We also have a coffee machine with Folgers coffee, teas, creamer, and sugar.

The second floor of the duplex is where you will find 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom with a shower bath. Each bedroom has a queen-sized bed. The back bedroom also has an outdoor covered porch!

The third floor of the duplex is open to groups with 4 or more guests. This floor is an open room that has 3 queen beds and a newly renovated full bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Great location for parents’ weekend

We rented the house with some friends for parents’ weekend. The house is in a great location for walking to campus, there was plenty of onsite and street parking, and the house set-up was great. I will say the backyard looked nothing like the photos in the listing and was not really a place to hangout, and the kitchen needs some cleaning/touching up (broken floor tiles, a missing fan hood showing a dirty/broken light) but overall the house was great for parents’ wkd and we would rent it again for another visit.

Great place for OSU visit

We stayed here for OSU graduation weekend. This was a great location. A lovely historic home, nicely decorated and comfortable beds. Check in was super easy and everything was clean and ready to go. FYI It is on a busy city street so there are traffic (air and car) noises so if you have kids who need quiet this might be good to know. Would bring foil or plastic wrap/baggies if you cook and need to store food for a night or two as these were not stocked in the kitchen. Overall a lovely stay.

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

This 1920s property allowed us just have fun. It didn't require a lot of renovations and the neighborhood is a mix of people- very hip, relaxed area away from the hustle and bustle of the Short North and OSU campus area. The place is very spacious- great for traveling with a large group but having different living spaces to SPREAD out.

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.
