Gail & Eric are warm & welcoming hosts, and their big old house is great. We loved our loft apartment there. It was perfect for coming home to at the end of a long work day, and great to wake up in what felt like a tree house. The neat little kitchen enabled us to save money on meals out, but we also enjoyed several great spots for dining within walking distance, recommended by our hosts. They gave us tips on lots of places to see that we never would have found ourselves. Having been a part of this community for a long time, they share their knowledge and pride with great enthusiasm, which we enjoyed and benefited from. And since we are artists too, we especially appreciated their wonderful art. Their house is in a neighborhood full of artists, Old Towne East, which is not far from downtown and Short North and Germantown, all interesting areas nearby. When we go back to Columbus next year, we will definitely stay with Gail & Eric again. I recommend this place very highly.
