This location is perfect as a home base while you explore Columbus. The king-size bed was super comfortable -- only downside was that I had a hard time getting up in the morning because I didn't want to get out of the bed! The hosts provided a check-in guide that made things very easy, including navigating the parking spots in back of the property. There is normal street noise here, but nothing you wouldn't get elsewhere in a city. Because the home is near the university, I expected a lot of party noise on Friday night, but there wasn't any. Excellent choice if you plan to spend time on campus, downtown, or in Short North.
