Once completed, your arrival instructions will be sent right to you.

Great place to stay!

I definitely recommend staying at this property! This house is just a few blocks from the Short North strip of bars and restaurants, so if night life is your thing then you should totally consider staying here. The house was clean, cozy, and most importantly felt safe to stay in. If I’m ever back in the area I’ll definitely be checking to see if this house is available!

Comfortable and spacious

The property was very clean and very spacious. My daughter and I were extremely comfortable. My dogs enjoyed the yard. I read a review about rugs but its not true the rugs were very nice. If you're looking for a piece of mind this is the place other than not being told the washer was out of order we had a great stay and will be booking again!!

Good house in a perfect location

We enjoyed staying at this house which is updated with modern conveniences but keeping the charm and character of the Victorian architecture. It is within walking distance of both Ohio State University and downtown. Great restaurants in the North Short district just a few blocks away. Neighborhood is beautiful and felt comfortable walking everywhere we went. Loved the deck to sit on overlooking the quiet street. The host quickly responded to any questions/issues we had once we were in the house. We did experience issues with booking the property, so please be sure to reach out to the host early to ensure your reservation.

Short stay

We had a quick 2 night stay and the house was in a great location close to many amenities. It was a nice property with a fenced in yard for our two small dogs, which is what I was looking for. I was a little unimpressed with the lack of attention to the back yard (grass wasn’t cut) and quite a lot of overgrowth over the fence line. The patio, which had a fire pit, table/chairs, and sofa would’ve been a really nice space to sit and lounge in the evenings had not been kept up, therefore wasn’t a really usable space. The inside of the upstairs apartment was nice and spacious. There were several upgrades to the kitchen and bathroom. I gave the apartment rating 4 stars because I love an old Victorian style home, but the shag carpet in the bedrooms desperately needs removal and the exterior balcony/grounds upkeep needs a lot of work. It definitely met the short stay need and we enjoyed our stay.

Extremely disappointed

My family of 6 plus our dog travelled 16 hours to spend a week at this house. We never got any checkin info from the management company. About an hour before our arrival I got nervous about not being able to access the property. I sent messages, called the company along with 2 emergency phone numbers on file with no answer. I call VRBO and they cannot get in contact with anyone. After we arrived, we sit outside for 45 minutes while being placed back and forth on hold with VRBO. They were finally able to get in contact with someone and were told that they didn’t know why the automatic message was not sent out. We got the code and were able to get in. The description said there was a kitchen with enough supplies to cook for the family. This was Easter and we planned for an Easter meal. There were only 2 pots in the house. No baking pans. Every cooking utensil was plastic. Home was advertised to sleep 9, we disclosed that we were a family of 6. Yet, there was 1 dish towel in the house, 5 bowls, 6 plates, and an assortment of cups. The dishwasher wasn’t even bolted down and would fall forward out of the cabinet if you opened the door. The chairs and bar stools had screws falling out of them and were extremely wobbly. We were supposed to be allowed a guest parking permit but never during our entire stay did anyone reply to a single message that I sent out. We could only pay for 1 hr and 45 min at a time and ended up with an outrageous bill and 1 ticket. I don’t have room to finish
