VERY rundown

2/5

Despite amazing pictures online, we were very disappointed. Railing in the loft bedroom is rickety to the point of unsafe, there were ants in the bathroom, swarms of flies blocking access to the backyard, and multiple light sources with non- working bulbs. Additionally, the backyard (one of the biggest selling points when booking out trip) was VERY unkempt: no cushions out, cushions were dirty when pulled from storage, cobwebs all over the furniture. We attempted contact of our point person on arrival, did not hear back for 2 days. Since the expression of our concerns, have not received any follow up. Super disappointed and will not re-book.

Dirty, dangerous, dark, early goodwill store decoration

1/5

This place should be pulled off VRBO. It is dangerous and probably does not meet codes. We had no choice but stay through The Ohio State Graduation but left a day early. Dirty filthy hasn’t been dusted or cleaned. If this place is not cleaned professionally it should be, if it is being cleaned they should be fired immediately. Dangerous, front door area rug being held in place with painter tape balls underneath, the bedroom downstairs has wall mounted light fixture beside doorway that has obviously been run into with a Edison light hanging down, me at 5’ 8” nearly tore my scalp off before we removed the hanging bulb with no globe on it and tied it up out of way. Upstairs some one tried to place an electrical outlet in the floor failed to realize they could not sink it put it in halfway with the rest of outlet hanging out. With a fan cord placed in it thrown across floor, the stairs are totally out of code and many people have fallen down them, the railing has been torn out of the floor and wall from people grabbing it. We had to borrow a lamp from my daughter since the lamps in the bedroom are rechargeable and no one had recharged them. Security, windows and locks that wouldn’t close the security system was a total joke, the front door and back door wouldn’t hold back a 4 year old pushing I have pics. No top sheets, no blankets, just a cheap duvet that cracked like plastic water bottles. No drapes upstairs so street light all night. Beyond a joke.

Convenience Columbus Location

5/5

Our party of 4 rented this house during Thanksgiving week and drove in from New England. Check-in was super easy and location is very convenient. House is well-decorated. Some minor issues that don’t affect my overall rating are the following.

1. Second floor bedroom needs some curtains to help hide street lights.

2. There is no dishwasher however no dish towels were provided to dry dishes.

3. We prepared a dessert to share for Thanksgiving dinner at our family’s home in Worthington and there were no measuring spoons, measuring cups or convenience mixing utensils to prepare this dish. We managed but it was a bit inconvenient.

I would still recommend this house for its location and well-decorated home. The backyard was fenced and wonderful for our dogs.

Beautiful little home!

This was such a cute, beautifully decorated home. The back yard has turf and is SO cute. I hope to come back and rent again in warm weather to take advantage of that space more!
