We had an initial issue which was addressed in a timely manner. Clarence is a very good host who communicated well with us. The location is great and the neighborhood quiet. Tommy's Diner down the street is a plus! We have been to Columbus many times and this location is good for our needs.

Great stay!

House was beautiful inside. Plenty of space for 3 adults. I could comfortably fit my four children and husband for a few days. Parked right in front of the house. The keypad wasn’t ready, but fixed as soon as I called. This visit was for three moms getting away for a night. We enjoyed good restaurants and shopping centers nearby. The highlight was relaxing in the cozy house enjoying each other’s company!

We were a litter uncertain of the neighborhood, we aren't from a big city had some concerns initially but it was perfect. Quiet as a church mouse. The house was exactly as pictured. Beds were super comfortable. Only drawback for us was the stairs. Some of us had trouble but we made it.

Class Act!

What a amazing and professional experience along with a really well done and remodeled home. Clarence was super accommodating, responsive and easy to work with. He went above and beyond when we checked in and needed some assistance with a pac n play infant crib that was provided. 45 minutes later a delivery service had a new one on the door step! Would have given 6 star if it were an option. Thanks for making our weekend family trip to Columbus memorable.
