Wonderful experience overall. Location is close to a bunch of restaurants. Had to set up a separate login for the 'Hostfully' platform. It became a bit confusing who we were renting from (VRBO, Hostfully, Rowe Rentals)

We really enjoyed this house. Great walking distance to several restaurants and shops! You can hear traffic noise in the front bedrooms but they did have sound machines. The back bedrooms were pretty quiet. Even with the traffic noise, we would absolutely stay there again. The parking concrete slab is slanted and would be difficult for a big vehicle, but you can rent the garage or do street parking (must pay for it). Again, can’t beat the location and size of the home!! Great communication as well!!!

We chose this house due to its proximity to our rehearsal dinner and the wedding venue (all within a block to less than 1/2 mile). We had 2 kids, age 2 and 7 months so when they needed to leave it was easy to get them home.
We gathered in the kitchen/living area as it accommodated all of us ( 8). The house is well stocked with just about anything you would need. We used the noise machines provided and slept very well. Everyone had their own room which is helpful with younger children.I would recommend this house for comfort and walk ability. It’s great for large groups or families.
The hosts are easily accessible and respond quickly to questions or concerns. The only issue would be parking which is really not a house issue but a city issue. We did rent the garage which worked out perfectly for us. We had a MDX and an Enclave which fit.

We stayed in this house so we could be close to the James. We were happy to find a beautiful house that was well stocked with all the things we found need. The house is within walking distance to High St. which has every type of restaurant you could hope for. Overall our stay was great and we would definitely stay again.

We checked in on a Thurs. afternoon. We rented the garage in back. Good for smaller cars, we had a hard time getting a suburban on one side. Parking out front was okay. Somewhat of a hassle to put the code in every 24 hours. Summit is a very busy street during the week. The front bedrooms you could hear traffic, but wore earplugs. The living/kitchen area was GREAT to visit in. They offer 2 highchairs and a pack and play, which was nice. We LOVED that huge area for a larger group. Used the patio out back and that was wonderful for nice weather. We would book this house again. Thanks

Great location (walking distance to shops and restaurants) and nice place. There was an issue with the alarm going off but was promptly addressed by the property manager. Other than that highly recommend.

We were very satisfied with every aspect of our stay at this property. The owners put a lot of thought into making the house comfortable and homey. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of pillows & extra blankets. Bathrooms were immaculate & supplied with plenty of towels. The kitchen was a dream! We plan to stay there next year!

Everything we needed and more! The fridge was enormous !!!! No worries when cooking for a large group! The location was great just a short walk to get to all the bars and restaurants. I would defiantly stay in this house again.

So much space, so much privacy for each guest. No waiting for a bathroom. Kitchen was enormous, big table, lots of seating. Couches comfy, could use a big sectional for as many people as this rental fits..Possibly in the lower level..just a suggestion. Beds super comfy, sheets soft, pillows fluffy, plenty of towels. Pretty much everything to make you feel at home. We had a wonderful visit with our daughter and her new fiance and his family. We may be back here for the wedding!! Thank you Big Blue we loved you! Plus thats what our home in NY is called!!

The house and location were perfect. Walking distance to Short North and only a little over 1 mile to campus. The owners were great to work with from the second we booked until checkout. Very smooth process. Would absolutely rent this location again.

The property was as good as the listing suggests. The rooms were big, beds comfortable, and the common area was able to accommodate our group. We had a mix of generations in Columbus for game day and it was an amazing house for us to gather. The location is great; we walked to the Short North (with strollers) and to Seventh Son Brewery / Budd Dairy with no issue at all. We will certainly look to Big Blue for our next game day reunion.

We rented this for an OSU home game with friends. The property is in a prime location in Short North. The house was very clean, updated and even bigger in person that what the photos could show. This was the easiest check-in/check-out process I've ever had. There have been some reviews where renters have said the parking situation was not ideal, but I disagree. Parking is easy on the streets and the garage can be rented for a small cost. I would 100% rent again and we all raved about the property!

My multi-generational family stayed here for a long weekend for a family member's wedding. We had Grandpa-91 yrs od, Great Aunt-86 yrs old, 4 -50-60 yrs old, and 5-20 's yrs old. Plenty room for everyone, comfortable beds, and very clean. one blip with a wrong key code to get in the house, but otherwise everything was great! I had some problems with the Columbus parking app, but that wasn't the owners' problem!

AMAZING HOUSE
I rented this house for my sister’s bachelorette party. We had a large group so we needed a large house. I booked this house because of its size and location. When we arrived, I was amazed at how nice the place is. I’ve stayed in other houses in the past where the pictures are deceiving. These pictures are not. The house was beautiful!! Many of the people staying with me complimented the house. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Place
Our stay was terrific! The place was clean and comfortable, and the hosts were very responsive,
FYI, I gave it four stars for location because I had to drive our crew cab truck and some of the neighborhood roads were very narrow and challenging. Cars had to stop and make room for me to get through.
5.0
The house was fantastic and location perfect for walking to shops, food and fun. It is right by the interstate, so is pretty loud at night with cars speeding by. Definitely bring a sound machine! No complaints about the house itself.
