Short North Hideaway - Walkable & Pets Welcome
Overview
Short North Hideaway is a two-story, two-bedroom, one-bath apartment-style rental tucked into the heart of Columbus's Short North Arts District, just half a block from High Street. The unit features hardwood floors, stone countertops, and original art, giving it a modern, design-forward feel rather than a standard hotel layout. It is pet-friendly and smoke-free, welcoming one pet per stay under house rules.
Rooms & Sleeping Arrangements
The main floor holds a primary bedroom with a Queen bed plus a living room with a Queen-sized pullout couch, while a second Queen bedroom with closet storage occupies the upper floor, allowing the unit to comfortably sleep multiple guests or a small family. A Roku TV with streaming capability and high-speed Wi-Fi are available in the living area for downtime after a day of exploring.
Kitchen & Practical Amenities
The fully equipped kitchen includes a microwave, toaster, cookware, and complimentary coffee, making it easy for guests to prepare meals in-unit. A renovated bathroom offers a walk-in shower and toiletries, and an in-unit washer and dryer are provided, along with air conditioning, heating, cable TV, and free Wi-Fi throughout the stay. Free parking is available in a designated, signed spot.
Location & Surroundings
The property sits steps from High Street's restaurants, bars, coffee shops, bakeries, and boutiques, with dining options like Bodega, Press Grill, The Rossi Kitchen + Bar, Arch City Tavern, and House of Creole Columbus all within a few hundred meters. Multiple bus stations are within easy walking distance (as close as 110m), and landmarks such as Goodale Park, North Market, Nationwide Arena, and the Greater Columbus Convention Center are all under a mile away. John Glenn Columbus International Airport is roughly 9.6km away.
House Rules & Noise Considerations
Because of its central location on High Street, the surrounding area can be lively on weekend nights, so sound machines are provided in the unit to help guests sleep comfortably. Quiet hours run from 10:00PM to 7:00AM and are strictly enforced, and the property maintains a no-parties, no-smoking-inside policy to preserve a comfortable environment for guests and neighbors alike.
Best for
This property suits urban explorers, foodies, and pet owners who want to be within walking distance of Short North's dining, bars, and boutiques while still having full kitchen and laundry facilities. It also works well for small groups or families needing two bedrooms and flexible sleeping arrangements, thanks to the two Queen bedrooms plus a pullout couch. Travelers who value walkability and public transit access, with multiple bus stops within a few hundred meters, will also find it convenient.
Travel tips
Book quiet accommodations elsewhere if you're sensitive to weekend noise, since the location half a block from High Street means Friday and Saturday nights can be lively; the provided sound machines can help offset this. Use the nearby bus stations (as close as 110m away) to reach other parts of Columbus without a car, and note that designated parking spot #47 should be used rather than street parking. Plan a short walk to Goodale Park (0.3 miles) or North Market (0.8 miles) as an easy way to explore the neighborhood on foot.
