Host was quick to respond with details and made the process of check in, check out and everything in between seamless. Home was clean with enough room to stretch out and relax. The site had all amenities as listed. I would definitely stay again. One note: even though the host states it is on a busy street, we were impressed by the quiet neighborhood and never noticed any outside noise.

Thank you so much! We look forward to hosting you again!
This property was ideal. Everything was clean and decor was darling. LOVED the screened in porch. The hosts thought of everything to make it cozy and comfortable. Easy to get to everything and walkable to uptown Westerville. This will be my go to when I’m in town to visit family.
The house was charming and cozy. Ideal location for all the fun things to do in Uptown Westerville. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. They clearly take pride in their adorable property. It was a wonderful stay!!
The Good Place is just as advertised and we enjoyed our stay. The location is very good with easy access to downtown Westerville, quiet and well maintained. The sun porch was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the day! We would stay here again.
Jacob was welcoming and accommodating. Everything was exactly as described. House was super cute and conveniently located near everything we were doing in Columbus area.
My friend and I really enjoyed this property--it was lovely and also a perfect location for our visit. Jacob, the host, could not have been any more responsive and friendly--we really felt well taken care of.

I appreciate you and look forward to hosting you again!!
What a great experience at Jacob and Pami's Vrbo!!! Excellent location! Not too far but far enough away from downtown Westerville. Very clean which is most important for us when looking for a home away from home. And above and beyond in communication and response from the hosts. We will def rebook when back in the area

We appreciate you and look forward to hosting you again!
This was our second stay at the Good Place. I will add to my previous review that, even though the house is on a main through street, we heard very little street noise inside the house and everyone reported that they slept wonderfully.
Headed up to the Columbus area for the Memorial Tournament with some friends. This was great spot, not too far from the course or downtown with a fun interior design that was perfect for us.
This property is clean, beautifully decorated, and has everything you need for an out of town visit to Columbus. The location was great and in a nice neighborhood and the owners were great to work with!

The overall house was beautiful, small and cozy. The owner was very communicative and quick to answer questions. Our stay was very pleasant
We were in town for a short stay during our Son’s spring break. We loved the location and the house. So cozy and fenced area in backyard would be perfect for dogs. Great communication with any questions we had.

Great location with great hosts. Minor question at check in that was quickly resolved and gift card given to Graeters for the minor inconvenience. Being from the area, and coming home and staying at such a great location, made the trip easy and relaxing!!

About the host
Hosted by Jacob Howell
We (Jacob and Pami) live locally with our kids and THE GOOD PLACE has been a dream for a long time.
Jacob loves outside adventures, motorcycling and spending time singing and playing piano with his friends.
Pami loves plants (especially succulents), making old spaces look beautiful, and reading vast amounts of books.
When we have downtime from kids sports and activities, we take our old popup camper to the wonderful state parks in Ohio (and soon beyond).
We hope to host you soon at THE GOOD PLACE!
Why they chose this property
We live locally and absolutely LOVE Westerville. Our town is vibrant and has so much to do, with wonderful dining, drinks, a bike trail (part of the Ohio to Erie Trail), metro park for nature and hiking, lakes, parks, and so much more. It is an extremely family-friendly community and has easy access to all that Columbus, OH has to offer.
What makes this property unique
The vibe at THE GOOD PLACE is like no other. We designed it with extreme attention to detail in the decor, comfort and a supreme guest experience in mind. It is beautiful vibrant, happy, fun, cozy, modern and is walkable to the heart of Uptown Westerville.
