A beautiful property just a walk away from downtown. It was clean, contained all the amenities needed, and parking was super easy for being in a city! The host replied incredibly quickly even though our conversations were non-urgent. The portal they provide once booked was also super helpful!

This is a perfect place for a couple or a solo traveler. The space is optimized perfectly providing everything you need without feeling cramped. It feels bigger than it is. The parking is convenient, the room is super clean, the air conditioning kept it cool, the neighborhood is safe and quiet. It’s only 3 blocks from High St and a short 10 minute walk to the convention center. The host communicates extremely well. Altogether the whole experience was amazing. Absolutely highly recommended.

Had a great stay at this studio apartment above a detached garage. Very private, clean, and fully remodeled. 2 blocks from the short north just down from the Moxy Hotel / TownHall Restaurant area. Italian Village park is a block away for pets to hang out.

We appreciate you taking time to review Rowe House Rentals and glad you enjoyed your stay!
This adorable upstairs space was the perfect place for a getaway. It was very comforable and well laid-out. The neighborhood is historic and so cool to explore, and it's just a short walk from the bustling and cool North High Street.

Happy to hear you enjoyed our Carriage House! We appreciate your 5-star review and your kind words. It is just a short walk to everything you could want in the Short North Area. We hope to host again the next time you are in the Columbus area.
-Rowe Rentals Team
The property was very nice and quiet. It is behind a house that I believe can also be rented out, but it was not rented when I was there so that was nice. It is above a garage so it got a little warm, but nothing unbearable. It’s a really nice location, a cute neighborhood and convenient parking! I would stay here again.
We enjoyed staying at this property. It was perfect for two people. We booked this place because we were visiting our kids who attend OSU and we went to a football game. This was the perfect location for us. We had an issue with the heat and the owner was responsive.

This is the second time my wife and I have stayed here and it was just as perfect this time as it was the first! It has everything that we need while we are there. When a slight issue did arise, the host was quick to respond and help us. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend getaway!
