Highly recommend!

This house is super cute. Three good sized bedrooms, three areas for relaxing plus outside balcony with tv, 3 1/2 baths. They’re very generous with all your needs: coffee and creamer, paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, free parking for 1 car. And you don’t have to do all the cleaning when you leave. We had a girls weekend with 6 of us. Only thing I wish was different was the bedroom with bunk beds would have been better with two separate full size beds. Couch on the main floor is a good size and very comfy. There’s two other couch seating areas but I didn’t sit on them. Kitchen is perfect for cooking and entertaining. Close to all the restaurants, bars and shopping. We walked most places, about 0.7 miles to get to High stThe check in process was a bit of a pain, every guest had to check in and I though I had filled it all out when I booked but the day we arrived all that info needed to be filled in (again?).

The Good: The house is clean, spacious, well equipped and accurate to the listing. Parking is also straightforward. The host is part of a company so the communication is good and the responses are fast even later in the evening. The Not So Good: There was no blind in the downstairs bedroom. The blinds in the other bedrooms don’t really keep the light out - recommend bringing eye masks. The host requires a lot of information about each person through a separate website after booking. On the day of check in I was then also asked to text a picture of my driving license in order to receive the check in code.
