About this property

This townhouse is a 3 bedroom(s), 1 bathrooms, located in Columbus, OH.

Our 'Urban I' duplex is a five-minute walk to Condado, BrewDog, and many other popular Short North spots!

The other side of this duplex is also available (Urban II).

Dogs are permitted for $35/dog/day. See allowable dog breeds below.

There are 2 parking spots available directly behind the duplex. Additional on-street parking is $3/day.

Pet and parking fees will be adjusted after the reservation is made.

More info below!

Please read and agree to House Rules when making your reservation.

For security purposes, we require a photo along with a valid driver's license during the booking process.

We are currently not hosting local residents.

There is an additional guest fee per person/night for the 4th guest and up. The guest fee will be calculated on the quote breakdown when entering the correct guest count into the reservation or inquiry. Only registered, paying overnight guests are permitted at the residence. The guest fees allow us to offer the home at cost effective prices to small and large groups (example, a home can sleep 10+ guests but a lower rate allows 2-4 guests to rent it as well). Please ensure you have the correct guest count and make any changes before the start of your reservation. Refunds for additional guest fees are under the host’s discretion.

Pet dogs are allowed for a $35 fee per dog per day, max $200/month per dog. Due to system configuration, we may need to adjust the pet fee (for stays over 1 day and/or multiple dogs) after your reservation is made. Please notify us upon booking if you are bringing your pet pup. Pet damages/stains are subject to additional fees for replacement, etc. For insurance purposes, please confirm your pet is not one of the following: Akita, Chow, American Staffordshire Terrier, Pitbull, Rottweiler, Doberman Pinscher, Wolf hybrids, Presa Canarios, or any mix of these breeds/any dog with a bite history.

Some sound can travel between the two sides of the duplex. We observe quiet hours from 9PM to 9AM. If there is a noise issue, please contact us 24/7 and vice versa, we will contact you. If you perceive noise will be an issue, please consider renting a home that does not have another unit under the same roof.

Start-up quantities of amenities such as toilet paper and paper towels are provided. Replenishment is up to the guest as they see fit.

There is no handicap access. There are steps to enter the front and back porches of the house and no bedrooms or bathrooms on the first floor.

Guests with allergies and related medical issues and/or sensitivities- we cannot 100% guarantee that the vacation rental is free of pet dander, cigarette smoke, air fresheners/cleaning product scents, or any other elements that may trigger a medical problem or sensitivity.

House guests have parking for the 2 spots directly behind your side of the duplex – please stay on your half of the parking lot.

$29.00 non-refundable Damage Waiver fee is required for all reservations. Damage waiver covers up to $1,000.00 of accidental damage. Damages deemed intentional or by negligence will not be covered by the damage waiver and will be the sole responsibility of the guest. If Ozone machines are needed due to strong odors of any sort, a $500.00 fee will be incurred by the guest.

For your safety and protection of the home, there are exterior cameras located on the front and rear of the home. There are no interior cameras.
We are available to guests by email, phone, or text. We know our neighborhood very well (!) and care about our community- let us know when you need something or have questions!
The Short North Arts District is one of the Midwest’s best kept secrets. There is a huge variety of unique shops, bars and restaurants, and art galleries along High Street and a number of annual events that take place year-round. We have a thorough list of recommendations in the house to local bakeries, cafes, and restaurants.

The Short North is made up of several historic neighborhoods; this home is located in Weinland Park, a cool, urban area on the East side of High St above 5th Ave. Weinland Park still has its edgy, up-and-coming vibe- there is a lot of construction and development still underway, real estate is hot here despite its sometimes worn look. You will see a lot of renovated homes as well as ones not-yet-touched. The neighborhood is home to a mix of young professionals and families. This apartment is in walking distance to High Street and N. 4th Street coffee shops, restaurants, and bars!

IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE?
We live nearby and feel the neighborhood is relatively safe, but it can feel a bit intimidating if you are not use to city living. Please note this is the city- we do have petty crime in the Short North and University area, and always advise to practice not leaving valuables in your car (we have not had any issues at our apartments, I state this because we are in the city) and walk with a buddy at night on well-lit, busy roads such as High Street, Summit, and 5th Ave.

Near the following:
• Restaurants- The Table, Condados, Fox in the Snow, Basil 
• Bars & breweries- Seventh & Son, North High Brewing, Brother Drakes
• Grocery stores- Kroger & Giant Eagle Market Fresh (Third Ave, Grandview)
• Fitness gyms- Cross Fit, Short North Fitness, Thank Yoga

• Columbus Convention Center- 1.3 mi
• Goodale Park- 1.4 mi

Great Guys Weekend
My two adult sons and I stayed here while attending March Madness games at Nationwide Arena. The directions sent were very helpful to find the parking area behind the house. The house is very nice inside. Some people might be nervous at the neighborhood it is in. But we didn’t have any issues. Plenty of room with three bedrooms and loved having the upstairs/downstairs space. We used the nearby Kroger for groceries. Definitely a perk!

Quick trip
Property was really great, had everything we needed. Only problem was the noisy street. The bedroom at front of house can be very noisy which makes it tough to sleep. There at ear plugs, but I didn’t use them…didn’t want to miss alarm clock for very early mornings planned.

Easy stop in Columbus
We stopped in Columbus for a couple nights on our way back to Wisconsin from the East Coast. This house was a convenient and comfortable base for us to explore the neighborhood and relax when we were done. It looks exactly like the photos (very spacious). I appreciated the communication with the property owner. They left helpful instructions for most things in the house and checked in via text after our first night. Our favorite part of the stay was being able to walk just a few blocks to get to Budd Dairy Food Hall, Seventh Son Brewing Company, and Fox in the Snow cafe. Highly recommend all three!

NYE Stay
My friends and I stayed here to be close to High street so we could celebrate the New Year. The unit was clean and comfortable and was in a great location if you want to be able to walk to night activities. If I came back to town, I'd stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Rowe Rentals

Host profile image
Mike and Ingrid met in Japan and moved to Columbus in 2009 and have been loving it ever since! They are both experienced travelers & love renovating historic homes. It seemed natural to combine their hobbies of traveling and renovating- so they started hosting in 2015. Hello Rowe Rentals! Our team, Frances, Ingrid, and Mike, knows quite a bit about the Short North and are pleased to help you during your stay-please contact Rowe Rentals for any questions!

Why they chose this property

We love old buildings and this one is no exception- it was built around 1910. Unfortunately the only historic parts left of the house interior are the pine wood floors (which are great!)... the rest of the house has been fully renovated.

What makes this property unique

Please note the following about our apartments: Our homes range from 97 to 135 years old. If you are in search of a perfect, flawless place to stay, you may want to look for newer build. We love being hosts- providing a home to stay in and delivering a unique experience when visiting this city but please keep in mind this is not a 5 star hotel, it’s a home.
