Beautifully decorated, clean property. Host is helpful and communicative. Location is convenient to a variety of restaurants. However, the location did happen to have “outside people” congregating around the door rather frequently.

Cute apartment in the short north
Apartment is accurately shown in the listing and the owner was phenomenal in their response when the door code did not work. But four things to note: 1. The bathroom is older and fixtures worn. Still works and was very clean. 2. Exterior entrance to the building is between two smoke shops and had homeless people blocking it when I arrived. Leaving in the morning I stepped through trash and broken glass from someone’s meal. 3. Owner has really considerate additions to the flat to help visitors deal with noise from the bustle and energy of the Short North. After you’re done enjoying the area for dinner and shopping, you have fans, earplugs and a white noise machine to help you leave it behind and get a good night’s sleep. 4. The free included parking is permit controlled on-street parking. If you are not comfortable leaving your vehicle on the street in the neighborhood (I wasn’t) there are several parking garages within a 10-min walk that are more secure (for a price).

Quick stay for a show at the Summit Music Hall
We stayed for one night while in town for a concert. The location was as described, communication was on point, it was very clean, was a fun atmosphere. The only challenge is parking but they gave good instructions to elimate any confusion .

Inaccurate listing
The listing states that it sleeps 6 people but it does not. There is only 1 bed and 1 futon. It sleeps 3 people at the most.
Location is the best. Close to downtown and on a street full of resturaunts you can walk to.
