Super cute townhouse just a couple blocks from Short North

Lovely little place to stay. Very cozy, comfy beds, and plenty of room to spread out. I came for a work trip, and this was the escape I needed. I travel to Columbus for work each week, and this has been hands down the best place I've stayed. Make sure to sign up for street parking with the host and change the thermostat when you arrive, as it is an old home and can take some time to cool down/warm up.

Cozy

The house is lovely! I appreciated the extra touches like blackiut curtains, sound machines, and fans - really helped to get a good night's sleep! Unfortunately, an alarm went off in the other half of the duplex in the middle of the night which was quite startling! The living room was comfy and the plants everywhere made it feel homey!
