    CHECK OUT: Check out is at 11 AM.

    PARKING: There is one off-street spot behind the house, as well as free on-street parking on any of the nearby streets.

    CAMERAS: In order to prevent parties, there are two Ring cameras on the property that record all motion in the front and back yards. They are attached to the front and back porches of the house and face outward so they cannot record the interior of the house in any way.

    OTHER: This is a duplex, so you may hear noise from the other side of the unit. We are pet friendly, so there may be dogs on the other side of the low fence between units.

    5% of the proceeds from all stays are donated to Nationwide Children's Hospital.

Great house near the short north

The house was exactly as described. The video games and decor were super fun. The host was very response and easy to get ahold of. We went out in the short north one night close to the conference center and we walked back as it was nice out and not an overly long walk.

Amazing setup!

This property has to be the most unique and fun places my friends and I stayed at. We were in for 5-nights while attending local music festival and the stay was just perfect. Did I say the property had multiple working arcades? The location is a must for any GoT fans, it’s filled with lots of memorabilia and trinkets. Would definitely love to return to this property given the chance at our next visit to Columbus!

Great stay

The check-in process and communication with the host was excellent. Instructions were clear and accurate. The property was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The shower was amazing. There were fun little details all throughout the house with the interesting decor. We took our dog for walks around the neighborhood and felt very safe. The property is in a convenient, central location. If it wasn't raining the whole weekend, we would have enjoyed the yard, as well. Overall, we had a great stay.

Great location, unique decor

The house was in a great location, close to campus (walkable to High St restaurants) in a quiet neighborhood. Definitely unique decor- a little over the top unless you’re a diehard Game of Thrones fan but fun nonetheless! Communication with property owner was great, easy checkin process. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. The shower was fun, a definite upgrade with all the sprayers! We didn’t use the kitchen so can’t speak to the supplies there. House was a little musty, could use an air freshener or two but otherwise was a really nice place to stay and we would stay again!

The host was very accommodating, and the house was in good condition—It was clean, quiet, and parking was a great city experience. Loved the proximity to grocery, restaurants/bars, and Arena District. Seamless check-in & check-out. The Game of Thrones theme made it memorable!

Great house. Rooms were good with nice beds. Decoration was a something different than ordinary and made it unique. Heat worked great, felt nice and cozy. Backyard was nice space for pets. Recliners in the living room were awesome, along with TV's in all the rooms. Plenty of games and fun for the family. Would definitely stay here again. Three thumbs up.
