The house was great and is close to Ohio State. I was traveling for work and it met the needs for myself and my coworkers. The location that was displayed in the VRBO app was not accurate, as it said it was close to Short North and the linked map also indicated that it was very close to Short North. I was staying here to be close to the convention center and this house is not within a few minutes walk to the convention center as I was led to believe. I informed them to update the description so others would not be mistaken as to the actual location of the house. Other than that, everything else was accurately described and it was a pleasant stay.

&Thank you so much for your thoughtful review & feedback! We're really glad to hear the home worked well for you & your coworkers during your work trip 😄 We’re so sorry for the confusion about the location on the VRBO app! we’ve already flagged the map issue to the platform, as the home itself is listed correctly, but the pin sometimes shows off by a few blocks which we know can be misleading 😕 Really appreciate you bringing it to our attention so we can help future guests avoid the same confusion!
