Gaming house

This home is perfect for a small family looking for a nice place to stay while visiting family in Columbus. It’s very accommodating for children, keeping them occupied for hours. Very relaxing home in my opinion.

Fun times at the game house

We stayed for 5 days. The house was clean and had lots of extras like board games, snacks, and coffee. We were working a local convention, so we were mostly there to sleep. We did enjoy our few hours in the evenings playing games and cooking a light dinner. The property owner was very responsive to our needs.

Cozy game house

The property was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The only complaint would be it was a little warm in the upstairs bedrooms, was listed as 2 bath and is only 1 1/2 bath and last only park is street parking on driveway. But over all it was a good experience

Very responsive host

We had a pleasant stay at Kay's property. Kay is an exceptionally responsive host, always quick to reply to our messages. She actively checked in on us to ensure everything was going well. The neighborhood initially felt a bit uncertain, but we didn't encounter any issues during our stay. Overall, it was a positive experience, thanks to Kay's attentiveness and care.

Convenient and comfortable

We attended Equine Affaire for 3 days so spent 2 nights and very little time in the house besides that. The beds were comfortable and it was only 3 miles to the event center. The check in process worked very well and Karina was very responsive. The neighborhood wasn't the best and parking is on the street. The description is not accurate: there is one full bathroom and one half bath NOT 2 full bathrooms, it is a 2-story house (not mentioned in the write up) which wouldn't work for elderly people, it states there's a washer and dryer and there isn't either. Other than that it was clean and certainly pleasant enough for the time we spent there.

Nice house. Poor description and communication from the host.

The house is nice. The host did not communicate well or respond to messages sent. The property is listed to have a washer and dryer. It does not. Trash cans didn’t have bags in them se we had to use small bathroom bags throughout our stay. The neighborhood is noisy, but there are several neighbors.

Nice stay in a neighborhood, attentive host.

The house was what we expected from the listing. It was very close to Ohio State Fairgrounds so our commute was simple and straightforward. Neighborhood was overall quiet, parking was on the street but there was always an open spot in front of our house. It's an older neighborhood, but that was not a big concern. Beds were comfy, futon had more room to pull out than the photo led us to believe. LOTS of games and extras which worked great for us in the evenings. We appreciated the extras we had access to... extra bankets, extra towels, toiletries, spices in kitchen etc. We definitely did not need to overpack to be comfortable. Our host was very attentive and prompt with the one request we had above our general questions.

Mother and sons weekend

The house was very nice inside and had everything that was listed in the description. The photos were accurate, and the host provided a welcome basket of some additional games and some snacks. There were also some outdoor games for us to set up and use, which my boys enjoyed. The neighborhood was not the nicest, and a road closure forced us to park in the back alley, with trash strewn everywhere (I understand this was no fault of the host, who has no control of neighbor's trash or roadwork). The grass was not cut, so we didn't end up playing cornhole in the yard like we wanted, but we did enjoy pickleball on the deck. It took a while to get responses from the host, but I see she has great reviews in that area and I assume it was just an off weekend (things happen). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this house and all the lovely games and amenities that it included. One nice touch might be to include some firewood for guests to use the fire pit out back, but we had a very nice stay here and would book again.

Check-in time says 3'oclock, I didn't receive instruction on how to check-in by 2:20p the day of, I sent a message to the host asking if I had missed a message with check-in instruction. Her response was "I do not send check-in instructions until 39 minutes prior." message received at 2:21pm...Not enough toilet paper for 3 guests during a 4-day, 3-night stay, host provided 1 and 1/4 rolls, had to purchase my own TP. 1 hand towel in the whole place. Had to split paper towel between lower bath and kitchen. Smell of cat urine throughout lower level. Lots of stray cats in the backyard.Sliding glass door unsecured upon arrival. A/C running but upstairs windows open during a 94-degree day, unable to cool down the upper level to sleep comfortably the 1st night. Hand soap in both baths was empty, filled them myself. One soap dispenser had old, dried soap caked on the outside and the pump did not work, cleaned that up so it was in working condition. Dishes and utensils were thrown in drawers and cupboards like children did the work.Walked around in my white socks, bottoms were filthy, threw them away. The garbage can in the kitchen was a 30 gallon outside bin, the garbage bags were 13 gallon, had to have our trash bag on the floor. Sketchy location, loud music, suspicious people constantly walking back and forth. Not your kid-friendly neighborhood. Would not recommend, spend 25 more per night and stay in a safer, cleaner neighborhood.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Communication, location
Overall the house was clean and organized. I did have a few instances where the host was not very responsive. The 3 big issues is that the bedrooms are located on the second level. Both rooms were about 85 degrees. I had the ac set at 68 degrees. The bottom level was comfortable but the top level did not cool down at all. The second issue is that the beds are like sleeping on a rock. I had to leave my windows open the entire stay due to the extreme temperature of the room. Every night there was multiple gunshots, sirens, neighbors talking on their back deck at all hours of the night and night racing in front of the house. Overall, I will never stay at this location again. I would have been better off in a Motel 6.
