Our neighborhood Franklinton is situated just west of Downtown Columbus, and is full of historic homes. This neighborhood has experienced many phases through out it's existence, and is currently in a revitalization phase. There are lots of properties being renovated, and some that still remain boarded and empty. This area has experienced some crime in the past, but has improved in recent years.
Franklinton has experienced several great floods in the past, and has been somewhat neglected throughout the middle to late part of the 1900's. The Franklinton Floodwall, completed in 2004, is 7 miles long, cost $134 million. The wall's completion has released the area from being considered a floodplain, as well as releasing the previous building restrictions that often prevented development in the past. As a result, commercial and industrial activities are starting to grow in the Franklinton Area.
The City of Columbus is focusing on creating a new Short North style neighborhood in Franklinton through developing an urban creative district. This new neighborhood is now centered between Gift, Town, Lucas, and Rich Streets. Key developers have purchased existing buildings and are working to refurbish existing buildings to retain the character of Franklinton.
Uber and Lyft are great ways to get around in Columbus, and our central location allows you to get to most parts of downtown in under 10 minutes, and most other parts of Columbus in under 20 minutes.
We also are close to a COTA public bus stop. Also available in columbus are a bike share, and Byrd and Lime scooters!

Great Stay
Nice property! Would suggest a backyard light for nighttime, hot pads for removing things from the oven, a TV in the bedroom(s), books for reading, and repair the walls & the Foosball table. M

TOTAL NIGHTMARE - SO GROSS THAT WE DIDN'T STAY
Short summary... this place was a scam. The good reviews are complete lies. The house was FILTHY, we left immediately, and they refused to offer reasonable solutions or refund us our money.
For more details, here is the long version. We booked for Mon-Thurs. On Mon we arrived at 8pm after traveling all day. I have a newborn and a 3yr old, who's bedtime is 8:30pm. Upon arrival the house was HOT and smelled of stale smokey air. The entry rug was so grimy and stained that the white areas on it were actually brown. The fans in the whole house were caked in dust, so we couldn't even turn those on to cool off. Upstairs there wasn't a vent in the master bedroom. We also found that the towels left on the beds for us to use were WET! It was also apparent that no one had vacuumed since there were food crumbs in the living room rug and a popsicle laying in the floor of a bedroom. There was a door with sticky residue running all down it. Every piece of furniture in the living room was filthy and stained too. There were cobwebs on the walls. It was very evident that the house had not been cleaned. We were only in the house for about 20 minutes and my sons eye was swelling and turning red from all of the dust.
Since I needed to get my kids to bed, it was getting dark, we were in a rough area- we packed back up in the car and went to a hotel. By the time we got the car unloaded, showered (bc we felt gross after being in the house), and got the kids to bed it was almost 11pm, so we went to sleep. I messaged the property managers first thing in the morning and told them of the disgusting condition and requested a refund. They began by offering a cleaning of the home or moving us to another house, which was unreasonable since I already found other accommodations. We went back and forth on this all day Tuesday. By Wednesday they finally mentioned that we could get our money back if we cancelled and someone else booked it (this is also unreasonable though since someone would have had to book it the same day). However, by this time there wasn't even an option for me to do that in the app. Throughout all the back and forth they also mentioned that they could give me a courtesy $45 if I didn't leave any "misleading" reviews, and after 2 weeks their final offer was $70. This was ridiculous and insulting since I paid almost $500! Overall they said that since I didn't call the night of, they couldn't do much about it. DO NOT FALL INTO THIS TRAP! k

Terribly managed property. It was dirty, reeked of smoke & in a sketchy neighborhood.
Upon arrival, we still had not gotten any check in instructions. Had to call VRBO customer service to get in. The only positive thing I can say was it was spacious and had a washer and dryer dishwasher, and the bathrooms appeared clean. It REEKED of smoke, and the kitchen & eat in were dirty (we had to wipe everything down with Lysol wipes we brought). There was a coffee pot full of burnt sludge coffee) & they did not have any kitchen towels, garbage bags or a place to take out the trash. The listing said sleeps 8 and well stocked- yet there was less than a full roll of toilet paper In each bathroom and maybe 4-5 bath towels. The only only adequate supply of anything was dishes, and dishwasher soap . The furniture was grossly stained, so I found a closet full of sheets that I washed and put over each piece to feel comfortable during our stay. Bring your own pillows! Although there was plenty of them, they were also dirty & very lumpy. The backyard had a broken gate and was open to the alley. The deck was not usable as it was extremely dirty, no lights and no chairs. The backyard yard was mud & overgrown weeds, trash & broken chairs.
Neighborhood (at least this street) was trashy (literally trash everywhere on the sidewalks- not a very safe neighborhood, and definitely not family friendly. This property is meant for a weekend of partying- would NOT Recommend for a family stay Or anyone with any kind of allergies. The property management company was quick to respond to our complaints and offered to come over and do a treatment for the smoke smell, however, it would have been a major disruption in our stay because we would of had to vacate for several hours, So I turned them down. They also offered a late noon checkout and two discounted nights, which originally I thought was a good idea, but after the overall experience we were eager to leave early am, and I would never stay at that property or in that area again.
