The home is on the top floor of a quadruplex located entirely on the second floor so there is a flight of steps once you enter through the front door. The home is a part of a quadruplex, each completely separate & private, but bear in mind they do share a wall for possible neighbor noise.. we have white noise machines & fans to help for light sleepers!
The home is located literally a few steps from Short North Downtown Columbus
Please take note that the original hardwood floors and staircases may not be suitable for children as it is not child-friendly!

Nice place. Check in was easy. Was able to get work done (work trip). Noise wasnt an issue. Clean and super nice / responsive people when I called to ask questions. Would def use again.
We attended a concert at Nationwide Arena. It was a 10min walk to the Arena District, where we had dinner prior to the concert. After the concert, we walked back to the property to change, then took a short walk around Goodale Park to Insomnia Cookies for a late night snack! Beautiful old homes along the way.
This was a great property, perfect place for a weekend getaway trip!
What a wonderful stay at the Jungle House! Communication with host was a model for how it should be done—early communication, clear descriptions of location/parking/check-in, messages to ask if everything was okay, etc. SIX stars for communication!!Location is fantastic. It’s very close to the locations I needed and an added bonus of a nice little walking park nearby. Loved this. Be aware (and this was clearly detailed in the description) that you are near a highway and will occasionally hear traffic, horns, or and/or sirens but it really isn’t terrible. I was expecting much worse. The house is very neat and clean with only a few very minor maintenance items necessary that I’ve messaged the owner about. Not significant enough for me to lower the rating because I’m certain they will be addressed and they really are minor. Some items to be aware of if you decide to stay (and you should): the stairwell going up is a little low. I’m 6’5” and had to duck going up and down the stairs. Probably not an issue for most people but if you’re tall like me it’s something to be aware of before you book. The other item is the mattress, which was WAY too soft for my taste. I didn’t downgrade my rating because I recognize many people don’t like or need a firm mattress like I prefer but if you are like me just know that this mattress is like a pillowy sinkhole. Despite all that I would absolutely return next time I need a stay in Columbus. Thanks again for a great stay!
