It was a nice place to stay! Probably not the best for younger kids, especially toddlers, but that's not on the host. It's just the way the suite is designed.

Great location for walking to downtown Columbus. It was very clean and well appointed. The 3rd bedroom is a bit of a stretch - both of our kids were a bit freaked out by the outside access and staircase into the room.

Everything was just perfect in this beautiful, historic home.The space was described accurately and the kitchen was wonderful for cooking a quick meal. And check in was so easy. The location is wonderful for walking to all of Columbus' downtown sites and events. Our family from FL loved everything about it and want to come back in the fall for a family birthday!
