Do not stay at this weekly fully furnished 1 bedroom apartment. They go under the name of Columbus weekly stay, Columbus Apartel and Apartel USA. The furnishings are run down, the neighbor is not safe to be out in at night. They use your social security number as a password to get into the gated parking area and also the password to get into your building. They know when you leave and return. They turn the electric off when you leave the building to save money or if you are late with your rent. They charge $115 deposit for the apartment and another $15 for a mailbox. You must give them a two day notice before you move out.
We meet all our responsibilities and complied with all their rules. Deposits were suppose to be returned within 4-5 weeks of move out. It has been over 8 weeks and no deposit refunds and no replies to any messages about the refund deposits. The photos of the apartments online and listed on craigslist look nothing like the units. The building is gated and there are security guards for a reason. It's like a prison. It is not a safe place to stay even for a week. Rent is paid weekly at $250. If you are 1 hour late you are hit with a large late fee. They look for any reason to squeeze more money from you. Do yourself a favor and go to a hotel and get the weekly rates. It will be cheaper and safer and you will get breakfast included at a hotel.
