About this property

Newly Updated: Nearby Short North / OSU!

  • Newly Renovated House located in Weinland Park with 2 off-street parking spaces (additional *free* street parking out front). Great Location within walking/scooter/uber distance of Short North & OSU. Very convenient location yet private enough where it's quiet in the evening when you want to sleep.

    We spent time focusing on what would make your stay the most comfortable, entertaining and enjoyable :)

    Completely renovated in 2020, this modernized single family home has been outfitted with the latest amenities, features, mechanicals, HVAC and window treatments.

    We have a very comfortable TV-room couch which is an L sectional, sturdy enough to sleep on. This room has a large wall mounted television connected to Roku and utilizes the home's high speed internet for any streaming platform you utilize and that Roku can provide.

    We also have a vintage reading couch in the other living room. In this room, we have -a vintage Pacman arcade - a large retro connect 4 game
    -giant floor checkers
    -other retro and popular games for guests to enjoy
    -a vinyl record player with bluetooth speaker with assorted vinyl records guests can play
    -a guitar, tambourine and even a cow bell free for guests to carefully jam out on ;)
    -various children’s toys ranging from a wooden car track set, toy cars, children’s books and other fun items for any kiddos you have with you!
    -also supplied is a desk with lamp and chair perfect for the work-from-home/road traveler.

    All lamps in the bedrooms and office are equipped with USB and 110V power connections for your convenience in charging your various devices while you stay (no need to search for outlets in this home!).

    The kitchen is equipped with the modern essentials for cooking and dining-in (guests who plan to cook must provide their own food/groceries). We also provide a Keurig Coffee maker which takes K-Cups.

    We provide bathroom essentials including guest shampoo, conditioner, body soap and body lotion. Bath towels, wash towels and hand towels provided.

    We have a dining area as well with a dining table and chairs. Enjoy the custom chalkboard wall and leave us a note on your way out! Enjoy family fun or learning time!

    Outside on the rear patio please enjoy the outside seating and fenced in backyard. Complete with dusk-to-dawn string lights and a fire-pit. Guests that intend to use the fire-pit should plan to provide their own wood (can be sourced from local stores).

We stayed here for the Speedo Summer Sectionals held at OSU. The property was about a 7 minute drive to the campus pool. Very close to restaurants, stores, etc etc. The parking on site was very convenient. My son enjoyed the pac-man machine as well.

Better space than a hotel

The house is exactly as described it’s very clean and updated. We came into Columbus for a family baby shower and this was a perfect spot for us. The house had tons of games to play and spaces to hang out and do different things. Check in was easy and any questions I had before the trip the owner was quick to respond. We would stay here again.

Fabulous stay

I booked the property to drop my first off at college. It was a wonderful place to stay! Everything we needed (my teenage son loved the video games!) and so close to everywhere we wanted to go. Latasha was an exceptional host, kind, gracious, and so responsive to any question! We definitely plan on going back!

OSU Football

Weekend visit to see our daughter and attend the OSU/MN football game. Great location, we walked to the stadium and our daughters house. Stayed in the house with another couple and it was perfect. Lots of room, fun games and very clean.

Great for a weekend away

We enjoyed our stay. Great central location. Very clean and instructions were clear. A few drawbacks: limited kitchen supplies (glasses, bowls for food prep, serving dishes), outside furniture was a bit worn. Neighborhood was reasonably quiet given the central location but definitely want to keep cars locked. Overall a good experience with very responsive host.

Perfect!

We came to Columbus for the first time for a wedding. We had a group of 6 adults. This house was perfect for us! The bedrooms and beds were super comfortable. The house had everything we needed and more. We thoroughly enjoyed the record collection and playing Pac-Man. The location was also perfect. We walked to Fox in the snow cafe, and were able to walk home from the wedding. 10/10 would stay again and highly recommend!

Really nice place - lots of fun activities and well kept. Good location, close to lots of cbus fun. Owner was SUPER responsive to inquiries, replying almost instantly with high quality help - best in class owner support. Insta-carted batteries!!! Arcade game was sublime. Try and beat our Pinball Action game scores. We’ll go back whence we are in cbus again.

Fun place for kids

We had two adults staying at the home. Comfortable and clean accommodations, great parking. My grandchildren visited during the day—we played multiple games of Buckopoly. The pinball machine was a winner. We planned to cook there which was a bit less convenient. There were no storage dishes or bags or limited spices except salt & pepper. Fortunately my daughter lived close by &, with the groceries we bought, could bring what we needed to serve & prepare meals. All in all, great location.

Perfect Location Perfect House

This property was exactly as described and was in the perfect location for our travelling to Columbus. The house was exactly as described. Three bedroom, renovated kitchen and bathroom. Our weather was a little to cold to sit outside and enjoy the front porch or the back porch but definitely would have taken advantage of these two porches if the weather permitted. I had a quick question regarding the property and received an immediate answer from the property owner. Excellent stay and would recommend this house!

White coat ceremony and proposal

This location was perfect for a white coat ceremony at OSU. Followed by a proposal and celebratory champagne drink on the front porch. All the instruments were used in the celebration!!! Of course the men loved the Pac-Man.

Great house close to OSU

My family was in town so my son could tour Ohio State. The house is about .5 miles from the Gateway area. The house is great. The neighborhood is quiet. My kids loved the arcade and the record player. The house is well updated. We had a small issue getting into the property. Our code didn’t work but that was quickly fixed. We enjoyed staying at this house and would stay here again.

Comfy & homey

My husband and I were taking our boys to their first OSU game! I found this perfect gem within walking distance to the stadium! The walk itself took about 39 minutes but most of the walk was through town and campus, so PLENTY of cool places/restaurant's to check out! As for the gem, as soon as we walked in it felt very inviting and homey! Of course the vintage arcade game was a huge hit, but enjoyed most of the games. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of linen, blankets if needed! We are already planning another trip down to Columbus and will absolutely stay at this gem again! Thank you so much for your hospitality!!

Quarter Horse Congress

Everything was pretty much as expected. Very quiet neighbors hood. Amenities available were nice. Would of have enjoyed taking a bath to ease achy muscles after riding horses all day but they pulled the drain plug so you can only take showers. Only thing else would of liked to have was a iron and ironing board available to iron our show clothes that were wrinkled in transport.

Very Bad neighborhood and loud

Talking with the property manager was great. I will give them that. Other than that the neighborhood is pretty rough. The neighbor themselves have tarps and random pieces of plywood up for a fence with giant gaps in it and at least 5 beware of dog signs ( I never personally seen the dog, but if it was outside, it could’ve easily just strolled out of the backyard right where you have to park. By the way, there is trash everywhere in the alley where you have to park and a train track maybe 50 yards from the house on the same side as the bedroom you WILL hear trains all night long I didn’t hardly sleep at all. They show a lot of games and things you can play there but half of them are broken or missing pieces. There is almost no kitchenware. It looks like a landlord special where they think if they paint over everything, it makes it look new and nice.. If you’re just staying in town one night for an OSU game I guess this wouldn’t be a bad choice , but if you’re visiting for a whole week, skip this one.you will be disappointed
