This particular unit holds an exceptional 4.93 rating from 121 reviews. The listing is pet-friendly and smoke-free, offering a full residential setup rather than a traditional hotel room.
Rooms & Layout
The bungalow sleeps up to 6 guests across 2 bedrooms, making it suited to small groups or families traveling together. A crib is available for younger children, and the unit includes a private balcony and patio for outdoor relaxation.
Amenities
In-unit conveniences include a full kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, plus an ironing board, air conditioning, and heating for year-round comfort. Guests also have access to cable TV, free Wi-Fi, an outdoor grill for cooking outside, and free private parking on site -- a notable perk in the busy Short North/Downtown area.
Dining & Surroundings
The property sits within a two-minute walk of numerous dining options, including Press Grill, Bakersfield Short North, Forno Kitchen + Bar, 698 Restaurant, Brassica in the Short North, The Pearl, The Guild House, and Arch City Tavern, giving guests an exceptional variety of American, Mediterranean, and bar-and-grill choices without needing a car.
Location & Access
The bungalow is within a short walk of Columbus's High Street corridor and multiple bus stops, including N High St & Warren St just 90 meters away, making it easy to reach the Convention Center, Ohio State University, and Nationwide Arena. John Glenn Columbus International Airport is roughly 9.8 km away, a quick drive from the property.
Best for
This property suits small groups, families with children (including pets), and visitors attending events at Nationwide Arena or the Convention Center, thanks to its 2-bedroom layout, crib availability, and pet-friendly policy. It's also a strong fit for travelers who want a walkable, restaurant-dense neighborhood while still having free private parking, a rarity in the Short North/Downtown core.
Travel tips
Take advantage of the free private parking on site, since street parking in the Short North/Downtown area can be limited. The nearest bus stop, N High St & Warren St, is only about 90 meters away, giving easy access to OSU, the Convention Center, and Nationwide Arena without driving. Most dining options are within a 2-3 minute walk, so plan to explore the High Street corridor on foot.

The host's booking guarantee is also mentioned as reassuring, giving guests confidence that check-in would go smoothly. No recurring negative themes appear in the available excerpts.
