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!

This was a great location with excellent communication with the host. Next time I'm in town this will definitely be on my list of places to stay. The live plants make it feel more like a home then a rental.

Exploring the Urban Jungle

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.

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.

Beautiful, cozy apartment

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.

Beautiful, relaxing house in walking distance to Short North

I was really impressed with the location of this one, you can walk to restaurants, bars and coffee shops in the Short North from the house. The decorating and all the plants are so beautiful and fun!! The third top finished attic level is great, but the AC had a hard time keeping it cool in 90+ summer heat. Feels like a retreat, safe haven.

Great Communication and no hassles

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!

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.

Incredible stay in Jungle House

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).
