I liked the place. There were a lot of nice little touches in the place, like artwork, games, books, etc. There was a full filtered water pitcher waiting for me when I arrived. The TV in the bedroom had all of the channels I needed to watch sports and the bed was super comfortable. I slept like a log both nights there.
The drawbacks to the place were minimal and temporary. The kitchen is under renovation, but since I wasn't cooking with a stove, that didn't affect my trip. The bathroom is also under renovation, making taking a traditional shower standing up or changing the temperature of the water impossible. Nevertheless, I had a comfortable bath and the host provides bath salts, which was a nice touch and accommodation. When I arrived, there were clear instructions on getting around both of these issues, which showed a lot of care on behalf of the owner.
The host was very quick to respond to my questions and concerns. The advantages far outweigh the negatives and I would stay there again if I come back to Columbus.
