we were slightly worried about the area upon arrival. lots of trash and furniture sitting on the curb but with it being super close to the college campus that's what you'll have. Area was quiet and we didn't have any problems. Apartment was soo cute and modernly decorated. All the kitchen needs. More than enough pillows and blankets for the 5 of us. 30 minutes to the Columbus zoo and aquarium and Zoombezi Bay which was perfect.
