I stayed with Michael and Ben for 41 days (was only at the property for ~25-27 due to personal obligations)
PROS:
-Location! $10 uber to Easton, $13 dollars to downtown & airport, $15 to campus (quite cheap for Columbus)
-The hosts are friendly and take interest in you
-The space is generally tidy
-Kitchen is equipped for cooking and baking!
-Never had to compete/wait for bathroom time
-Doors lock and super easy check in so you feel quite safe and secure
-relatively cheap for short term stays especially if you're used to hotel prices.
CONS:
-Walls are paper thin and:
-Hosts don't always enforce/respect quiet hours (especially weekends).
I experienced a few occasions where people were -up late loudly watching TV, -cooking and banging pots around on a stone counter top late nights, and/or guests waking up *super* early and being extra loud as well. Only happened about four or five times during my stay though!
-The space is only deep cleaned weekly which goes into my next point
-There can be up to 11 people staying here at any given time. I only experienced 8 or 9 (main host & his occasional guest, secondary host & his son, and up to 5/6 other guests in the three guest bedrooms). Host are VERY neat, but guests have different levels of neatness as well as experience with communal living and shared space reflects that.
-Not the most economical long term. But if youre on a budget it will do. The space I was in was quite small so you're probably better off paying the extra 100-150 if you can spare to have a bigger space or just space to yourself.
I would recommend this airbnb to:
people with layovers, short term conferences in Columbus, frequent solo travelers, people on a budget, travelers used to the hostel/guesthouse scene
I would not recommend this airbnb to:
long term travelers, people not used to hostels & guesthouses, light sleepers and or people who are quite specific about their living spaces.
