As you enter, you are in King's Cross, a traveler embarking on a remarkable adventure. You are greeted by the sights of the station, leaving your trunks and bags with the others as you approach platform 9 3/4! Make sure to take plenty of pictures before you complete your journey through the wall to the wizarding world! There is a comfortable large sectional in the station, and a TV with some magical lighting effects, while you await the train. Have additional witches and wizards staying with you? A queen Ivation portable bed with all the linens and finishings is available to rest in King's Cross as well - this unit can comfortably sleep four.
Now turn around, and suddenly, you are in Diagon Alley! Lifesize doors and shops adorn the wall as you walk through the space. Just ahead of you is the Leaky Cauldron, an upgraded kitchen within which you can prepare any of your meals and potions with ease. New stainless appliances, full sets of utensils, pots and pans make preparation of any meal as easy as a swish and flick of your wand.

Or as you complete your journey down the hallway, are you perhaps a...Gryffindor?!
That's right! At the end of the hallway, you've entered Harry's room at Hogwarts! In this magical place is a four-post queen bed adorned with the signature colors. Beside you is a dresser with Harry's luggage, with ample room for all of your things, topped with pictures of Harry's family, professors, and dearest friends. On the other side of the room, you'll find Hedwig's nook, complete with Harry's beloved pet's cage, and every iteration of books from the Harry Potter collection for you to peruse. Also on this wall is a large closet for hanging your cloaks, scarves and brooms, and a stacked washer-dryer set, for your use after a long day of exploring.
Before you retire to bed, you may need to take a shower or freshen up - in the Chamber of Secrets! A newly redone shower, commode, sink and more are prepared for you. Did you forget to obtain shampoo, lotion, soap, or any other items before your journey? Worry not! Toiletries, Tide pods, and many other items are complimentary with your stay.

Important: We have a zero-tolerance policy for parties or gatherings. No confetti, and no items may be affixed to our walls in any way. No pets, and no smoking. Doing any of these things will incur an extra fee. We use a noise sensor to detect the noise level inside the suite, a people counter which counts the number of people nearby, in addition to numerous neighbors who are understandably more sensitive during this time. No tampering with the noise monitoring devices or security devices. If you have tampered with any of these devices there will be a fee. The guest amount on your reservation must match the number of guests that will be inside the suite at any given time. We do utilize our local law enforcement if you cannot abide by these rules and you will be asked to vacate at your own expense.

Very fun, with small hiccups

Check-in difficult because I was traveling cross-country with unpredictable internet and computer access, and requested the check-in info 3 days in advance (per the posted VRBO terms I screenshot), but was denied. I requested the info at least be texted to me on check-in day (in case of internet availability issues) but it was not.This was a surprise for my kids, who were in heaven. There is a lightning storm on the ceiling in one room. Adds to the ambiance, although I don't know if there's an off switch -- we had to unplug it to sleep.Unloading/loading when the included parking garage is across the street and there's a giant set of steps just inside the door was no small task. I recommend paying to park on the street for the unloading/loading process, which helped greatly. (It was also raining, so walking our luggage a block was not ideal for many reasons.)The airbed is very fancy but popped open and smacked me in the head during assembly (open carefully!), and then deflated under my kids overnight. (My kids combined weigh 90 lbs tops, so it's not a weight thing.)Not sure the unit door locked at all the whole stay. The doorknob sticks, which I mistook for locking at first. Couldn't lock it at check-out.Most stressful moment was when I realized the detergent that had been left on the washing machine (and which I'd already washed my clothes in) was actually dishwasher detergent.Can't overstress how cool the ambiance was here. Lots of fun little touches.

Above and beyond communication and help!

The apartment was perfect location, very clean. I left something extremely valuable in the apartment and the owner responded immediately and went out of their way to return to me. Highly recommend!

Saturday night OSU game

We stayed here for the OSU playoff game against Tennessee. The check in process was mostly seamless- just took us a moment to figure out parking and the lock box for the key. The unit was very clean and well kept- the decorations were a nice touch! There was some street noise at night- but that was expected for a Saturday night on high street. I would recommend the unit and would definitely stay here again!

The Cutest Place

My wife and I were back in Columbus for a couple of nights and thought this would be fun to try for a night. It might be the most charming part of the Short North.
