The place was great and very close to downtown. We stayed for the Columbus marathon and it worked out great. The beds were comfy. I know it says up and coming area, but there was very little activity during our stay. We did not feel unsafe at all. The street was quiet and just a short drive to hop on the expressway. The space was well decorated and the beds were comfy. A great living situation for a small group to avoid the high costs of downtown hotels!
