This was absolutely the best experience I've had in a rental! It was truly SPOTLESS and the setting was incredible. The beds were so comfortable, and the shower was amazing. Communication was by far the fastest and most accommodating we've ever had. We will 100% return!
Awesome location, very clean and modern home. Easy access to and from the freeway and close to many restaurants, bars, and attractions. We enjoyed our stay.
Jungle house was a pleasure to stay in. Close to the Convention Center and restaurants. Very clean, nicely equipped and stylish. Owner communicated very well and was flexible in working with me for the need for extended parking. Would definitely stay here again.
Very nice spacious place, plenty of room. Super clean! Wonderful host who was very accommodating during a family emergency. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a convenient location, close walking distance, but still quiet.

Jungle House
Everything was great! Took all of our kids and felt very safe! Area was pretty and it was a unique experience! Would definitely recommend!
The description of The Urban Jungle was spot on. It was very clean, and many thoughtful additions were surprising to encounter. We brought a small package of coffee, but we were able to use the supplied Local Coffee. The pans, plates, and silverware were high quality. You could feel the thoughtfulness throughout the whole location. We enjoyed our visit and would stay here again in the future.

Comfortable and CLEAN home!
Such a comfortable and CLEAN home! It was the perfect combination of being comfortable and homelike and also having every need/being extremely clean like a hotel. Definitely recommend! Sergio was also very helpful when we needed somewhere to stay extremely last minute
Had a quick visit to Columbus and this was a perfect stay. convenient location to downtown and OSU. beautifully well lit and felt like home.
There were no closets available in the bedroom for storage, and the two downstairs were locked. So, that would be challenging for a longer stay or with the family.
The property was very fun and felt like a retreat. It was a little pricey, however, I’m grateful we were able to book a house for one night and it’s a great walkable area with good food. Also, Italian village has some unique older homes like this one and it was definitely recently updated. The communication was amazing and made the check in and check out process super easy. No hassles!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay here! The house is super cute and very clean. Beds were very comfy. Loved the shower. Sergio was a great host and very responsive. Lots of stairs / very steep staircase so definitely keep in mind depending on who you are traveling with. Neighborhood is fine - not the best/not the worst. High street right around the corner so plenty of things to do within walking distance.

My husband, teenage daughter & I stayed here for my son's graduation from Ohio State. We love the Short North & this house is located in a perfect spot, a few blocks off High near great restaurants and shops. The beds are amazing, the house is spotless, & communication was great. The plants are really beautiful and give such a warm feeling to the house. I used the kitchen to prepare snacks & had everything I needed. Guests should pay attention to the description about the stairs to get into the house and steep stairs to access the bathroom & bedrooms. The third-floor stairs were uncomfortably steep for me, but my daughter was ok with them.
We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Jungle House!
Beautiful space - looks exactly like the photos. Plenty of room for all four guests and the location cannot be beat. Would definitely recommend staying here, the host was incredibly easy to communicate with and replied in a very timely manner. We only stayed for one evening, but I would definitely stay here for longer, or for an evening if I was in Columbus again!
The only thing to note would be that the checkout time was 10 a.m., and this was just a little earlier than we had hoped for (however a late checkout option is available for a fee).
Loved the vibe this older home has. You can tell Sergio has thought of every detail from the junglehouse theme decor down to the local coffee in the kitchen and everything in between. Most comfortable bed I've slept in by far in any vacation rental. Felt safe in the neighborhood and was within walking distance to local shops, restaurants, and Goodale Park. Only downfall were the steps and a second floor only bathroom, but nothing that can really be done about that! Our labrador comfortably stayed with us as well.
My husband and I arrived at 5pm in the evening and were exhausted after a 3 hour drive. We didn't find the furniture very comfortable or relaxing. The living room sofa was too wide and the pillows on it were too small for back support. The swinging chair is not a type chair you can relax in because it does not have back support. We had a pizza delivered and the table had bar stools, without backs, which weren't very comfortable. The place is decorated very cute but it's not practical for older adults.

The host is easily the best host I’ve ever stayed with. He is reachable by text, and promptly responds; he checks in throughout your stay to ensure that everything is going well. The property is gorgeous, spacious, and modern. Located just a few steps from the Short North dining and bar area, but with none of the noise that comes from being closer to that street. The building is a duplex, and you can hear the neighbors moving about. HOWEVER, the host provides fans and white noise machines … so this mitigated much of that issue, and the noise was no worse than staying in a regular hotel. If your a light sleeper, just bring earplugs, or take the upstairs bedroom. AND, the host provided local coffee for the machine, detergent, free samples of cereal, little treats to snack on, and so many other kind touches - I truly felt like I was staying in a resort. I was in town for a seven day conference, and this VRBO made it feel like I was at home. Book now!
My partner and I came into town for a concert & this VRBO was the perfect stay for our trip. Communication with the owner was easy and I felt like we had all the info we needed for a smooth check in. The house is beautiful, just as it is shown in the photos. It was actually more spacious than I thought it would be. The sound machine was on when we arrived with birds chirping to greet us. It was exceptionally clean and we had everything we needed. The living room is cozy- the orange couch and swinging egg chair are fab. The kitchen is just the right size and the dining room is a plus. All of the furniture throughout is beautiful. We didn’t use the third floor bedroom but it would be an excellent space for a family trip because of the two extra beds. The bed in the master bedroom is super comfy with extra pillows and blankets provided. The bathroom is nice- two sinks and a beautiful shower. There is a washer/dryer as well. It does have street parking, but we were able to park very nearby. The walk down to High St to check out some restaurants and bars was less than 5 minutes. The owner let us add a late checkout at the last minute and that was greatly appreciated. This is definitely a 5 star stay and we’d love to stay again. The aesthetic is super pleasing and the location is perfect.
This was a perfect little townhome within walking distance to the convention center. Perfect for my business trip. The host was very helpful and responsive. If I’m ever back in Columbus I would definitely stay here again!
