I enjoyed the house, even with the minor but frequent issues we had. Wasn’t able to check in early, but team was good about replying with responses. Location worked well for us and was peaceful, with ample parking. Thank you. We would love to come back sometime.

I had an excellent stay at the City Cottage in Columbus. The home was comfortable, well laid out, and had everything I needed for an extended stay. I especially appreciated the full kitchen, washer and dryer, private parking, and having the entire cottage to myself.
The location was also very convenient—close to downtown Columbus while still providing a quiet, private place to come back to at the end of the day. The upstairs bedroom and bathroom provided plenty of space, and the overall setup made the cottage feel much more like a home than a typical short-term rental.
Housepitality did a great job hosting, and the property matched the description well. I stayed for nearly a month and would absolutely recommend the City Cottage to anyone visiting Columbus for either a short trip or an extended stay. I would gladly stay here again.
5 stars and highly recommended!

Overall okay place to stay. Can’t beat the location was within 10 minutes of everything you would want to do. Tv in bedroom was not working and was told to use app on phone but could not even turn tv on. Wasn’t the cleanest as we found food under rolling table that was from previous guest. Team was very responsive. Would say they needed alittle up keep outside done as the grass was super long and weeds scratch as you walk from your car to apartment. Overall good place to stay when visiting, would stay again
