Urban 1BD 1BA Apartment Near OSU
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
This urban 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment sits in Columbus's University District, just minutes from Ohio State University, and is one of only four units in its building. It has been newly remodeled with fresh drywall, updated sinks, a new microwave, and an updated shower, giving it a clean, modern feel for a short-term stay. As an apartment-style rental rather than a full-service hotel, it suits travelers who want a private, self-contained home base.
Unit & Amenities
The apartment features a stocked kitchen with an oven, stove, and microwave, making it easy to prepare meals rather than eat out every night. Air conditioning and heating cover year-round comfort, while an ironing board, free Wi-Fi, and smoke-free interiors round out the practical amenities. The unit is also pet-friendly and includes free parking, a rarity for apartments this close to a major university campus.
Dining Nearby
A wide range of restaurants sit within about a 15-minute walk, including Cluckadoodledoo, First Watch, IHOP, Cafe Zupas, HIGH EATS, Prime Street Food, Mikey's Late Night Slice, Fourth Street Taproom & Kitchen, Ethyl & Tank, and Lola's Tapas Americana. This mix of breakfast spots, bars and grills, and casual restaurants means guests can find a meal option nearly any time of day without needing a car.
Location & Getting Around
The apartment is a short walk from several bus stops, including N 4th St & E 15th Ave (207m) and E 11th Ave & N 4th St (354m), making it easy to reach other parts of Columbus without driving. It's also close to Historic Crew Stadium, Ohio State University, Old North Columbus, the Short North Arts District, the Ohio State Fairgrounds and Ohio Expo Center, COSI, and the Convention Center. John Glenn Columbus International Airport is about 9km away, a roughly 15-20 minute drive.
Best for
This apartment is best suited to travelers attending events at Historic Crew Stadium or visiting Ohio State University, given its few-minutes proximity to both, as well as pet owners thanks to its pet-friendly policy and free parking. It also appeals to guests who prefer cooking their own meals, since the kitchen comes stocked with an oven, stove, and microwave, and to budget-conscious travelers who value free Wi-Fi and free parking in a walkable university neighborhood.
Travel tips
Take advantage of the nearby bus stops on N 4th St and E 11th Ave, both under 400m away, to reach downtown Columbus or campus without a car. Because this is one of only four units in a small residential building, guests should coordinate arrival details directly with the host in advance. If flying in, plan for roughly a 15-20 minute drive from John Glenn Columbus International Airport, and note that on-street parking is free but may require walking a short distance during busy event nights near Crew Stadium.
