Overview
This listing is a jungle-themed vacation rental duplex unit in Columbus, Ohio, situated on West Fourth Avenue between the Short North Arts District, Downtown, and Ohio State University. The home is decorated with an abundance of plants, original hardwood floors, and upscale decor, and is one half of a duplex that shares a wall with the neighboring unit. Guests enter via a self-check-in smart lock, with steps leading up to the front door.
Rooms & Sleeping Space
The home sleeps a larger group with 4 bedrooms configured with 2 king beds, 3 queen beds, a queen air mattress, and a pack-and-play crib for younger travelers. There is 1.5 bathrooms stocked with complimentary toiletries. Every bedroom includes a white noise machine, fan, and earplugs to help manage street or shared-wall noise.
Amenities
The unit offers a fully equipped kitchen with an oven/stove, microwave, and coffee setup, plus air conditioning, heating, a fireplace, and a balcony and patio with an outdoor grill for outdoor relaxation. Guests get free Wi-Fi and a Smart TV with Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN, plus a dedicated workspace, ironing board, and cable TV. The property is both pet-friendly and kid-friendly, with a crib available, and free permit street parking is included for one vehicle.
Location & Surroundings
The home sits about a 5-minute walk from the Short North District and under a mile from the Ohio State University campus, with Downtown Columbus and the Greater Columbus Convention Center roughly a 4-minute drive away. Multiple bus stations are within a few hundred meters, and a cluster of restaurants -- including Alqueria, Bodega, Habibi Grill, House of Creole Columbus, Northstar Cafe, and Press Grill -- sit within about a mile. John Glenn Columbus International Airport is roughly a 10-minute drive.
Guest Services
Self check-in and check-out are handled via a smart keypad, and hosts offer add-on packages such as early check-in, late check-out, romance packages, and birthday packages. Two exterior security cameras and noise-level monitors (audio only, no recording) are in place for guest safety, and the property is professionally cleaned and sanitized between stays.
Best for
This property suits groups, families, and business travelers who want a spacious, multi-bedroom home base close to Short North, Downtown, and OSU. The 4-bedroom layout, pack-and-play crib, and pet-friendly policy make it workable for family or multi-generational trips, while proximity to the Convention Center and Nationwide Arena supports business travelers and event-goers. Its walkable location near restaurants and bus stops also appeals to friend groups wanting a night out without needing a car.
Travel tips
Walking is the easiest way to reach Short North's restaurants and bars, most of which are within a mile, and several bus stations sit within a few hundred meters of the door. Only one vehicle is covered by the included free street permit parking, so groups with multiple cars should arrange additional permits in advance. Because the home sits on a residential cross street with daytime and evening traffic and shares a wall with the adjoining duplex unit, light sleepers should note the white noise machines provided in each room.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the ease of communication with the host and the straightforward self-check-in process. The spacious layout with three-plus bedrooms and a large living area has worked well for bigger groups traveling together. The option to bring pets for an additional nightly fee and the host's booking guarantee are also noted as reassuring, contributing to a smooth overall experience from arrival to departure.
