Sweet Stay in Short North!

This home was perfect for family of 5 with 3 adult children! Close to everything on High St., easy parking, plenty of space and equipment for cooking and dining and a nice outdoor space in the backyard. And quite quiet despite location near busy arts and entertainment area. Hope we will get to stay here again!

The house was comfortable with easy access, including off street parking. A great coffee house and High Street within easy walking distance. A few essentials were missing when we arrived, eg toilet paper for all the bathrooms, kitchen sponge etc, but the hosts promptly suppled the necessaries.

Perfect location

This is our third time booking this sweet house. It's perfectly located to easily access OSU, downtown, and the interstate for other destinations. The neighborhood is walkable and close to grocery, restaurants, and bars. Private parking is wonderful, and public transportation is easy to access if you don't have your own vehicle. We'll be back next time we're in Columbus!

Host was very responsive and included helpful information. Our kids didn't want to leave and we would definitely book again!

Perfect rental for our 3 couples looking for somewhere to stay for a big concert weekend. We spent most of our time while we were here enjoying the common spaces as a group including the awesome backyard. This was a very nice experience all around and I will look to rent this property again when visiting Columbus.

Great weekend stay in Columbus

We had a wonderful long weekend at Catherine and Bryan’s home in the Short North this past weekend. Their home is clean, comfortable and well stocked. The location of the house was perfect and it was easy to park right behind the house. We felt right at home with a comfortable living room including games, and cozy spaces to relax and enjoy time together. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again!

Our Favorite Place

Third time here, already looking to book again. We love coming to Columbus. This house is in the best location, with parking and the hosts are the most! The house is older with aged charm, but very comfortable with modern amenities. We walk practically everywhere but even our other interest, such as Franklin Park or the Art Museum are just a quick car ride. Not an issue, because we have our reserved parking right at the house. Thanks again Cathrine & Bryan! We will be talking soon.
