I traveled to Columbus with my team as we were competing in the Arnold Sports Festival.
Overall, our stay was ok but we had several issues that caused a less than optimal stay. When I booked this house, it was advertised as “free parking on premises”, and when we arrived the host alerted us that only 1 car was allowed to park for free, and I was asked to pay for a street parking permit (an extra $25). The stove in the kitchen is very old and not safe (ie it must be manually lite for the range and the oven). We couldn’t use the oven as it wouldn’t light and we were not provided any instructions on how to use it safely. The listing was advertised as queen beds, but all the beds appeared to be full beds. We were also kept up until 3AM by noisy neighbors (also Airbnb guests). Everyone in the house needed ear plugs.
The host was very communicative and was able to work with us on the parking situation and had updated the listing so that it’s more accurate that only 1 car parks free. Dennis

Great spot if you’re looking for location first. The place has a lot of character. Definitely an older home. Overall it met our groups needs for a short weekend in Columbus! L

This was a great place! I liked the area it was in and it’s close to everything. I liked the vibe of the place and the decorations. The only thing I didn’t like was that there was peeling paint but other than that it was good. There was a confusion about how to confirm the reservation but once I got a hold of the property management, I was able to complete the steps and they were very fast to respond. I would stay here again if I was in the area.
