My husband and I did a 4 month stay here with our dog and we highly recommend it!
Michael was a great host and truly went above and beyond during our time here. When it snowed, he came and salted the steps and concrete every morning and even had the house cleaned monthly while we were there! If there was ever an issue (and there was only one small plumbing issue), he jumped on it immediately and communicated well the whole way through.
Here are some of the things I look for when booking booking a long term stay:
Wifi: the wifi was great/never had any issues.
Location: The location is awesome! It’s in a residential area, but yet it is walkable to parks, a coffee shop, and multiple restaurants. It’s located behind a UDF gas station. When we initially drove up, we thought it might be sketchy because of the parking in the back alley. There are sometimes drifters back there, but for the most part it’s a mix of grad students walking back and forth. After staying there for 4 months, we can say we felt completely safe the whole time we were there.
Working from home: This is a great place to work from home. There’s a dining area where you can set up your laptop and it works out great. It’s very quiet during the day. So, no issues with having meetings throughout the day.
Noise: A few previous reviews mentioned hearing the people upstairs. However, we never had any issues with this. You would hear an occasional footstep from the Airbnb above, but we rarely- if ever heard any voices or noise. Only once did we have an issue where someone’s dog was barking incessantly. We messaged Michael and he reached out to the guest upstairs immediately. The barking stopped within 15 minutes after they came and got the dog. But, other than that, noise was a non issue while here.
Outdoor space: They yard is perfect, and one of our favorite things about the house. It’s large and completely fenced in. Our dog had a great time playing, and my husband would often work outside while our puppy hung out in the yard. We were here in the winter and never made use of the grill or fire pit, but it’s available in the yard as well.
Kitchen: The kitchen was great! It had ample pantry room for food and all of the basics you’d need. There was plenty of space for cooking and is exactly as pictured.
Tub/shower: Shower water pressure was great. We always had hot water, even while running the dishwasher. For all of the naturalistas, the shower did great even for wash day.
All in all, it’s a great place to stay in Columbus and I highly recommend it!
