Exploring the Urban Jungle

The description of The Urban Jungle was spot on. It was very clean, and many thoughtful additions were surprising to encounter. We brought a small package of coffee, but we were able to use the supplied Local Coffee. The pans, plates, and silverware were high quality. You could feel the thoughtfulness throughout the whole location. We enjoyed our visit and would stay here again in the future.

My husband, teenage daughter & I stayed here for my son's graduation from Ohio State. We love the Short North & this house is located in a perfect spot, a few blocks off High near great restaurants and shops. The beds are amazing, the house is spotless, & communication was great. The plants are really beautiful and give such a warm feeling to the house. I used the kitchen to prepare snacks & had everything I needed. Guests should pay attention to the description about the stairs to get into the house and steep stairs to access the bathroom & bedrooms. The third-floor stairs were uncomfortably steep for me, but my daughter was ok with them.

My husband and I arrived at 5pm in the evening and were exhausted after a 3 hour drive. We didn't find the furniture very comfortable or relaxing. The living room sofa was too wide and the pillows on it were too small for back support. The swinging chair is not a type chair you can relax in because it does not have back support. We had a pizza delivered and the table had bar stools, without backs, which weren't very comfortable. The place is decorated very cute but it's not practical for older adults.

Beautiful, cozy apartment

Had a quick visit to Columbus and this was a perfect stay. convenient location to downtown and OSU. beautifully well lit and felt like home. There were no closets available in the bedroom for storage, and the two downstairs were locked. So, that would be challenging for a longer stay or with the family.

Beautiful, relaxing house in walking distance to Short North

I was really impressed with the location of this one, you can walk to restaurants, bars and coffee shops in the Short North from the house. The decorating and all the plants are so beautiful and fun!! The third top finished attic level is great, but the AC had a hard time keeping it cool in 90+ summer heat. Feels like a retreat, safe haven.

Great Communication and no hassles

The property was very fun and felt like a retreat. It was a little pricey, however, I’m grateful we were able to book a house for one night and it’s a great walkable area with good food. Also, Italian village has some unique older homes like this one and it was definitely recently updated. The communication was amazing and made the check in and check out process super easy. No hassles!

Incredible stay in Jungle House

We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Jungle House! Beautiful space - looks exactly like the photos. Plenty of room for all four guests and the location cannot be beat. Would definitely recommend staying here, the host was incredibly easy to communicate with and replied in a very timely manner. We only stayed for one evening, but I would definitely stay here for longer, or for an evening if I was in Columbus again! The only thing to note would be that the checkout time was 10 a.m., and this was just a little earlier than we had hoped for (however a late checkout option is available for a fee).

Very Nice

Loved the vibe this older home has. You can tell Sergio has thought of every detail from the junglehouse theme decor down to the local coffee in the kitchen and everything in between. Most comfortable bed I've slept in by far in any vacation rental. Felt safe in the neighborhood and was within walking distance to local shops, restaurants, and Goodale Park. Only downfall were the steps and a second floor only bathroom, but nothing that can really be done about that! Our labrador comfortably stayed with us as well.

The host is easily the best host I’ve ever stayed with. He is reachable by text, and promptly responds; he checks in throughout your stay to ensure that everything is going well. The property is gorgeous, spacious, and modern. Located just a few steps from the Short North dining and bar area, but with none of the noise that comes from being closer to that street. The building is a duplex, and you can hear the neighbors moving about. HOWEVER, the host provides fans and white noise machines … so this mitigated much of that issue, and the noise was no worse than staying in a regular hotel. If your a light sleeper, just bring earplugs, or take the upstairs bedroom. AND, the host provided local coffee for the machine, detergent, free samples of cereal, little treats to snack on, and so many other kind touches - I truly felt like I was staying in a resort. I was in town for a seven day conference, and this VRBO made it feel like I was at home. Book now!

Short North

The area was great. Check in was a little rough. We paid extra to checkin an hour early. However, when we arrived the code wouldn’t let us in and they finally let us in remotely after 10 minutes. Then I had checked my emails and had an email saying hey we cleaned it a little early so check in early at 3 which was the time we had to pay for so that was odd. We ended up being a little late to an event because of this because we were traveling from out of town. Also, the plants and everything are super nice but I think it is so you don’t notice things like large holes in the floors, huge staples sticking out of the floors, no door to the one bedroom (would’ve been nice to know), no blinds or curtains on windows and the blinds in the bathroom were broken. It was quite the facade for the price and extra fees we had to pay. Parking was also not the easiest as it was on like an alley street with only two spots with multiple houses.
