Best for
This property suits pet owners and families traveling with pups thanks to its pet-friendly policy, as well as groups of up to 6 who want a full kitchen, washer, and multi-room layout instead of a standard hotel room. It's also a strong fit for guests who want to walk to Short North dining, Nationwide Arena, the Convention Center, or Ohio State without needing a car, given the dense cluster of restaurants and bus stops within a few hundred meters.
Travel tips
Parking is on-street in this Short North neighborhood, but guests report it's generally easy to find a spot near the home. Several bus stops are within a 5-10 minute walk (as close as 225m), making it simple to reach other parts of Columbus without driving. Because the home is a multi-level townhouse, guests should be prepared to climb stairs to reach bedrooms and bathrooms.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the cleanliness of the home, describing well-stocked kitchens, plush towels, and soft, clean linens. Many highlight the quiet, safe feel of the historic brick townhouse and its fun, plant-filled modern decor, with one solo traveler specifically noting she felt safe traveling alone. The pet-friendly policy and thoughtful touches like an electric tea kettle are also called out positively. The main recurring caution is that the home involves stairs to reach bedrooms and bathrooms, which some guests flag as a consideration before booking.
