If you’re looking for a short-term furnished apartment in Columbus, Ohio and hoping to bring your furry friend, you’re in luck: yes, pet friendly furnished apartments do exist. And many are thoughtfully designed to make life easier for both you and your pet.
At Epicurean Furnished Apartments, roughly 70% of our fully furnished units are pet friendly. We believe home should include your whole family—even the four-legged ones.
What Makes a Furnished Apartment Pet Friendly?
A pet friendly furnished apartment goes beyond just allowing pets—it’s designed to make living with pets easy and enjoyable. Here’s what to look for:
- Hard surface floors (easier to clean)
- Ground floor or elevator access
- Nearby green space or walking trails
- Pet-friendly policies with reasonable fees
- Durable, high-quality furniture
All Epicurean pet friendly units are carefully selected to ensure your pet will feel at home and that our furniture stays in great condition.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
Before reserving a furnished apartment with a pet, make sure you clarify:
- Is there a pet fee or deposit?
- Are there breed or size restrictions?
- Is the unit carpeted or hardwood?
- Is there a limit on the number of pets?
- Are there nearby parks or walking areas?
We’re always happy to answer these questions upfront, so you feel confident your stay will be comfortable for everyone. If you would like to learn more on your own, please take a look at how we are different than other apartments.
