Great location and good space. Very clean and inviting and comfortable. It is an old building and hallway into apartment smells damp. Apartment has dehumidifier and no smells but my asthma still was triggered. Great place but if you have bad allergies perhaps not for you.

The host was extremely responsive and communication was excellent! The location was minutes from Ohio State University and basically everything you could want in terms of places to eat and things to do. We were only in town for one night, but the place was nice and included free parking that was just a very short walk away. I would recommend staying here to anyone looking for a place close to Ohio State or downtown Columbus.

We stayed for one night while in town for a concert. The location was as described, communication was on point, it was very clean, was a fun atmosphere. The only challenge is parking but they gave good instructions to elimate any confusion .

Cute apartment in the short north

Apartment is accurately shown in the listing and the owner was phenomenal in their response when the door code did not work. But four things to note: 1. The bathroom is older and fixtures worn. Still works and was very clean. 2. Exterior entrance to the building is between two smoke shops and had homeless people blocking it when I arrived. Leaving in the morning I stepped through trash and broken glass from someone’s meal. 3. Owner has really considerate additions to the flat to help visitors deal with noise from the bustle and energy of the Short North. After you’re done enjoying the area for dinner and shopping, you have fans, earplugs and a white noise machine to help you leave it behind and get a good night’s sleep. 4. The free included parking is permit controlled on-street parking. If you are not comfortable leaving your vehicle on the street in the neighborhood (I wasn’t) there are several parking garages within a 10-min walk that are more secure (for a price).
