Beautiful 1 Bedroom Steps From The Short North
Guest rating: 4.6 / 5
Overview
This is a one-bedroom apartment-style rental set in Columbus's Short North District, styled with a slick western/country chic aesthetic. It's positioned just steps from the neighborhood's bars, restaurants, and shops, making it a base for exploring the city on foot. Access is via a digital door lock for self check-in convenience.
The Unit
The living room centers on a plush sofa and a large coffee table facing a 50-inch Roku TV with streaming access. The bedroom carries the country chic theme with a queen bed, quality linens, two reading lamps, and a soft area rug. The ensuite-style bathroom includes a bathtub, an overhead shower stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, plus plenty of towels.
Kitchen & Amenities
The wrap-around kitchen is fully equipped with a full-size fridge/freezer, oven and stovetop, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher, and complete cookware and dinnerware for preparing full meals. In-unit laundry is available via a washer, and other amenities include air conditioning, heating, a balcony, a patio, an ironing board, and free Wi-Fi. The property is smoke-free, pet-friendly, and kid-friendly.
Location & Getting Around
Three bus stations are within 200 meters, including Summit St & E 5th Ave just 118 meters away, and John Glenn Columbus International Airport is roughly 9.5km away. A dense cluster of dining options sits within a five-minute walk, including ['plas], Habibi Grill, Bodega, Mezcla, Modern Southern Table, and House of Creole Columbus, with Northstar Cafe, Domo Sushi Kitchen Bar, Alqueria, and Forno Kitchen + Bar slightly further out.
Parking
There is no parking included in the unit's attached lot, but paid street parking is available directly next to the complex. Stays of two nights or more can purchase a $3 daily parking pass through the ParkColumbus app for the 'SNB' permit zone outside the property, and metered or limited free parking is also available nearby on N High St.
Best for
This rental suits couples, solo travelers, and small groups who want a walkable base in the Short North District close to bars, restaurants, and shops. The full kitchen, washer, and pet-friendly, kid-friendly policies also make it workable for longer stays or travelers bringing a pet or family along.
Travel tips
Plan for street parking rather than on-site parking, and consider the ParkColumbus app's daily permit pass if staying two or more nights. Three bus stations are within a couple hundred meters, so the unit is workable without a car for getting around central Columbus, though the airport is about 9.5km away and best reached by car or rideshare. Arrange check-in instructions with the host well ahead of arrival, since digital lock access requires prior setup.
What guests say
Guests frequently praise the stylish, western-themed decor and the unbeatable walkable location, with bars, shops, and restaurants right outside the door. Cleanliness and responsive host communication are also mentioned positively by several reviewers. However, at least one reviewer reported a notably poor experience involving unclear or delayed check-in instructions, an intrusive check-in form requesting unnecessary personal information, and difficulty reaching the host on arrival day. This creates a mixed picture where the physical space and location are consistently well-liked, but check-in communication has been inconsistent for some guests.
