Enjoyed our stay. Location is convenient to everything we needed. The town house is on a very bust street but noise was minimal inside. The house is very well stocked and beds are very comfortable. It is nice to see revitalization in the area.

Very nice place

This house was in a convenient location close to where we needed to be. Several restaurants close by. The high ratings for cleanliness were accurate and the house was comfortable. There were even small considerations such as a sleep sound machine for the bedroom on the street side, and snacks left in the kitchen. I will be renting this house the next time I am in town.

We had a great stay here during the all American quarter horse congress. It was close to the fairground and in a safe part of Columbus. The property was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Friday and Saturday night things are a somewhat loud on the street, but that’s to be expected in a college town. The host was very communicative and helpful. They were very accommodating of us having 2 large dually trucks to park, and they were very sweet about our dog staying in the home. Overall a very nice experience.

Clean, modern, and artsy

The property was very clean and in a great location. It had a tv and a/c too. Everything appeared to be well maintained except the bathroom sink, which wasn't draining well, but I'm sure the owners will take care of that and report that here. We hope to stay there again since it was so close to campus and so pleasant.

Thank you Elise for staying with us! And also for bringing the drain to our attention. We ended up replacing the drain because the original manufacture drain did not let enough air in for proper drainage. Thanks!

Big Green House

Excellent house, close to Short North attractions, clean, roomy, updated. However, Basement is another rental, a little noisy sometimes, parking limited to 4 spots for both rentals. Rental company very responsive and helpful. Well worth the money.

Thank you, Charles, for your review and hope to host again in the future. We do ask basement renters to be considerate of people in the home and vice versa. We also honor quiet hours from 9pm - 9am.
