This cozy retreat features a full kitchen and all the comforts of home. Perfect for pet lovers and small families looking for a peaceful stay near downtown amenities. Walk or ride the complimentary bicycles to see all the surrounding architecture. (must bring helmet) This beautiful historic home has been newly remodeled with all the finest comforts of home. This is the best location available to rent in Columbus, only steps from everything. Next to Irwin Gardens and 5 architectural monuments. A photographer's dream. Safe and quiet. The Robin's Egg fancies a life of long ago, with warm natural hardwoods and detail in the finishings. But yet, it settles itself on a quiet block of modern Columbus architecture. This was the completion of a project to restore this beautiful home once owned by my beloved friend, Aaron Fry. A loving and giving member of the community, he will be missed. This special place is close to everything, making it easy to plan your visit. The entire home is to you. Enjoy your stay. I'm a text away if needed. Welcoming neighbors and lovely downtown views.
