Caledonia Vacations from $702

Had a fantastic stay at Jungle House in Downtown Columbus. The loft was clean, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of space and all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore the city while still enjoying a relaxing atmosphere. The host was responsive and accommodating, and the entire check-in and check-out process was seamless. I would highly recommend Jungle House to anyone visiting Columbus and would gladly stay here again.

Casa on High is high on “vibe” and “character”, but dismally low on practicality. Owners would benefit from less attention to décor and more to function. This accommodation is best suited for young people traveling with backpacks or duffle bags that can be thrown on the floor, as there are no dressers, tables etc on which to put luggage, and the large mirrored closet that is shown in the Expedia listing in one of the bedrooms is LOCKED…when I questioned it, I was informed it is only there for the cleaner’s storage (fine, provide some hooks/shelves instead, though). The other bedroom had an unlocked closet, but it was taken up by stored items (including, oddly, several cases of beer). I was able to use half the large bed for staging my suitcase, but if sharing a bed that would not work. I nabbed an over-the-door hook from the other bedroom for hanging some clothes, so that helped a little. Unless the owners add some sort of functional luggage/clothing arrangement, people not amenable to dealing with open suitcases on the floor would probably not be happy here. Neither bedroom had any reading lamps. Water pressure minimal at times. Plus there were safety concerns: my partner hit his shoulder on a sharp corner of the strangely placed metal mailbox at the bottom of the stairs; one b/r had loose sockets. Stairway was musty/dingy/needed paint. Artsy, walkable neighborhood redeemed the problems to a degree, but very noisy with cars/Harleys cruising at night. Parking was fine.

Overall, our stay was decent, primarily because of the friendly staff and convenient location. Everyone we interacted with was pleasant and helpful, and the hotel was situated in a good area with easy access to nearby attractions and restaurants. That said, the property could use some maintenance and updates. The hotel had a noticeable musty smell throughout our stay. In our room, the towel holder on the back of the bathroom door was broken, and the shower was frustrating to use because the valve appeared to be malfunctioning, resulting in very low water pressure. A complimentary breakfast was available, but the selection was extremely basic with limited options compared to what many hotels currently offer. We ended up going to Tim Horton's.

One bed didnt even have comforter or sheets o. It the mattress was so worn down it sank in the middle without even sitting on it
