I spent almost a month in Columbus for work, and this place was perfect for me. It is clean, comfortable, and spacious, and Toya is great. She was on hand for anything I needed, and incredibly warm and welcoming.

The location is good, and within a reasonable driving distance of anything I wanted/needed (OSU, the Short North, downtown, Easton, etc.). On first arrival, the neighborhood seems a little dicey--mostly due to vacant houses on the block and the general sketchiness of Cleveland Ave. down the street--but it's a very quiet residential area with lots of families. I never had any issues.

However, I would definitely recommend staying here only if you have access to a car or a very good working knowledge of the public transportation system. Other than one or two places to eat, there isn't much within walking distance.

In terms of places in the neighborhood, I'd recommend the New Harvest Cafe for lunch and soul food, or Island Vibes, a good Caribbean restaurant down the street.
