Flight
The Columbus airport is easy and breezy to fly in and out of. Southwest has a very reasonably priced direct flight in and out of Oakland if you're flying from the Bay Area. :)
House Or Rental
There are lots of great options on AirBnB here in Columbus. We live in Clintonville, but there are lots of cool neighborhoods to stay here. Pro tip; avoid the University District unless you wanna get down at some college parties and drink cheap beer out of red solo cups.
