Great Location

The check-in process was a little rough, but after we gained access to the property, we were very happy. The apartment was clean and spacious. There was a lot of noise on Saturday from the restaurants below, but it wasn't too bad.

Great Spot in Columbus

This was a great property in Columbus. Perfect for our stay. Comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. Very close to all of the great restaurants and shops on Broadway. Only complaint would be, some of the neighbors and downstairs businesses can be loud at night.

Walk around Columbus

This property was very quaint and unique. It was within walking distance (2 blocks) of the main street that had many shops, restaurants and bars. The restaurants downstairs were very nice as well, of you tired from exploring the Riverwalk. It was nice to feel like a local, and Jessica made us feel just like that. Two thumbs up and we will be returning again soon. Thank you Jessica for making this trip hassle-free and we enjoyed the unique qualities of the rental!

Super cool downtown loft

Miss Jessica is so nice and very accommodating, checking in was an absolute breeze. The loft is located in historic downtown Columbus and very near to the historic Courthouse/Post Office, you can easily walk to most historic destinations and the RiverWalk is but perhaps 3 blocks from this location. Something to know is this loft is in a building that was built in 1925 so, keep in mind that you might hear a little bit of street noise but not all that bad. Will most definitely stay here again, if you have any questions Miss Jessica will be more than happy to assist you.

Easy walk to Uptown Columbus

We had a great time staying at this property. It is indeed right in the heart of Columbus. Parking isn’t easy Uptown and once we parked the car in front of the property we didn’t move it until we departed. This is an upstairs unit, over a French pastry market. One block over is a small neighborhood bodega and several small restaurants along the street. Saturday we walked down to the outdoor market on Broadway. Lunch was at The Mix. Dinner and entertainment at The Loft. Can’t wait to visit again.

The apartment is in a great location and close to restaurants and shops, which was nice. It is also close to the river. There are a few things about our stay that could be improved for future guests. Typically, we receive check-in information 24 hours ahead of time so we know where we're going, the parking situation, etc.; however, we only received this information 30 minutes before our stay after messaging and calling the owner as well as having to call VRBO, who then had to call the owner. This made it stressful on our way there as we weren't sure if we were going to have the necessary information by the time we got there (which was after the listed check-in time). The apartment is spacious enough, likely best for 2 guests. It could be cleaner as a couple of the towels were visibly dirty and the trashcan had a very strong odor. There was also a half used small hotel bottle of lotion. It would be helpful if the owner left a manual with information for guests as well, particularly for the thermostat. We were not able to find the thermostat anywhere, then had to message the owner because the air blows right on the head of the bed all night. However, we were never able to get the information because of VRBO blocking their email address (used for log in) through messaging, so we could never adjust the air. Also, there was a microwave but not a single microwave-safe dish. Overall, a good location, but could use several improvements to make for a better experience.

Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that aspects of your stay didn’t meet expectations, particularly regarding the A/C in the master bedroom. For clarity, the main living area and the master bedroom have separate cooling zones. The main living space has its own temperature control because the large windows and abundant sunlight can cause temperature fluctuations throughout the day. In contrast, the master bedroom is set to maintain a consistent 72° — it's located in the back of the home and tends to stay cool. This setup has worked well for previous guests, and we've never received complaints about airflow direction or temperature there. We did attempt to share login information so you could adjust the settings, but unfortunately, VRBO's system blocked that message. It's also worth noting that VRBO provides guests with the host’s direct phone number after booking. Had we been contacted directly, we would have gladly helped resolve the issue in real time — we truly care about guest comfort and satisfaction. Regarding check-in, our system confirms the information was sent at 3:19 PM, prior to the 4:00 PM check-in time. When we have a same-day turnover, we typically send check-in instructions closer to the arrival time to ensure the property is ready. We’re genuinely disappointed to receive a 2-star review, especially knowing we could have assisted if given the chance. Reviews are very important to us, and we always strive to create a 5-star experience. Thank you again for staying with us, and we wish you the best in your future travels.

About the host

Host profile image

I was born and raised in Columbus GA. I recently returned after 22 years away and now share my time between Columbus and Tampa.

Why they chose this property

The location of this property is my favorite thing about it. I'm a block away from Broadway so the noise of the hustle and bustle and partying is not an issue.

What makes this property unique

The views from the window and ability to go to any of the 4 restaurants on either side of me makes this a winner.
