ABOUT:

Welcome to The Halbedel guesthouse, where historical charm and hospitality await.

The name comes from, Mary Halbedel Miller, the widow of William A. Miller, former President of the Godman Shoe Company honored her late husband by building three nursery schools in Columbus, Ohio. This building was the first and it was known as: The North Side Day Nursery. In 1923 she purchased the land and built this Classic Revival building to ensure that young children, whose mothers had to enter the work force, had a place to go where they received three nutritious meals a day, be instructed in music lessons and drawing, and enjoy group games. In 2016 Urban Restorations purchased the building to turn into 6 beautiful apartments and 1 airbnb. But still keeping with its historic charm.

The Space:

Upon entry to your private first floor unit, you'll be greeted by an abundance of natural light, spacious kitchen and living room, and some original pine flooring throughout.

The kitchen is equipped with stainless-steel cooking appliances, basic cookware, quartz countertops, and seating for casual dining. Additionally, there is a small coffee station to kickstart your mornings.

The contemporary living room boasts an extra deep sofa, two side chairs, and a smart TV for entertainment. And extra sleeping with pull-out trundle cabinet. For those that need a place to work from home, we have it right in front of the beautiful oversized windows. The color palette of blues and greens creates a cool and sophisticated ambiance, while window treatments strike a balance between privacy and natural light.

Stay was just as we hoped - my sister and I were in town for a concert and wanted something within walking distance to the venue. The location was great, clean and cozy, and we had some great dining spots within walking distance too (breakfast, coffee, etc). Just what we needed for our quick trip!

We came to Columbus because my child attended a camp at Ohio State University for the week and I wanted to be pretty close. We looked at hotels which would have been well over 1,000 to stay the week nearby. So when this listing came up and was so cheap for the week I couldn't believe it. I honestly didn't have high hopes because it seemed too good to be true but it was exactly as advertised. And it all started when the host sent me the PIN to the apartment the day beforehand so there was no question whether or not I would be able to get a hold of the host to get in. As soon as you walk through the doors there is a book that tells you about local places, the cleanup rules, hospitals and emergency places, and so on. You walk into a beautiful foyer and the rest of the house is exactly like the pictures. The air conditioning was cranking which we appreciated since it was in the 90s all week. It was a super quick to high Street and just overall convenient in every way. There's a really long driveway that is all yours so you don't have to worry about people parking behind you or anything like that. And parking in Columbus is tricky so it was so great to be able just to leave the car and walk everywhere. I didn't have to communicate with the host all that much but what I did they were responsive. It was a great experience and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better place to stay well being in Columbus for five nights

Very nice place. Nicely decorated. Had everything we needed. Very convenient location. Close to the bike trail. Close to lots of restaurants and downtown. Very much enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend.

Outstanding property. The drinking water, well, not so drinkable. Maybe the host would leave 5 gallons of portable water in the fridge for guests? John
