Modern Luxury in Columbus Near Downtown & OSU
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
This modern 2-bedroom loft occupies a building completed in 2023 on High Street, just north of the Ohio State University campus and a short distance from downtown Columbus. The unit blends contemporary design with practical comfort, offering an entire private home rather than a shared property. With a 4.8 rating from 22 reviews, it stands out as a stylish, up-to-date alternative to traditional hotel stays in the area.
Rooms & Layout
The loft sleeps guests across one king bed and two full-size beds, making it suitable for couples, families, or small groups. Bathrooms come stocked with body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and fresh towels, and bedrooms include an iron and ironing board, hair dryer, and wireless charging stations. A balcony and patio provide additional private outdoor space, and an in-building elevator serves the unit's floor.
Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen features quartz countertops, chestnut cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances including an oven, stove, and microwave, along with a full set of cookware, dishware, and a coffee maker stocked with Starbucks coffee and tea. A dining table seats four, making in-unit meals easy after a grocery run or takeout order. Guests are steps from a wide range of dining options, including HIGH EATS and Shah's Halal Food for halal fare, Mikey's Late Night Slice, Exotic Latin Grill, PJ's Sandwiches, IHOP, The Blue Danube on High, Savvy Sliders, and Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers.
Amenities
The unit is fully air-conditioned and heated, smoke-free throughout, and equipped with a washer for laundry during longer stays. Free Wi-Fi and cable TV via the Spectrum app are included, along with free on-site parking, a notable convenience in a dense urban neighborhood near a major university.
Location & Surroundings
The loft sits within easy walking distance of Ohio Stadium and the OSU campus, and close to three bus stations, including one just 128 meters away at N High St & E Hudson St. It's roughly half a mile from the Short North Arts District, about 1.5 miles from downtown Columbus, the Convention Center, and Nationwide Arena, and around 10 kilometers from John Glenn Columbus International Airport.
Best for
This loft suits families and small groups who want a home-away-from-home with a full kitchen, washer, and multiple beds, as well as Ohio State game-day visitors thanks to its proximity to Ohio Stadium and the High/Lane tailgate area. Business travelers benefit from free high-speed Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace, while food-focused travelers will appreciate the dense cluster of halal, sandwich, pizza, and breakfast restaurants within a few blocks.
Travel tips
Free on-site parking makes arriving by car straightforward, though guests without a vehicle can rely on three nearby bus stations, the closest just 128 meters away, or use Uber/Lyft, which can pick up directly from the loft. The location is roughly a 10-minute walk to OSU campus and the High/Lane intersection, so plan extra time around game days when the area gets busy. Check-in is handled remotely via electronic locks and a keyfob, so confirm you can access the check-in instructions on a laptop or alternate device in case mobile access is inconsistent.
What guests say
Guests generally praised the unit's electronic locks, keyfob access, Wi-Fi, and overall condition once they were able to get inside, along with the convenience of nearby dining such as a downstairs ramen restaurant. A recurring negative theme centered on check-in difficulties, with at least one guest reporting trouble retrieving digital check-in instructions on a mobile phone and an unresponsive host after hours, leading to a lengthy delay before entry. A minor maintenance issue was also mentioned, with one of the two shower drains draining poorly during a stay. Despite these access and maintenance hiccups, the in-unit experience itself was described as satisfactory overall.
