Good location; responsive hosts

The house was comfortable with easy access, including off street parking. A great coffee house and High Street within easy walking distance. A few essentials were missing when we arrived, eg toilet paper for all the bathrooms, kitchen sponge etc, but the hosts promptly suppled the necessaries.

Perfect location

This is our third time booking this sweet house. It's perfectly located to easily access OSU, downtown, and the interstate for other destinations. The neighborhood is walkable and close to grocery, restaurants, and bars. Private parking is wonderful, and public transportation is easy to access if you don't have your own vehicle. We'll be back next time we're in Columbus!

In town for an OSU football game

The location of this home was perfect for walking to campus for the game, fun and food in the short north and fourth street! Could get a little bit loud from street noise at night. Hosts were very responsive. House and yard as described. Would stay again

Charming, Cozy, Welcoming

This family-friendly house was in a great location for exploring Columbus! Within walking distance of MANY great places to eat, drink and shop. Short drive away from parks and major attractions. Host was very responsive and included helpful information. Our kids didn't want to leave and we would definitely book again! House had lots to offer and it was obvious that every effort was made to ensure a wonderful stay.

Our Favorite Place

Third time here, already looking to book again. We love coming to Columbus. This house is in the best location, with parking and the hosts are the most! The house is older with aged charm, but very comfortable with modern amenities. We walk practically everywhere but even our other interest, such as Franklin Park or the Art Museum are just a quick car ride. Not an issue, because we have our reserved parking right at the house. Thanks again Cathrine & Bryan! We will be talking soon.

Sweet Stay in Short North!

This home was perfect for family of 5 with 3 adult children! Close to everything on High St., easy parking, plenty of space and equipment for cooking and dining and a nice outdoor space in the backyard. And quite quiet despite location near busy arts and entertainment area. Hope we will get to stay here again!

Great weekend stay in Columbus

We had a wonderful long weekend at Catherine and Bryan’s home in the Short North this past weekend. Their home is clean, comfortable and well stocked. The location of the house was perfect and it was easy to park right behind the house. We felt right at home with a comfortable living room including games, and cozy spaces to relax and enjoy time together. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Catherine and Bryan

Host profile image
We're Bryan & Catherine Williamson, a married couple with a passion for interior design, hospitality, and old homes. Together, we host four vacation rentals in Columbus in Italian Village (listing # 3719746) and German Village (listings #4173697, #7492490 and #9423252). We have had the honor of having thousands of guests stay at our homes since we began hosting in 2014, and truly enjoy being able to share our city with travelers from near and far. You can find out more about our work on Instagram @beginninginthemiddle and our vacation rental brand @thevillagehost.

Why they chose this property

We picked this property mainly because of the walkability of the location. Having lived in NYC prior to this, we love that the Short North area is urban and close to everything (coffee, restaurants, bars, small shops - you name it), but also has a neighborhood feel.

What makes this property unique

Our décor adds a homey, cozy feel to the house. The private, fenced in backyard offers extra space to relax outside and enjoy a cup of coffee or a cocktail. Also, the off-street parking comes in handy with the new Short North street parking rules in effect!
