The Bellows' Loft is a secure apartment above a residence in a charming neighborhood of large 19th century brick homes, just east of downtown Columbus. A third-floor attic overlooking a tree-lined street has been converted into a comfortable bedroom-living room with a dining alcove, kitchenette, and well-designed little bathroom with a shower. The kitchenette has a refrigerator/freezer, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, coffee, and dishes. The apartment has good wifi and enough lights and electrical outlets for a modern traveler, but lets you feel like you've stepped into an earlier era. Gail accommodated our late-night arrival, provided a folder of maps, bus schedules, and menus, referred us to a nearby bakery with wonderful all-day breakfasts, a unique pizzeria, and a farm-to-table restaurant -- and even loaned me an icepack for my sprained ankle. Overall, a friendly and homelike introduction to Columbus.
