Top Rated Clintonville Home-Close to EVERYTHING!

10/10 Excellent

"We came for an Ohio State game. It was my spouse, son and his significant other and my daughter. They all came from different parts to get there. The house was fantastic. Incredibly clean and well furnished with towels, dishes, games and even the obligatory junk drawer. It helped us out twice, actually. The host was real easy to work with. We had car trouble coming down and needed to make some changes as to who got there first and they were great working with us. The neighborhood was real quiet and I felt safe. If we all come back to Columbus for a game, I will try and book here first. A hotel room might have been cheaper for all of outside the city, but they are so cold. We had a wonderful time hanging out at night here."
