Do not move here!
Living at The Mercantile is unpleasant and frustrating. Before moving in, I was NOT told that there would be Airbnb’s located in the same area as the rented apartment units, that random (sometimes drunk) guests from the downstairs event space (Flat 51) or the Dueling Axes bar would be able to come to the apartment lobby, or that I would be able to hear loud rock music playing every Saturday night from The Walrus restaurant close by. It was only after moving in when I realized that resident… safety and comfort is not a main priority at The Mercantile. In addition to the things I mentioned, the building is so poorly insulated/constructed that you hear EVERYTHING your neighbors are doing (and they hear everything you’re doing). I have been woken up countless times anywhere from 10:00 pm to 4:00 am due to my upstairs or next door neighbors flushing toilets, showering, turning on lights, speaking, playing music, etc. It’s truly uncomfortable being able to hear every noise anyone makes at any time. I have lived in multiple other apartments in Columbus and did not experience any of these issues until I moved here. Please save yourself the headaches and sleepless nights and DO NOT MOVE HERE!
