Hey Nachshon! Thanks for the 5⭐ review! We’re so glad you loved the space and felt well taken care of 🌿😊 It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to have you back anytime!
We enjoyed our stay, but didnt realize the parking was on the street. The mattress on the king bed we didnt prefer. We thought the queen mattresses were much more comfortable. I would stay here again!

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your insights on the parking and mattresses. We’re always looking to improve and would love to welcome you back for another visit!
This property was exactly as advertised! A true gem in an excellent location. I loved the richly stained floors, comfortable leather couch and of course, the plants. Elegant touches like a rainfall shower head, dimmer switches, and a sound machine and diffuser running upon my arrival made my stay feel like a true retreat. The hosts made everything a breeze and they remained communicative and invested in the quality of my stay throughout. Highly recommend!

Hey Mark! Thanks for the 5⭐ review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the decor and found everything clean 🌿😊 It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to have you back anytime!
The property is in a perfect spot, right down the street from North High Street, where there are great restaurants and bars. The jungle house was perfect for us. Please bring ice, as the refrigerator doesn't have an ice maker, and coffee filters. They do provide Buckeye coffee grounds and if you want a single cup option then bring K-Cups. The hosts are great and if you need anything they will respond quickly. We will definitely be returning guests and hope to check out their other jungle houses!

Super cute townhouse just a couple blocks from Short North
Lovely little place to stay. Very cozy, comfy beds, and plenty of room to spread out. I came for a work trip, and this was the escape I needed. I travel to Columbus for work each week, and this has been hands down the best place I've stayed. Make sure to sign up for street parking with the host and change the thermostat when you arrive, as it is an old home and can take some time to cool down/warm up.

Hey! Thanks for the 5⭐ review Daniel! We’re so glad the place provided the perfect escape for your work trip 🌿😊 It’s great to hear that it was the best place you’ve stayed in Columbus! Thanks for the tips on parking and the thermostat we’ll make sure future guests know. We’d love to host you again anytime!
Not only were they in contact the entire process, but the kindness and consideration for me and my family’s well being were at the forefront for our stay. We needed rest on on journey and we found it here.

The house is lovely! I appreciated the extra touches like blackiut curtains, sound machines, and fans - really helped to get a good night's sleep! Unfortunately, an alarm went off in the other half of the duplex in the middle of the night which was quite startling! The living room was comfy and the plants everywhere made it feel homey!
