This stay was in a lovely historic brick townhouse located steps away from Short North. It was clean, well-stocked, and quiet. There even was an electric tea kettle, which I found amazing! (I drink tea exclusively and always bring my own tea kettle. This was my first rental ever where I didn’t need to use it!) Towels were plush, sheets were clean and soft, and the decor was fun: townhouse modern with lots of healthy plants. I am a grandmother who was traveling alone and I felt completely safe. It was on-street parking, but there were no problems finding a spot. Please note that there are stairs: to access the bathrooms and bedrooms, you must be able to climb them. I recommend this home highly.

Exploring the Urban Jungle

The description of The Urban Jungle was spot on. It was very clean, and many thoughtful additions were surprising to encounter. We brought a small package of coffee, but we were able to use the supplied Local Coffee. The pans, plates, and silverware were high quality. You could feel the thoughtfulness throughout the whole location. We enjoyed our visit and would stay here again in the future.

Beautiful, cozy apartment

Had a quick visit to Columbus and this was a perfect stay. convenient location to downtown and OSU. beautifully well lit and felt like home. There were no closets available in the bedroom for storage, and the two downstairs were locked. So, that would be challenging for a longer stay or with the family.

Beautiful, relaxing house in walking distance to Short North

I was really impressed with the location of this one, you can walk to restaurants, bars and coffee shops in the Short North from the house. The decorating and all the plants are so beautiful and fun!! The third top finished attic level is great, but the AC had a hard time keeping it cool in 90+ summer heat. Feels like a retreat, safe haven.
