We loved this home, it was beautifully decorated and it was in a great area. We walked home late at night from a concert at the nationwide area and felt perfectly safe. The owner was responsive when there was a small issue I was inquiring about. Would stay here again!

Beautiful Home & Great Neighborhood

This home ranks as my favorite place to stay since I started using VRBO. It was EXACTLY as pictured, and very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. Sergio was very communicative, and responded very quickly. The neighborhood was beautiful and safe, in addition to being within walking distance to the many shops and restaurants in the Short North district. I loved it here and hope to return again!

My friend and I stayed here for a night after a concert. Holy smokes this place is gorgeous! Has everything you need. The house manual is explicit and tells you everything you need to know- step-by-step parking instructions, getting into the place, etc. Sergio is awesome and went above and beyond for our stay. I will definitely book here again.

The house was perfect. It was clean and as pictured in the listing. We loved the soft mattresses and all of the plants. It’s located a walkable distance to a huge park and the restaurants of the short north. We’d love to come back and stay again. Sergio made check in easy and was prompt with any communications.

Fantastic stay!

We had a great weekend getaway at Welcome to the Jungle! It is VERY clean, comfortable, and stylish victorian style home. Everything was described in the house. Sergio was a great owner to work with and very responsive. We had trouble with the keyless entry when we arrived and called him and he showed up two minutes later to help. For the trouble they were so kind and left us a bottle of wine on the porch. Great hospitality! We grabbed dinner on Short North and it was a quick two minute Uber ride. Highly recommend and we hope to return!!

Bungle in the Jungle

Buyer beware - Don't believe a word! My parents stayed here as originally planned, but I had travel delays with my infant. Sleeps two adults comfortably and maybe three children in the sparse, bathroomless attic. No place to eat if you do have more than 2 people there. Seating for four (if you use both rooms). Five minute walk to Short North, not one. Unresponsive if you have an issue (like the kitchen faucet not working). Pretty much a scam. Only got my deposit back because I contacted my bank. They must write their own reviews or pay people to do it. Shady.

Quick Stop in Columbus

We stayed for one night as we attended a concert. The host, Sergio, was super quick to get back to me with my various questions. They offer early check in (1-2 hours) and an extra parking pass for a small fee. The place itself is adorably decorated, lots of plants but upgraded fixtures, furniture, etc (pictures are pretty accurate). Easy street parking outside. Small details made the stay nice such as the master bedroom had three different pillow options (soft, medium, hard), drinks/snacks, night lights and fans in every room. It’s a close ride to the stadium but almost a 3 mile walk so I’d suggest using a ride share service. It’s a quick walk to the high street and he even gave us recommendations of where to eat when we checked in. Check in was smooth as it’s a keyless entry. Overall, we would stay again. The one thing that is slightly confusing is it says it’s a three bedroom but it is actually one bedroom and then the upstairs attic, which is separated into two spaces and has three beds there, four total beds altogether, which ended up working perfectly for our group. Thanks for being a wonderful host, Sergio!

Woke up to no hot water and barely any water pressure in the main bathroom shower. SO - no shower. It’s an old property’s with some nicks and bangs - but it was clean. The over communication was a bit obnoxious - if the water situation was corrected I’d stay again.

Business Stay

I stayed with two colleagues for a business conference at the convention center and this house was a great option that suited our needs well. I'd say the walk to the convention center is closer to 10 minutes, but it is still convenient. The park close by is also enjoyable to get some fresh air. We stayed in September, so the temperatures were good and the house was very comfortable. The beds and linens were all very cozy as well. While this isn't how we normally book business travel, it worked on short notice and we would do this again.
