It's a nice small apartment with some character in a great part of the city. Check in could have been a bit easier, I didn't get a door code at first and the older door was tricky to work with at first. Resolved after a few minutes however and was fine for the rest of the stay.

5/5 – Absolutely Perfect Stay!Our stay at this property was nothing short of amazing. It truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, beautifully maintained, and exactly as pictured (if not better!). The home was stocked with thoughtful touches and amenities that made it feel welcoming and comfortable right away.The location was perfect..quiet, convenient, and close to everything we needed. The host went above and beyond with communication, providing clear instructions and quick responses to any questions. It’s rare to find a rental that checks all the boxes, but this one really did.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely return without hesitation. Highly recommend to anyone considering this property. You won’t be disappointed!

The Jungle room was wonderful. Everything Was neat and clean. It was well in walking distance to stores, restaurants, and other popular places. The hosts made sure we had all our questions/concerns answered BEFORE we arrived. The check in/checkout process was seamless. It was easy to access and parking was close and convenient. I will definitely try these hosts when we return to Columbus.
