Big Green House

Excellent house, close to Short North attractions, clean, roomy, updated. However, Basement is another rental, a little noisy sometimes, parking limited to 4 spots for both rentals. Rental company very responsive and helpful. Well worth the money.

Perfect for events at the fairgrounds

Our stay was great and the property was clean. It is very close to the fairgrounds which was perfect since we were at an event there. The parking was tight for one full size vehicle and was not big truck friendly. Says there is room for two but they were both have to be very small. There were some loud noises happening at night coming from the street side of the property but would stay there again.

Very nice place

This house was in a convenient location close to where we needed to be. Several restaurants close by. The high ratings for cleanliness were accurate and the house was comfortable. There were even small considerations such as a sleep sound machine for the bedroom on the street side, and snacks left in the kitchen. I will be renting this house the next time I am in town.

Football weekend in Columbus

The house was as advertised. Everything was clean and bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for making a quick breakfast and coffee. We didn't really use the family room area much as we weren't at the house much more than to sleep. Location was perfect, close to OSU, the Short North and downtown. Hosts were quick to reply and very friendly.

It was ok

It was fine. House needs a good deep cleaning and some maintenance. Towels were dingy with hairs from previous guests. Shower was broken (manager did address). Noisy street. Parking hard to find at night. Would be nice to have TV upstairs to drown out street noise. Thankfully we were quite busy out of the house while in Columbus but it worked but if coming back will look for somewhere else.

Columbus vacation!

My son and I traveled to a fall vacation in the Columbus area. We enjoyed our experience. The town around the property was so much fun and the property was perfect. The place was clean and easy to access from the front and back door. The layout of the property was great. Thank you for sharing your property! Totally recommend 😊

Great Stay!

This house is great. Cute, clean and located in walking distance to High St. 1 mile from main campus and 1.5+ from stadium. Great check-in / check-out instructions. Parking was easy and felt car was safe. Loved the front porch sitting area. Would stay here again as an alternative to a hotel.

10/10, No Complaints

If you're looking for a place to stay while in town for a football game, this needs to move to the top of your list. Location is incredibly convenient: easy walking distance to the stadium, all the stuff on High St., etc. Also, no need to drive once you get there. Anything you could want to do is w/in a 10 min. Uber ride. The house itself is nicely decorated, nicely appointed, and most importantly, it's super clean. Felt safe the entire time there. No noise issues, although I'd recommend brining a sound machine to drown out the passing cars on the street. Parking was a piece of cake. I have no hesitation in recommending this property, and I plan on staying here in the future.

Awesome location to explore Short North

This was a great place to stay to walk to tons of amazing food, drink, patios, shops, parks, etc. My friend and I had a great stay here—it was really clean and the owners’ communication was excellent! The listing is 100% accurate. Check in and check out were both really easy. We slept well in the comfy beds and spacious rooms (but did bring some earplugs just because there are busy roads close by). The kitchen seemed well stocked with updated appliances, but we didn’t use it too much. We could both fit our smaller SUVs in the parking. We loved that we could walk to a bit of everything the short north and Italian village have to offer, and the budd dairy, seventh sons and fox in the snow were such easy places to walk to enjoy outdoor space and really delicious food and drink. I would definitely stay here again if I’m back in Columbus. Thanks to the awesome hosts for an easy and great stay!

Great location!

The property was clean, spacious, and located minutes from grocery (Kroger), Short North (restaurants+), German Village, (quaint area) and CCAD (College). My daughter and I stayed here and had no problems with access or space. Parking in the rear was not hard to find but I would recommend to locate it in the daytime (as you do have to go in an alley) so you are familiar with the entry point. Construction was taking place next door, but it did not bother us at all! The noise from loud cars (one time) was the only disturbance, but other than that, it suited our needs for a few days stay. There are some things that could be "upgraded" (couch, cookware, diverter) but we enjoyed our stay. Communication with the owners was efficient and they were a pleasure to work with. I would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Rowe Rentals

Host profile image
Mike and Ingrid met in Japan and moved to Columbus in 2009 and have been loving it ever since! They are both experienced travelers & love renovating historic homes. It seemed natural to combine their hobbies of traveling and renovating- so they started hosting in 2015. Hello Rowe Rentals! Our team, Frances, Ingrid, and Mike, knows quite a bit about the Short North and are pleased to help you during your stay-please contact Rowe Rentals for any questions!

Why they chose this property

We love old buildings and this one is no exception- it was built in 1910. Unfortunately the only historic parts left of the house interior are the fireplace tiles and stairs (if you want to count that)- I'm not even sure if the mantels are original... the rest of the house has been fully renovated.

What makes this property unique

Please note the following about our apartments: Our homes range from 97 to 135 years old. If you are in search of a perfect, flawless place to stay, you may want to look for newer build. We love being hosts- providing a home to stay in and delivering a unique experience when visiting this city but please keep in mind this is not a 5 star hotel, it’s a home.
