Al's place, The Garden Manor, is absolutely delightful. It is one of the most beautifully decorated, thoughtfully appointed and elegant properties of any kind at which we've stayed over the years. It is spacious, comfortable, spotless and cozy, not to mention interesting as a historically preserved property. The gardens are lovely and no doubt enjoyable in every season. The location is convenient to all that Columbus has to offer and felt both safe and secure. Al provided a book with terrific local recommendations which were spot on and will be future haunts during our visits to the area. Al was exceptionally accommodating, incredibly responsive and a top-notch host. We highly recommend his place when visiting Columbus (except when we come to town... because we call dibs!).
