Bexley Family Friendly ★ King Bed ★ Staycation

BrittanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Makes traveling with family so easy, and we're so grateful! We came in the midst of a snow storm, but I imagine coming in the summer is even better to take advantage of the yard and the second play area (that room is really cold in the winter)! The area was easy to get to, easy to get places. We'd love to go back.

Nice home near downtown Columbus

AllisonRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Matthew’s place was easy to find with great check-in instructions along with plenty of street parking. The house was warm, cozy and very inviting! Our group stayed only one night but I highly suggest Matthew’s place! The neighborhood is walkable and very convenient to bars, restaurants, etc. Overall, we had an awesome experience and will book this house again!

Home Away From Home

Kaelyn & ChristianRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I stayed at Danielle’s place with three friends. We were in town for the Arnold Sports Festival. The commute to the convention center was really easy. The location was perfect to be away from the hustle and bustle while keeping the daily commute simple. The house and amenities were just as described and perfect to meet our needs while we were in town. Danielle and her co-host were very communicative and supportive of a later than expected check in. We had no issues with our stay and would consider staying again in the future!

Newly renovated, spacious home in Central Columbus

TeresaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This place was perfect for a sunny December family gathering. We played Bocce ball in the open yard, made a nice, cozy fire in outdoor fire pit & had THE most magical experience watching hundreds of Robins come in to roost in the towering bamboo both evenings! We felt immersed in nature while enjoying the convenience of being in the city. 10/10 Overall! Thank you so much for allowing us to use this space to make unforgettable memories ❤️

Large LUX Home w/Finished Basement & Secure Garage

KimberlyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Ebony’s listing is a hidden gem, the house was modern and most importantly spotless. We were at her property for one night but we enjoyed the basement and living room areas especially and even congregated around the kitchen island. We visit Columbus frequently and will definitely be back when we have more than my husband and myself visiting and are in need of space and don’t want to be in a hotel room. You won’t be disappointed.

Charming house close to German Village

SamuelRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We stayed here for a long weekend with friends. This unique old home was cozy and well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies making it feel more like home. We each drove separate and with the on site and street parking, we didn’t have an issue finding where to park. The street is very quiet with the occasional train whistle in the distance. It’s noted in the listing, but the third floor bedroom is only accessible through another bedroom on the second story, which adds to this stay’s uniqueness. The living room was tight for our group of 8, but there are plenty of other sitting areas including the dining room. The hosts even left a small welcome note and gift, which was very thoughtful. We’ll stay here again the next time we find ourselves in Columbus.

Charming 3 bdr! City location! Great parking!

AmyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Right from the start Ralph was quick to respond to messages and was very friendly. The home was so quaint and comfortable that my family all thought we’d love to live there! We arrived for Christmas and the home had even been decorated for Christmas. I appreciated most the roomy dining room and large table. The neighborhood was lovely and we enjoyed looking at all the other lovely homes. I definitely want to stay here again in the future.

Modern Downtown Luxury Apartment w/ View

AllyRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Dom's place was beautiful, exactly as described, and perfect for what I needed on my work trip to the Columbus Convention Center. I was able to walk to where I needed to go, and the fact that there was a free parking spot included was huge! The small convenience store on the corner was also super helpful, as I forgot a few items at home :) Dom was so communicative and helpful, but also allowed me the space to be on my own while staying in their place! I loved staying here, and would definitely do so again!

Livingston Flat - A German Village Gem

JakeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
An overall great place that was exactly as described. Of course there was lots of noise from the bar below especially on Saturday Night but we expected that because it said so. We used the white noise machine provided and it helped quite a bit.
