The house was cute, the stairs are steep but overall great house! Location was wonderful tons of esting and drinking places and park was a quick walk away.
We were in Columbus for a long weekend and to see the Buckeyes play. This is a great location--right in the heart of German Village. Everything is walkable, safe, and lovely. Would definitely stay here again!
Perfect for weekend in Columbus and lots of bars/restaurants easily within walkable distance. Kayla was great and super responsive. Would totally stay again when back in Columbus.
This was close to a lot of great places to eat. We enjoyed walking around the beautiful neighborhood and felt very safe walking to nearby restaurants and shops. The host was very pleasant and prompt with everything that we needed.
Property was clean & comfortable. Perfect amenities for my teen daughter and I for the weekend. Street parking was convenient, as advertised. Would recommend! Just a short 6 minute drive to the convention center which was our main reason for being in town.
Had a great time in the German village at this location lots of stuff within walking distance with a friendly environment.
The house was very clean and tidy.
This was a excellent property, conveniently located in German Village. The property owner was responsive and pleasant to work with. We would definitely come back!
This adorable place literally feels like home. Everything is spotless and smells fresh. The owners are incredibly thoughtful about the smallest details.
Property was walking distances to all of the fun German village locations! Street parking was ok seeing we always had somewhere within a 1/2 block to park. House was clean and comfortable. Top of stairs, by bathroom, you have to be extra mindful of them. Excellent stat!
Every thing was very nice and well kept. The only downside was the lack of close parking. Could use more than one hand towel and a clothes bar would be nice in the bathroom.
Came for OSU football and visit our son at college.
This place is quaint and more than adequate. Very clean and met all our basic needs. The area has many places within short walking distance including food, pubs, treats, etc. Public park two blocks away. Felt very safe within the neighborhood and residents were both friendly and engaging. Will try to book this site when visiting Columbus again.
This house is in a great location in the German Village; walkable to nearly everything! We had everything we needed for a short stay. I would caution anyone with mobility issues that the only bathroom and bedrooms are upstairs. This being an old house the stairs are very steep and narrow.
This cute little apartment was in a perfect location within the German Village. All the quaint German Village shops and restaurants were in walking distance, and the dog-friendly, beautiful Schiller Park was only 2 short blocks away. Parking on Whittier Street was never a problem. The steps are indeed quite steep, and we were a little worried about walking too far toward the stairs instead of the bathroom at night, so we kept one light on over the sink at night, which helped. Our pup enjoyed the little fenced-in yard.
From booking to check out the entire stay was an absolute pleasure. Situated two blocks from Schiller Park in the heart of German Village, one can hardly beat the location for culture and walkability. Check-in was entirely automated and worked perfectly. The house was very clean and exactly as advertised. Our host provided all the amenities one would expect, from soap and towels in the bathroom to coffee and tea in the kitchen. Though parking was only on-street, I never had a problem finding a convenient spot. I would not hesitate to rent this property again the next time I am in town.
Clean rental with some thoughtful touches. Easy check in/out. Less than posh towels, bedding and decor. Stairs and top of stairs dangerous if not fully engaged. Great location. Would not stay in again because of encumburance of stairs and the only bathroom being on second floor.

In town wedding stay.
Unfortunately, there were several electrical issues over the course of our stay which impacted our ability to have access to get ready for our events, as well as loss of all the food we had in the refrigerator and freezer, unbeknownst to us until it was too late. It would have been a good gesture if the host would have given some form of credit for this issue, but this was not offered or provided.

The circuit breaker was tripped, but it was quickly reset. We always aim to make our guests happy, comfortable, and exceed their expectations. Unfortunately, we couldn't address this issue during the stay since we weren’t informed until checkout. We would have done everything possible to remedy any issues if we were aware.
