Couldn't tell you. The host double-booked the space. When I went the property at my check-in time I found another family had been there the past 5 days and would be staying through until 2 days after our intended stay. The owner lied when I contacted them stating there was a maintenance issue and we wouldn't be able to stay. Still waiting for our full refund. Not to mention the last minute scrambling we had to do to find alternate accomodations at the last second. Super unhappy.

Enamored!
I didn’t have to wait to complete this review! What can’t I say about this listing. 1st of all Sarah was very attentive to any questions we had which weren’t many and she was easily reachable. The instructions for check in and out were very easy and clear. Now the unit. OMG it was beautiful. The beds were super comfy. The space was cozy and inviting. We could tell Sarah out in her time and heart on this listing! The location is near many wonderful landmarks and in a good spot to reach many attractions in a decent amount of time. She had complimentary items like water and coffee and popcorn for your usage. It was overall just a great listing! Definitely will return here anytime we need a home away from home in Columbus!
