This was my first experience with Airbnb. I had to make an emergency visit to Columbus to visit my brother in the hospital at the James Cancer Center on OSU campus. All the rooms in hotels were $100+ per night. I found this room on Airbnb with a very very low price. I was fairly suspect but figured if I hated it, I could get my money back.
This property is about 1.5 miles from the north east corner OSU campus. Very close. I used to walk this distance every day to class every day when I lived off campus. Its in an older residential area but not a bad neighborhood. I lived in a house similar to this when I was a student.
The home has been completely remodeled and looks brand new inside. It shows like a model home. The owners have provided all the necessary appliances (stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker and even a toaster) for someone to stay there and prepare all their meals to save money. Even the silverware and plastic bags were included.
The two communal bathrooms were also nicely done and provide shampoo, conditioner and body wash. A very nice touch. I was a bit worried about shared bathrooms but didn't even see the other 2 guests that were staying there at the same time.
My room was the attic room on the 3rd floor that was the cheapest available. It had 2 very comfortable beds and its own air conditioner so it was possible to adjust it to my own preferences regardless of the rest of the home.
There are instruction cards tacked to the walls all around the house to make things easy to find. The wifi worked well and was very fast.
I can't say enough good things about this residence. I would stay there again and recommend it to anyone thinking about staying in Columbus.
