Joel and Carol have a beautiful, quaint home, mixed with cozy charm and modern touches. The space was perfect for adults, children and even smaller children. The furniture was comfortable and plenty. The rooms were set-up in a way that if you were in the kitchen making coffee or dinner, you had seating available to visit with you and you didn't feel left alone/out of the party! There were lots of options for snacks and drinks and add-ons; we had egg nog and half and half creamer and milk in the fridge, as well as bottles water and juice. So much coffee and tea and sugar packets (different kinds) were available. The kitchen was full of items used for cooking, certainly opposite of the bare bones air b-n-bs I've stayed in. The front room was cozy and well lit, open for entertaining and group conversation, as well as a nice place to put your feet up or take a quick snooze on the couch. Plenty of pillows, towels and blankets available.
Each bedroom was cozy and had dressers and closet space available for use, as well as a desk for working if you needed quiet space. The bathroom had a nice seat for my dad, who is much older, and a shower head that came down. Very thoughtful and safe. There is a door you can close between the front room and the bedrooms/bathroom hallway, allowing us to keep a sleeping baby asleep while we visited in the front room and open kitchen. Extra noise proof is a great option for little ones! The location was perfect, too, just right in the middle of all of the things to do in Columbus; we were close to major freeways and had access to get anywhere in about 15-20 minutes from our location. I couldn't imagine a better place for my dad to stay, for me to visit and for us to host together our family. Thank you, Joel and Carol, for the lovely space and fantastic rate for each night. We will be back! :)
