Newly Renovated (E) OSU/Central Near EVERYTHING
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
This newly renovated two-bedroom, one-bath unit sits in an off-campus residential area near Ohio State University, offering a private, urban home base for visiting Columbus. It features a private outside entrance with keyless self-check-in and exterior security cameras for added peace of mind. The space blends modern renovation details with practical, self-catering comfort for stays of any length.
Rooms & Sleeping Arrangements
The unit sleeps guests across two bedrooms -- one with a queen bed and one with two twin beds -- plus an additional twin-size memory-foam folding guest bed, accommodating small groups. All linens, towels, and washcloths are provided, along with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hairdryer, and iron with ironing board.
Kitchen & In-Unit Amenities
A fully equipped kitchen includes a refrigerator/freezer, stove/oven, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, cookware, dishware, utensils, and basic pantry staples like oil, salt, pepper, and spices, making it easy to prepare meals in-house. The unit also offers central air conditioning and heating, a smoke-free environment, cable TV with free streaming access, and free Wi-Fi.
Parking & Practical Extras
Up to two free parking spots are available in the building's own private lot, a notable convenience in this off-campus, high-traffic area, with additional on-street parking nearby. Basic cleaning supplies, toilet paper, and paper towels are also stocked, and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are installed for safety.
Location & Surroundings
The property is walking distance to Ohio State University, High Street bus lines, and numerous dining options, including Oldfield's North Fourth Tavern just 179 meters away and several halal, pizza, and fast-food restaurants within a kilometer. It is roughly 1.4 to 1.5 miles from Ohio Stadium, Mapfre Stadium, Italian Village, and the Short North Arts District, about 2 miles from the Convention Center and Arena District, and around 3 miles from Downtown Columbus, with John Glenn Columbus International Airport approximately 9 kilometers away.
Best for
This unit suits groups and families visiting Ohio State University or attending events at Ohio Stadium, the Schottenstein Center, or the Ohio Expo Center, given its off-campus walking-distance location and multi-bed layout across two bedrooms plus a folding guest bed. It also appeals to travelers who value self-catering, since the fully equipped kitchen and free private parking reduce the need for dining out or navigating campus-area street parking.
Travel tips
Take advantage of the free private parking lot, since street parking near campus can be limited, and use the nearby bus stops on High Street and at N 4th St & Chittenden Ave for quick access across the city. Many attractions -- Ohio Stadium, Italian Village, and the Short North -- are roughly 1.2 to 1.5 miles away, making them walkable or a short bus/rideshare ride, while Downtown Columbus is about 3 miles out. Note that the host does not accept bookings from local guests and may request ID before issuing the self-check-in code, so plan to have identification ready.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the cleanliness and modern renovation of the unit, along with the convenience of the private parking lot in a busy campus-adjacent area. Several reviewers highlight the responsiveness of the host, Jessie, particularly in quickly addressing internet and TV streaming interruptions. A recurring minor complaint involves spotty Wi-Fi and occasional TV buffering, though this is generally described as promptly resolved. Repeat guests note they have returned multiple times, citing the location's convenience to OSU as a key draw.
