    I emailed staff upon arrival stating I was there on business and would be working the night shift, and assumed with the facilities noise level policy stated numerous times in the agreement this would be a prime choice, however they had a truck loaded full of people drilling, hammering, singing along with the blaring radio direct under the bedroom I was trying to sleep in during my ENTIRE stay. I would have chosen a different location this time but wouldn't mind staying again if whatever they were fixing is fixed!

    The setup was wonderful. The place was beautiful and in the perfect location for my business needs.

    Trying to get into the garage. We paid to use it but our vehicle was just too big to manuver the alley, so we ended up parking on the street.

    Very nice apartment. It was clean and pretty large.

    While there are some basic kitchen needs, we wanted to make a big breakfast Sunday morning. Unfortunately this required a 6 am run to Walmart to get frying pans and a spatula to be able to cook eggs and sausage. I left the frying pans and spatula in the apartment so the next person wouldn't run into the same issue.

    The apartment was beautiful, clean and quiet. It gets a fabulous amount of sun in the mornings.

    We did not realize the apartment was on the second floor. But we managed to navigate up and all was well.

    Beautiful roomy apartment. Nicely furnished. Would stay again.

    The code to enter the room didn't work when I arrived so I called the owner, and she apologized and told me that she had changed the code after the previous guest, which rather made me feel safer. The location is about 20-30 min bus ride from downtown Columbus, but the bus has wifi and always comes on time so I had no issue with that.

    Maybe some blinds or curtains?

    Great space for a reasonable price in a quiet neighborhood close to the highway.

    From the entry throughout the rental unit was dirty and dusty. Recent construction created a ton of dust. There were no extra blankets as the rental was freezing upon arrrival and windows were missing storm and screens and left open. Limited to no equipment to use in the kitchen and no cleaning supplies like vacuum to allow us to clean up. And limited towels good thing we only took one shower each while there!

    The rooms were very spacious and tons of natural light.

    I have no complaints

    The place was clean(spotless!), extremely large, and comfortable. A previous person mentioned that they had trouble with temperature in apartment - we had no problems at all. The thermostat was very reactive. The communication was prompt. The neighborhood seemed safe. Plenty of street parking. It is on the second floor so there are stairs. That isn’t very clear in the description. There is a nice balcony seating included that would be great in warmer months. The value was also amazing. For size of place it was totally worth it!

    Freezing cold heat was on 90 an still was freezing. I had to purchase a space heater and I still couldn’t get warm. The windows are very old and felt like they were wide open.

    The size was good.

    I may have missed it, but I didn't see the wifi password written down anywhere and had to message the owner for it. Not a problem at all; they responded promptly, but just as a recommendation, maybe a little welcome sheet with some info?

    Beautiful, nice balcony and sun room, DONUTS and decent toilet paper lol

    It was really hard to enter the apartment even with the code and ultimately ended up locked out several times. It was so bad that I had to contact the property owner for them not to answer until I contacted booking.com and there was no urgency on the situation. They sent their cleaner to fix the door and thankfully she was able to get us in but she did mention that there has been problems with the door all day and made me have safety concerns for the door as it has been an issue for some time but I was never notified of the situation nor about switching the lock on the door.

    The property was really clean and decorated very beautifully.
