Rowe House rentals was more than pleasant to work with! The home was tastefully furnished, clean, and comfortable. The perfect location to walk through the short north, campus, or downtown. Everything we were interested in seeing was close by and they helped make parking easy. Thanks again!

The house was very clean and comfortable. Convenient location to Short Vine and Italian Village. Three of the bedrooms are upstairs so may be challenging to some. Finding the parking behind the house was very confusing.

Great place but horrible electronic door lock system.

The house and amenities were great. Everything was fine for first three days of a 6 day stay. On fourth the electronic door lock stopped working consistently. We had to the host several times on day 4 and day 5 to have them “remote” us into the unit. They said they’d have maintenance come to rectify problem They never came. At 4 am on 6th day we were returning from hospital at 4 am and was locked again. They had to remote us in once again we moved out and found a different unit for out night in Columbus.

The house was great. They did a wonderful job remodeling the house. Love the old pine floors. In a great location. A short walk down to High Street with plenty of restaurants, shopping, etc, around. Or a short Uber/Lyft ride to any other restaurant or club. Airport is only 10/15 minutes with good traffic.

My family stayed recently so that our son could participate in the fencing Summer Nationals. Property was very close, within walking distance to the convention center. The house was beautiful, clean, and perfectly located for a wonderful stay. Rowe Rentals was so easy to deal with and made booking and staying a complete breeze. If we are ever in Columbus again, I wouldn’t hesitate to book this property. Thanks for everything!

New Year’s Getaway

We enjoyed our stay. The home is set up with extra touches and everything was very comfortable. The location was great and close to everything. The road in front of the house is very busy and was noisy at times. The bedrooms in the back of the house were pretty quiet and very comfortable.

Columbus Gem!

We were so happy with our stay! The house was even bigger than we expected, with excellent accommodations. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, bathrooms clean, and kitchen and living room felt like home. We enjoyed cooking and staying in and appreciated the proximity to High Street so we could walk to local shops and restaurants. That back patio offers a private outdoor space as well. Thanks for the wonderful communication, easy and clear checkin/out process, and snacks!

Magnifique

Overall wonder property! The house is perfectly furnished with ample rooms and bathrooms. Everything is finished in a modern fashion. Huge plus is a bedroom on the first floor with only a half bath. Both showers were upstairs. They provided a little snack bowl, coffee, and creamer. For infants or toddlers, there was a high chair which was very useful. The location is wonderful as well. It took us about 10 to 15 minutes to walk to the convention center which was a huge plus! It is five minutes away from N3rd street which has a great feel throughout the entire day with multiple shops, and food options. The only one caveat we had was the parking space that is including with the house. It was quite hard to get to and one of the trees above it left a really nasty sticky residue on the car.

Great home in a terrific area

We lived our stay at this home. Ingrid, the host, was amazing. She checked in multiple times to make sure we had what we needed. In the house they have a very thorough listing of recommended restaurants and things to do. The home was clean and everything worked well. It was also very well stocked as far as cookware and kitchen items, which is rare in a rental. I would definitely recommend this home. And would stay here again if we find ourselves back in Colombia.

Great house close to Short North

We rented this house for our son's graduation from OSU. It was perfect for our family. The grandparents appreciated the first floor bedroom, and we appreciated the spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. This house is in an awesome location - just a five minute walk to High St. and lots of great restaurant options. This was the most well appointed rental we've ever stayed in. There was every kind of kitchen utensil and appliance, and plenty of consumable supplies like toilet paper and soap. Lastly, we loved the outdoor patio. It was a great place to sit in the evening and visit. My only caveat would be that it is a very urban location on a busy road. It wasn't a problem for us, but you should be aware of it. Overall, a great house in a great location!

The property is excellent for corporate travel. Clean, well stocked, and close proximity to the GCCC. Parking is the only caveat, as it can be tricky with multiple vehicles. Owners make it as easy as possible, are communicative, and give lots of direction. All in all, great property.

Why they chose this property

We bought this fixer upper in 2011 and completely renovated the house to the studs. This pre-1890s house is completely new on the inside. Sadly, the only original features of the home that remain are the pine wood floors and fireplaces. Most features of the home were gone before they purchased the home. On the positive side, you enjoy a relatively new home on the inside of a historic one!
