Amazing Location!
Sergio was a great host, very responsive and helpful! The entire place was beautiful, spacious, and it was so clean! It’s also in a great spot, with restaurants and shop’s right next to it. Everything was walking distance. I definitely plan to stay here again and would recommend to everyone, it truly is a beautiful stay with a great host!
It was in an ideal location, but the parking area was sketchy. It was decorated in cute, jungle theme, loved the little extras touches to the bedrooms and the kitchen!

Great Place to stay in Short North! The apartment is clean and updated and the Owners were very responsive with questions and needs for assistance. Well Done Sergio!
Property is well appointed, clean and host is helpful.
The homeless are camping on street in front of property. Very noisy and disturbing at night. Neighbors are smoking lots of weed stinking up stairwell and apartment when door is opened to enter or leave.
A bit too edgy of a neighborhood for our comfort. A
couple blocks south and it would be ok.
The hosts were so patient and helpful, which is greatly appreciated by such a large group! Our stay was so zen and peaceful, we will definitely be back! Thanks, Ri & the fam!
My stay was nothing short of amazing. Immediately when I walked in, I felt at home. Everything about the space makes you feel like you’ve always stayed there, and the surroundings match the overall energy that the apartment gives. You immediately feel as if this is someplace that you would decorate yourself and you had always lived there. The apartment is completely intuitive. It is easy to navigate. Nothing is hard to find, and everything is easily someplace that you know that you would’ve put it yourself. It is not hard to say this could easily be someplace that you’ve always lived. I felt at home. I felt at peace, and I felt as if if I lived in Columbus, this would’ve been someplace that I would have designed and lived in myself. I will absolutely come back and I will absolutely book this place again. The Jungle House is 100% my favorite place in Columbus, Ohio.
The Jungle House is a great place to stay for any Columbus activities or events, especially Short North, Downtown, or campus areas. We were pleased with every aspect of the apartment. The nicely decorated theme of exposed brick, modern furniture, and house plants provides an at-home feel, including comfy bed and appointed with great amenities. The unit is super clean and neat. Host Sergio goes the extra mile to make sure everything has been done to perfection and provides great communication to get you checked in and ready to enjoy your stay. Everything is laid back and super easy.
This is a nice apartment downtown near all the restaurants and bars. The host added some little perks like a basket of granola bars and ramen on the kitchen counter for the guests. This was much appreciated as I was coming in and out of the unit for short periods of rest during a family member’s long hospital stay. I really appreciated the host’s communication and kindness throughout. I will definitely be rebooking next time I’m in town.
We enjoyed our stay here, and it was very accessible to anywhere in the Short North (Pole). The Jungle House was clean and spacious and well-supplied. Thank you!
We stayed here while visiting our son at OSU. The apartment is in a great area, lots of places to eat, good energy. Sergio was super nice and responded quickly to all of our questions. Beautiful plants! Would stay again.
The apartment was super comfortable and very convenient to the Short North area of Columbus. Sergio was very easy to contact and super responsive to any questions that we had.
Active area with so much to see and do with an added plus, everythings close near. Sergio is very prompt in response and accommodating, making my stay even more inviting (5⭐️)
Took a second to find it but we were so pleasantly surprised when we did! Thank you!

Beware of parking & bring ear plugs
The apartment is lovely; however, the batteries in the smoke detector needed to replaced and the chirp was the music of the night. In the morning, I found my window broken in and learned many cars in the neighborhood were broken into that night. Beware.
