We really liked this house. It is well done and a perfect size for 2-4 people and a dog. Great dog walking area too. Good location to get around Columbus as well. Good kitchen, good eating areas. Bathrooms and shower all very good. Would stay again.

Beautful home in a great location
Beautiful little space to relax, walk to the park with the dog and decompress after moving son into OSU.
Great property and communications. Super easy all along the way.
Wish the patio furniture outside would have been per the listing, but it was just a table and chairs instead.
Otherwise grest

WOW!
WOW! This was the best rental experience I have ever had. The location is unreal. The house is set in the most beautiful and peaceful neighborhood and then it is just a short walk to the best coffee shops, shopping, and restaurants in town. This location is also ideal for game days! The communication with the owners and manager was seamless and smooth. The location and the communication really set this place apart from others. You could tell they give extra thought and attention to each comfort of their guests. The house itself is immaculate. The interior design and furniture is top of the line and is so gorgeous and comfortable. You feel like you are in a magazine but it also feels right at home! The amenities are also well thought out from the shower dispensers to the toiletries provided. The house is exactly as pictured and is even more beautiful in person. It was so spotlessly clean as well. I can't recommend this enough!
