Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
This listing is one half of a renovated early-1900s duplex in New California, offering a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout designed for large groups. The property is pet-friendly and smoke-free, with the option to book the adjoining unit (Iuka II) for even bigger parties, making it a flexible choice for reunions, OSU game weekends, or multi-family trips.
Rooms & Layout
The unit sleeps a large group across four bedrooms, including a bonus fourth bedroom with three queen beds and its own private bath, ideal when a group exceeds four guests. A crib is available for traveling families with infants, and the historic duplex character is paired with modern conveniences throughout.
Amenities
The home is equipped with a full kitchen, oven/stove, microwave, and ironing board for extended self-catering stays, plus washer access for longer visits. Guests also have air conditioning, heating, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, a patio with an outdoor grill, and free parking with two dedicated spots behind the house.
Location & Dining
The duplex is about a 10-minute walk to the Ohio State University campus and close to multiple bus stops, including one just 48 meters away, making it easy to reach campus or downtown without a car. A short Uber ride reaches the Short North for restaurants, bars, and galleries, while nearby dining options within roughly a mile include IHOP, Cafe Zupas, HIGH EATS, Cazuelas Mexican Cantina, Cluckadoodledoo, Mikey's Late Night Slice, and Fourth Street Taproom & Kitchen.
Pet Policy
Dogs are welcome for a $35 per day fee, capped at $200 per month, making this a practical option for travelers who don't want to leave their pets behind during OSU visits or extended stays.
Best for
This property is best suited for large groups, families, and OSU visitors who need multiple bedrooms and bathrooms under one roof, especially given the bonus queen-filled fourth bedroom. It also appeals to pet owners thanks to its clear dog policy and to anyone wanting walkable access to campus paired with an easy Uber ride to the Short North's dining and nightlife.
Travel tips
Plan on about a 10-minute walk to OSU's campus, or use the bus stop just 48 meters from the door for quicker trips around the area. For Short North restaurants, bars, and galleries, a short rideshare is more practical than walking, and the two on-site parking spots mean driving in is easy if you'd rather have a car for exploring greater Columbus. John Glenn Columbus International Airport is roughly 9 kilometers away, a short drive for arrivals and departures.
