Perfect place for us!

This property was exactly what we were looking for! It was in an historic building and within walking distance of many of the places we were interested in. There was plenty of parking available; and our host Karen was so pleasant and helpful. We will definitely book again on our next visit to Columbus!

It was as described and there’s off-street parking. It’s a bigger space than I thought. I’ll stay here again next time I’m in Columbus.

A Great 5 star stay in Columbus

From the time we booked this rental until the day we checked out, we had a wonderful experience. Karen was so nice and helpful. The studio was beautifully decorated and so warm and welcoming. I will definitely stay again and recommend to everyone I know.

Great location

Perfect location for downtown Columbus. Within walking distance of the Riverwalk, restaurants, coffee shops, historic antebellum homes, and MUW. The unit is so much better than a boring, sterile hotel chain; it felt very homey and relaxing. Karen made sure everything was perfect. Highly recommended.

We loved the exposed brick, hardwood floors and wood ceilings. Lots of historical character. We walked evening and morning around the area. Nice time. We ate at Old Hickory. A must if you like steak!

Just a Quickie😜

It was just a one night stay but this place was everything & then some! Beautiful architectural details with at least 15 ft ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, bead board ceilings & original hardwoods… gorgeous! Kitchen was well equipped & neat as a pin! Furnishings were well thought out & welcoming! A return visit is definitely in our future!

Back to back stays…

Loved the loft! I planned to stay 4 nights which I did. Visited family and friends for a visit down south and decided to return to the loft for the end of my tour. Was so thankful it was available. Was able to have friends visit in the evenings and the kitchen a perfect size. Felt totally safe staying there alone and it is just so cozy. I will be back!
