More info below!
We’re available to our guests by email, phone, or text. As longtime locals, we know the neighborhood inside and out and truly care about our community. If you need anything or have questions, just reach out—we’re happy to help!
The Short North Arts District is one of the Midwest’s best kept secrets. There is a huge variety of unique shops, bars and restaurants, and art galleries along High Street and a number of annual events that take place year-round. We have a thorough list of recommendations in the house to local bakeries, cafes, and restaurants.
The Short North is made up of several historic neighborhoods; this home is located in Weinland Park, a cool, urban area on the East side of High St above 5th Ave. Weinland Park still has its edgy, up-and-coming vibe- there is a lot of construction and development still underway, real estate is hot here despite its sometimes worn look. You will see a lot of renovated homes as well as ones not-yet-touched. The neighborhood is home to a mix of young professionals and families. This apartment is in walking distance to High Street and N. 4th Street coffee shops, restaurants, and bars!
IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE?
We live nearby and feel the neighborhood is relatively safe, but it can feel a bit intimidating if you are not use to city living. Please note this is the city- we do have petty crime in the Short North and University area, and always advise to practice not leaving valuables in your car (we have not had any issues at our apartments, I state this because we are in the city) and walk with a buddy at night on well-lit, busy roads such as High Street, Summit, and 5th Ave.
Near the following:
• Restaurants- The Table, Condados, Fox in the Snow, Basil
• Bars & breweries- Seventh & Son, North High Brewing, Brother Drakes
• Grocery stores- Kroger & Giant Eagle Market Fresh (Third Ave, Grandview)
• Fitness gyms- Cross Fit, Short North Fitness, Thank Yoga
Guest Access
You’ll have full access to your side of the duplex as well as the fenced backyard. Please note that the backyard and parking area are shared with the neighboring unit.

Welcome to Your Home Away From Home
Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a bright, open living and dining area. The dining table and living room each seat up to 6 guests, and the living room features what we like to call the world’s comfiest leather couch. A smart TV (no cable) is ready for you to log in to your favorite streaming accounts.
Toward the back of the home, the fully stocked kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, including cookware, utensils, and small appliances. We’ve also provided some staples—olive oil, salt, pepper—as well as a coffee maker with coffee, teas, creamer, and sugar to get your mornings started.
For your convenience, there’s a washer and dryer located in the unfinished basement (accessed through the kitchen/dining area).
Enjoy a cup of coffee on the front or back porch, or head into the shared fenced backyard, complete with a grill for outdoor cooking.
Upstairs, you’ll find three cozy bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed, plus a full bathroom with a walk-in shower.

About the host
Hosted by Rowe Rentals

Mike and Ingrid met in Japan and moved to Columbus in 2009 and have been loving it ever since! They are both experienced travelers & love renovating historic homes. It seemed natural to combine their hobbies of traveling and renovating- so they started hosting in 2015. Hello Rowe Rentals! Our team, Frances, Ingrid, and Mike, knows quite a bit about the Short North and are pleased to help you during your stay-please contact Rowe Rentals for any questions!
Why they chose this property
We love old buildings and this one is no exception- it was built around 1910. Unfortunately the only historic parts left of the house interior are the pine wood floors (which are great!)... the rest of the house has been fully renovated.
What makes this property unique
Please note the following about our apartments: Our homes range from 97 to 135 years old. If you are in search of a perfect, flawless place to stay, you may want to look for newer build. We love being hosts- providing a home to stay in and delivering a unique experience when visiting this city but please keep in mind this is not a 5 star hotel, it’s a home.
