Jungle House Modern Lofts – Arena District & Short North
I did not have a pleasant experience at this property. This property states it can sleep up to 6, it can barely sleep 4 people comfortably. The host handled the situation terribly. I paid for two night and only stood for one because of the bad experience. Never again.

Jungle House Luxury Stays - Downtown Columbus & Short North
Terrible. They charged my card after check out. Be careful with putting a deposit. If you do be sure to cancel your card info after they return your deposit. They take a deposit for damages but used mine to charge for 'Additional guest' When I didn't have additional guest.
