Short North Industrial Loft - Free Parking!
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
Housed in the former Wonderbread factory building, this remodeled 2-bedroom, 1-bath industrial loft offers a distinctive stay in the Italian Village neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. The unit pairs 20-plus-foot ceilings, exposed brick, and polished concrete floors with modern updates like stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops. It's an unhosted, apartment-style rental well suited to guests who want character and space rather than a standard hotel room.
Rooms & Layout
The loft sleeps guests across two bedrooms and one bathroom, with towels, linens, coffee, and tea provided. A balcony adds outdoor space, while air conditioning and heating keep the industrial-style interior comfortable year-round. The property is smoke-free, with a strict no smoking or vaping policy inside.
Amenities
The loft includes a fully equipped kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, plus a washer, ironing board, cable-connected TV, and free Wi-Fi for guests who need to stay connected or cook their own meals. Free on-site parking is a notable convenience in the Short North area, where street parking can otherwise be limited. The property is also pet-friendly, a rarity among many short-term rentals in the neighborhood.
Location & Dining
Set in the quieter, residential Italian Village, the loft is just minutes from the shops, nightlife, and restaurants of High Street and the Short North. A dense cluster of dining options sits within a half-mile, including Forno Kitchen + Bar, The Guild House, The Pearl, 698 Restaurant, Press Grill, Bakersfield Short North, SoCal Kitchen + Bar, and Arch City Tavern. Several city bus stops are within an easy walk, and John Glenn Columbus International Airport is roughly 9.3 km away.
Best for
This loft suits groups of friends, couples, or small families looking for a characterful, residential-feel base near the Short North's dining and nightlife, thanks to its two bedrooms, full kitchen, and free parking. It also works well for business travelers needing a quiet, private space with Wi-Fi and in-unit laundry rather than a conventional hotel room. Pet owners will also appreciate one of the few pet-friendly options in this trendy Columbus neighborhood.
Travel tips
Free on-site parking is a real advantage here, since street parking near the Short North and Italian Village can be tight. Several bus stops, including one just 107 meters away, make it easy to reach downtown Columbus without a car, and the walkable restaurant row along High Street means dinner reservations are rarely more than a few minutes away. Budget about 15-20 minutes for the drive to or from John Glenn Columbus International Airport.
