Whether you are in town for a family wedding, a work trip to New Albany, or a weekend exploring the city, you are perfectly positioned. The vibrant East Market is just a short stroll through the backyard, giving you instant access to local food vendors, drinks, and entertainment.

The Space:
Step into a beautifully restored 1907 brick duplex sitting directly across from the Franklin Park Conservatory waterfall in Columbus's Historic Trolley District. This 3BR, 2.5BA home spans three floors and nearly 2,000 sq ft. The ironwork on the porch, the arched windows, the original brick — this building has stories. The recent renovation brought it back to life without losing any of its soul.

• 3rd Floor: A private retreat — queen bedroom, half bath, and Smart TV. The highest, quietest room in the house.

The house was very clean, immaculate really. We had a few issues but they were quickly responded to by the host. A few things about the house I personally didnt like, but others may not mind:No curtains, just cheap mini blinds, even in bedroomsBathrooms had no heat vent so they were freezingNo TVs in the bedrooms, just 1 TV for the whole house. Seating in the living room was cheap and uncomfortable. And barely fit 4 adults. The house is quaint and the rooms are small, but I think with a little rearranging and better suited furniture it could work. No pictures on the walls, very sterile. Like I said, some people may like that lool, it just wasnt very cozy and this cute, quirky house could be made to be very welcoming for not too much investment. At the end of the day, its a rental so I get it, I am just explaining why only 4 stars and not 5.

Excellent convenient location for Buckeye-themed Labor Day weekend with 3 over 50 couples. Very clean with timely host communications. Proximity to brewery, market, and newer coffee shop was perfect, plus nice sunny walks in park to start and end the day. A number of smaller amenities recommended separately to host will make this even better, and doing the dishes was kind of novel.
