I cannot recommend this place highly enough. My sister and I rented it to visit our younger sister, who lives in Columbus. There were only three of us staying here, so it felt massive because it really is big enough for 6-8 to fit comfortably. The one thing I will note is that all beds/sleeping accommodations are in the same area because it is a lovely LOFT. This worked out perfectly for us because I was with my two sisters, but may be something to consider if you are traveling with a group requiring more privacy.
THE HOST: Tawana is an excellent host. She pleasantly greeted me upon check-in and showed me how to enter/exit the loft, etc. She lives downstairs and made sure I knew she was available if I needed anything at all. If she hadn't told me she lived there, I never would have known- we didn't hear a peep during the whole weekend. I'm sure she noticed our presence more than we noticed hers (sorry, Tawana!).
THE SPACE: The space itself is so cute and welcoming. I honestly thought it was even nicer in person than in the pictures. It was IMMACULATE when we arrived. Also, there is beautiful art throughout the unit, which really adds a nice touch. I forgot to ask Tawana if the art is her work, but I think I remember seeing in another review that she is an artist. Even better than the decor was how thoughtfully Tawana stocked the loft. The kitchen is equipped with plenty of plates/cups/silverware/etc, and there were Keurig cups, bottled water, and a basket of snacks upon arrival. Tawana thought of everything from extra towels to board games. Having all the little stuff already taken care of made our trip absolutely stress free.
THE LOCATION: This location is FANTASTIC. It is convenient to downtown (the river is a quick 1.5mi with good hills if you're a runner) and basically anything else you'd like to do in Columbus. It isn't a bad drive from the airport, either. We didn't have much time to explore the immediate neighborhood, but it appeared to be populated with lovely, historic homes like Tawana's.
Again, I cannot say enough good things about this place. Do yourself a favor and book this loft for your trip to Columbus.
