Horrible
The key pad did not work and communication was horrible. I was never able to get ahold of the manager so I had to call vrbo to get refunded and find somewhere else to stay for the night at 8pm. Completely unacceptable!!!

Simple improvements would make a difference
The property has lots of character, but the lock box was not working, though the outside door has a keypad. There were no hand towels in the bathroom, the shower curtain and liner were mildewed, and there were no kitchen towels. Mattresses are not super comfortable. Box springs may help.

Catastrophic but we got our money back
1. No attention paid to landscaping in the yard.
2. There is only one entrance exit to the unit. While I am unfamiliar with Columbus’ building and fire codes, i can’t imagine that that is permissible. Regardless, it’s unsafe.
The porch. Access to the exterior porch adjacent to the sunroom was blocked even though the property details in the VRBO advert suggested that it was part of Cozy Cottage.
3. VRBO advertised a 2 BR oasis with parking, There was no parking and we were left to fend for ourselves on the street.
4. The tan carpet in the television room was filthy with what looked like visible pet stains on it.
5. The stove was filthy and had visible grease on the stovetop and in the broiler.
6. The refrigerator exterior looked as if someone had tried to clean it with a dirty rag and, sure enough, there was a dirt-caked rag with a puddle of water in a drawer beneath the sink.
7. The door to the rear bedroom locked when my wife closed the door and she could not unlock it from inside the bedroom. I had to use a screwdriver to unlock the door. It took a little time to do that.
8. The bed in the small front bedroom tilts toward the headboard.
9. Water cascaded into the kitchen from the third floor for an extended period.
10. We did get a full refund, so good on you.

Communication is key
Overall this was a nice place to stay. There were a couple hiccups with check in but the host communicated wonderfully and we were able to get them resolved. The beds definitely need an update. They were a little uncomfortable.

Bright and spacious, but some noise
Lovely unit on the 2nd floor of a 3-story building. Bright and spacious, fairly well-equipped. Apparently newly renovated, could use some finishing touches (no clothes hooks in bathroom or bedrooms, no clothes rods in closets). The most troublesome concern was significant noise from the upstairs unit. Footsteps were loud, music and voices were noticable. Carpets upstairs might help.
