Pros:
- 2 car garage & an easy to use app
- nice sized fenced in yard with firepit & decent outdoor furniture
- convenient location (10 minutes from downtown)
- large open space downstairs
- great communication (very fast with any needed response) with the owner
- reasonably priced
Cons:
- The house was dirty. The cleaners were there upon arrival and left very quickly so perhaps this is not the norm (and not the owner's fault), but it was not clean.
- All four bedrooms are located upstairs and there are not nearly enough air vents (we could only find two) to cool the space. Three of the four rooms had ceiling fans which brought some relief, but the fourth bedroom (which actually had a vent) was miserable when outdoor daytime temps were in the 90s. None of the windows had screens, so there was no chance of cooling down the rooms at night either.
- Location. While close and convenient to other Columbus attractions, there is little to do/see near the house. The general area is old and run down with a mixture of dilapidated homes next to newly renovated ones. It's as if people are trying to revitalize this area, but there's a long ways to go.
If you're in Columbus for a short time and need a place to gather/sleep this house is fine. You won't feel unsafe, but you'll need to travel (drive/Uber) to do anything worthwhile.
