Great Place to Stay

The Jungle House is a great place to stay for any Columbus activities or events, especially Short North, Downtown, or campus areas. We were pleased with every aspect of the apartment. The nicely decorated theme of exposed brick, modern furniture, and house plants provides an at-home feel, including comfy bed and appointed with great amenities. The unit is super clean and neat. Host Sergio goes the extra mile to make sure everything has been done to perfection and provides great communication to get you checked in and ready to enjoy your stay. Everything is laid back and super easy.

Amazing Location!

Sergio was a great host, very responsive and helpful! The entire place was beautiful, spacious, and it was so clean! It’s also in a great spot, with restaurants and shop’s right next to it. Everything was walking distance. I definitely plan to stay here again and would recommend to everyone, it truly is a beautiful stay with a great host!

Disliked: Location

Did not feel safe

As a group of 20s women, we did not feel safe in this location. It is near a few smoke shops, so the stairwell (which was filthy) smelled horrible and that smell seeped into the apartment. Definitely need to add an air purifier and humidifier. A window was open from where the AC was when we arrived and we had no extra bedding. The host sent the cleaners to bring bedding and look at the window at 10pm which we only allowed bc there was no option. They fixed the window by literally putting scotch tape on it. Reiterating: we did not feel safe letting strangers in at that hour or at all. The parking is much farther than the listing makes it seem. Which again is dangerous considering the area and the things happening directly below the apartment all night. There isn’t much seating in the common area so it is not a comfortable place to place to hang out. This would not be a comfortable place for more than 4 people. The futon should not be counted as a place to sleep two people since it is super uncomfortable and small. The location is fine but definitely not in the safe part of the Short North. This might be a fine place to stay if you’re really drunk when you come home and you don’t look around too much but not for a group of women just getting dinner in the Short North.

Great Location and Kind Folks

This is a nice apartment downtown near all the restaurants and bars. The host added some little perks like a basket of granola bars and ramen on the kitchen counter for the guests. This was much appreciated as I was coming in and out of the unit for short periods of rest during a family member’s long hospital stay. I really appreciated the host’s communication and kindness throughout. I will definitely be rebooking next time I’m in town.

Beware of parking & bring ear plugs

The apartment is lovely; however, the batteries in the smoke detector needed to replaced and the chirp was the music of the night. In the morning, I found my window broken in and learned many cars in the neighborhood were broken into that night. Beware.

Neighborhood Sketchy

Property is well appointed, clean and host is helpful. The homeless are camping on street in front of property. Very noisy and disturbing at night. Neighbors are smoking lots of weed stinking up stairwell and apartment when door is opened to enter or leave. A bit too edgy of a neighborhood for our comfort. A couple blocks south and it would be ok.
