Overview
This apartment-style rental occupies the second floor of a residential building in the Grandview Heights area of New California, near Columbus, Ohio. The unit blends new furniture with a carefully selected antique piece, plush furnishings, a smart lock for keyless entry, and a private entrance, giving it a boutique-apartment feel rather than a traditional hotel setup. Smart-home touches like a smart thermostat and smart TV add modern convenience throughout.
Rooms & Comfort
The bedroom features a queen-size Serta mattress, plenty of pillows, and a desk for anyone needing a quiet spot to work. The living room includes a flat-screen smart TV loaded with Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming apps (note: cable is not provided). Central air conditioning and heating keep the space comfortable year-round, and exterior security cameras at the front and back doors add a layer of monitored safety.
Kitchen & Practical Amenities
The full kitchen is equipped with pots, pans, dishes, silverware, a Keurig coffee maker, and an oven with a gas range, plus coffee and tea stocked for guests, making extended or self-catered stays easy. A washer is available for guest laundry (coin-operated communal machines in the building basement), along with an ironing board for freshening up clothes before heading out.
Parking & Access
Each stay includes one dedicated parking space on a rear parking pad, with additional free street parking available in front of the building. The smart lock allows for smooth, contactless check-in and check-out, and the private entrance adds convenience and privacy.
Location & Dining
The apartment sits in the lively, walkable Grandview Heights neighborhood, just a two-minute walk from a Starbucks on the corner and steps from an array of restaurants, bars, and cafes, including Blackbird Kitchen, Taj on Fifth, Yogi's Bar & Grill, Grandview Cafe, and Local Cantina Grandview. Multiple bus stops sit within a few hundred meters, and Ohio State University, the Convention Center, Nationwide Arena, COSI, and John Glenn Columbus International Airport are all a short drive or rideshare away.
Best for
This property suits leisure travelers, couples, and solo guests who want a walkable, cafe-lined neighborhood with easy access to restaurants, bars, and coffee shops just steps from the door. It's also well suited to pet owners and those seeking a self-catering stay, thanks to the pet-friendly policy, full kitchen, and in-unit washer. Its proximity to Ohio State University, Nationwide Arena, and the Convention Center makes it convenient for visitors attending campus events, concerts, or downtown conventions.
Travel tips
Guests without a car can rely on nearby bus stops (the closest just 175m away) or Bird/Lime scooters and Uber/Lyft to reach OSU, downtown Columbus, or Nationwide Arena. The dedicated parking pad and free street parking make arriving by car straightforward, but note the coin-operated laundry in the basement requires $1.50 per wash and dry (detergent and dryer sheets are provided). Since John Glenn Columbus International Airport is about 12km away, budget time for the drive or rideshare to and from flights.
