The Neighborhood:

For family, friends and visitors, German Village is also a home away from home. That’s because you don’t have to live in German Village to feel like you belong here. Whether you are interested in community services, historic preservation and architecture, neighborhood events, or where to shop and dine, German Village has something for everybody.



UNIQUE URBAN DESIGN

A highway bridge over Interstate 70 is all that separates the German Village Historic District from downtown Columbus, but as one looks east from the interstate, the difference between old and new is glaring. A 20+ story structure sits just north of the interstate bridge, and just south, in German Village, no structure is higher than three stories. Five blocks south, the spire of St. Mary Church stands 197’ off the sidewalk and towers over everything around it. Structures and sidewalks are orange masonry, and many streets (about half) are still brick pavers.



German Village does not have a recreated sense of history or kitschy Bavarian feel ~ rather, it is a neighborhood with architecture dating from the 1840s-1890s that has been preserved, and its use as a shared residential and commercial neighborhood has been maintained. People walk to their destinations, park on the street due to the overwhelming absence of driveways, and live life at a very pedestrian level. The neighborhood is extremely dense ~ very often only inches separate neighboring structures, and many structures were built for multi-family use. German Village is notably different because its appearance has changed so little.



Getting Around:

German Village is a walkable neighborhood with many shops, restaurants, entertainment options and coffee shots not far from the property. If you are traveling by car, parking is also available. The home's location provides easy access to downtown, the Greater Columbus Convention Center, The Ohio State University, Easton Town Center and so much more, all within a short drive. Ride sharing services and scooters (both with charges set by the operators) are also another convenient option to get around town.



Other Things to Note:

The home is located in a quiet residential area. Parties or unauthorized guests are not allowed and may result in termination of your stay. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.



Interaction with Guests:

We offer support during your entire stay. You can either contact us via the airbnb app, or by cell phone which will be provided after check-in.
