Spacious Studio w/ King Bed | Walk to OSU + Bars
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
This ground-floor studio sits in Columbus's Short North Arts District, blending easy walkability with a quiet residential feel. It's designed for solo travelers or couples wanting a smart, comfortable base close to galleries, nightlife, and campus life rather than a sprawling resort experience. Guests enter through their own private entrance with a dedicated parking space, keeping the stay self-contained and low-key.
Room & Kitchen
The studio centers on a single king bed with fresh linens and quality bath essentials, plus a kitchenette featuring a cooktop, oven, microwave, and an island that doubles as dining and workspace. A drip coffee maker and French press cover morning coffee, and a smart TV with cable rounds out the in-room entertainment. Central air conditioning and heating keep the space comfortable year-round.
Amenities & Practicalities
Beyond the kitchen setup, the unit includes a washer, ironing board, free Wi-Fi, and free on-premises parking, making it functional for longer stays or remote work. Pets are welcome, and a Pack 'n Play/travel crib is available on request for guests traveling with young children. Smart locks and exterior security cameras support guest safety given the alley-facing entrance.
Location & Dining
The address is a two-minute walk to High Street's boutiques, art galleries, and nightlife, and roughly an eight-minute walk to Ohio State University, making it a strong pick for game days or campus visits. Multiple bus stops sit within a few hundred meters, and dozens of restaurants are within walking distance, including Santos Restaurant & Bar, Standard Hall, Bodega, Mikey's Late Night Slice, and Seventh Son Brewing Co. Goodale Park, North Market, and German Village are all reachable within a short walk or drive for further exploration.
Best for
This studio suits solo travelers and couples looking for a walkable, self-sufficient base near Short North's bars, galleries, and restaurants, or visitors attending OSU games and campus events just an eight-minute walk away. The kitchenette, free parking, and pet-friendly policy also make it a practical choice for shorter functional stays rather than large groups, since gatherings are prohibited and extra guests beyond two incur added fees.
Travel tips
The location is walk-everywhere for High Street dining, galleries, and nightlife, with several bus stops within a few hundred meters for trips further afield; rideshare is recommended for anything outside the immediate district. Note there are 6 steps up to the entry door and the front door faces an alley, so plan for a bit of a walk-up with luggage. John Glenn Columbus International Airport is about 9.8km away, roughly a 15-20 minute drive.
What guests say
Guests consistently describe the stay as comfortable and well-located, praising the immersive city-center setting amid Short North's energy. One recurring criticism concerns cleanliness given the cleaning fee charged, with a guest noting lingering odors, stray hairs in the sink, and scented pillows that seemed off. That same review also flagged difficulty reaching the host through a third-party booking site's contact number, though they still called the space generously equipped and said they'd return in a pinch, suggesting these issues were isolated rather than typical.
