Your comfort is important to us and we are happy you were 'cozy' in our home. Cleanliness is a big plus in making sure our guests are comfortable. Hope to see you again soon.

The property was as listed. It was a good value for the cost. It was clean and accommodated our purposes very well.The neighborhood was questionable, but we had no problems whatsoever just left us a little uncomfortable as it is different from where we come from. The owners were always very responsive and replied to our increase within 24 hours. We could not get the Wi-Fi to work, but as this did not impact us very much I did not question the owners about it. Overall, it was a very good experience for myself and my granddaughters.

Glad to hear you liked the dinner suggestions! We eat out a lot (so many great options in our hood...) so we know the places that almost guarantee a dining experience. : ) You should NEVER leave Cbus without a great meal...
The home had everything we needed for our trip and was in a great location. It was clean and had plenty of space for my daughter and me. The beds were comfortable as well as the living area. Would stay here again.

Happy your stay was a great experience, and we appreciate your time in reviewing our home. We're here and happy to host on your next visit to Columbus!
My family was in town for a short weekend trip to the zoo and stayed here because of the proximity to restaurants. We were able to walk to several family friendly places and throughly enjoyed the neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again!
This was a great find in Columbus - convenient location, comfy beds, quick communication with the property managers, and had everything we needed for a weekend stay!

Thank you for taking time to review Rowe House Rentals and we are happy to hear you had a great weekend.
We had a great stay here during the all American quarter horse congress. It was close to the fairground and in a safe part of Columbus. The property was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Friday and Saturday night things are a somewhat loud on the street, but that’s to be expected in a college town. The host was very communicative and helpful. They were very accommodating of us having 2 large dually trucks to park, and they were very sweet about our dog staying in the home. Overall a very nice experience.

We’re so happy to hear you had a great stay and that the home was a good fit for your visit to the Quarter Horse Congress. Thank you for being such wonderful guests — you’re welcome back anytime! -Rowe House Rentals Team
The attention to detail and recent upgrades in this quaint home made it very comfortable and the property manager was SUPER responsive and friendly. The proximity to the Short North was fantastic (although, FYI, there is a lot of construction going on there right now).

Thanks so much for the great review and feedback Tami! So sorry about the construction. Unfortunately, in a big city that happens. Hopefully it did not ruin your stay.
Clean, comfortable and conveniently located. Owners were exceptionally responsive. We will definitely stay here again, and would recommend it to anyone visiting Columbus or Ohio State University.

Happy your stay was a pleasant one and we look forward to hosting again in the future.
Enjoyed our stay. Location is convenient to everything we needed. The town house is on a very bust street but noise was minimal inside. The house is very well stocked and beds are very comfortable. It is nice to see revitalization in the area.
This house is great. Cute, clean and located in walking distance to High St. 1 mile from main campus and 1.5+ from stadium. Great check-in / check-out instructions. Parking was easy and felt car was safe. Loved the front porch sitting area. Would stay here again as an alternative to a hotel.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to review Rowe House Rentals, Comfy II. So glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to host again soon.
Christine, Daytime Co-Host
Everything was clean enough, and instructions/communication were all clear. Rating 4 not 5 because the house is in good shape but not excellent, for example you need to be careful on the stairs both inside and outside. Other than that, no complaints.

Thank you for your feedback and for noting the clear communication and cleanliness. We appreciate your comments about the stairs and will keep this in mind for future improvements. Glad to hear you had an overall good stay, and we’d be happy to host you again!
My son and I traveled to a fall vacation in the Columbus area. We enjoyed our experience. The town around the property was so much fun and the property was perfect. The place was clean and easy to access from the front and back door. The layout of the property was great. Thank you for sharing your property! Totally recommend 😊

This house was in a convenient location close to where we needed to be. Several restaurants close by. The high ratings for cleanliness were accurate and the house was comfortable. There were even small considerations such as a sleep sound machine for the bedroom on the street side, and snacks left in the kitchen. I will be renting this house the next time I am in town.

Excellent house, close to Short North attractions, clean, roomy, updated. However, Basement is another rental, a little noisy sometimes, parking limited to 4 spots for both rentals. Rental company very responsive and helpful. Well worth the money.

Thank you, Charles, for your review and hope to host again in the future. We do ask basement renters to be considerate of people in the home and vice versa. We also honor quiet hours from 9pm - 9am.

Clean, modern, and artsy
The property was very clean and in a great location. It had a tv and a/c too. Everything appeared to be well maintained except the bathroom sink, which wasn't draining well, but I'm sure the owners will take care of that and report that here. We hope to stay there again since it was so close to campus and so pleasant.

Thank you Elise for staying with us! And also for bringing the drain to our attention. We ended up replacing the drain because the original manufacture drain did not let enough air in for proper drainage. Thanks!
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 in 1910. Unfortunately the only historic parts left of the house interior are the fireplace tiles and stairs (if you want to count that)- I'm not even sure if the mantels are original... 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.
