About the host

Hosted by Rowe Rentals

Host profile image
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

This 1920s property allowed us just have fun. It didn't require a lot of renovations and the neighborhood is a mix of people- very hip, relaxed area away from the hustle and bustle of the Short North and OSU campus area. The place is very spacious- great for traveling with a large group but having different living spaces to SPREAD out.

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.
