What a warm and comfortable place! Great set up, clean and unique building and location. It’s set on rather a busy street but you wouldn’t know it. Within a mile walk of restaurants and campus just a bit further.

Perfect in every way
This apartment is well-located in a beautiful neighborhood. You can see from the photos that it is in an older home, and it’s incredibly charming. The hosts provide everything you need and it’s very comfortable (especially the bed, as mentioned in the description). If your car is at all bigger than a Subaru Crosstrek, use the street parking for sure!! Be sure to walk a little bit north to Stauf’s Coffee. I will definitely stay here again.

My fiancé and I really enjoyed our stay here! The space was clean and in a quiet location. Jennifer kept in contact with us the entire stay and was always available for any questions we had! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place that’s a short walk (10 minutes) to the Short North!

OSU/Indiana Game day trip
My son goes to school at OSU and he is in the Marching band there also. My wife and I decided to visit from California for one of his last performance at the "Shoe". We looked for a place close to campus. This property fit all the things we were looking for in a VRBO. The apartment was just as described in the explanation and was very clean and close to campus. We totally enjoyed our stay and would love to stay there in the future if things worked out for us in the future.
We LOVED our stay! It was a great experience. The condo was in a central location in a cute neighborhood, easily walkable. There was a grocery store a short walk down and a gas station within a half mile of the condo. It was very clean and tastefully decorated. We especially loved the amenities provided by the host. If you forget anything, they will have likely provided it. It was quiet and felt safe enough for our toddler, who also had a blast. Thank you!
