Excellent property, location, and host!

The apartment was very cute and felt very relaxing. Just like home. The location was excellent for access to Riverbend and Newport on the Levee. We also went to Molly Malones for dinner and live music (it was also excellent!) I would highly recommend this location and host!

Amazing Top Floor Loft

My husband and I loved our stay here. The building is over a hundred years old and has been renovated to keep its charm and updated with modern conveniences. The owner was easy to communicate with and check in and out was very easy. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. And the neighborhood was very nice as well. We will definitely stay here again.

A cozy, comfortable retreat

The apartment is very comfortable with all the nooks and nuances of an older home. While the stairs might be a challenge for some, the third-floor roost offers quiet, as well as good views of the neighborhood. Downtown is just a few blocks away, and a grocery is within walking distance.

Terrific Spot!

Elizibeth's third floor hideaway is perfect. Delightful, nicely appointed, and spotlessly clean. We arrived in the dark, so it was a bit tricky to see the entrance but we found our way just fine. Guests should take account of the stairs--a bit of a challenge schlepping our bags up, but we were well aware because Elizabeth made it very clear in the listing. I strongly recommend this spot. It was perfect for our stay in Covington/Cincinnati! Thank you, Elizabeth.

Pleasant stay in Covington!

We had a great time at Elizabeth’s apartment. Easy check in and very secure apartment (locked gate and two key pads to separate entrance). No issues finding street parking. Comfy bed, stocked kitchen and bathroom. We were in town for a concert in Cincinnati but we also explored Covington. We felt safe in the neighbourhood and had no issues getting Ubers. We also did a lot of walking. Lots of stairs to get to the third floor but no issues at all for us, just make sure you are aware of this. We were very thankful for A/C as it was very hot when we were there. We would recommend!

Clean spaces. Coffee maker didn’t work. Attic in very old home, so was very drafty with little insulation. On street corner, a lot of traffic noise. Had problems getting access to property. Neighbor had to help me. No silverware in kitchen. Lovely old home that felt like a ghost house to me.

Everything was as it was stated on the property listing. The kitchen had everything you needed in order to cook and eat. The bed was comfortable, the indoor temp was good, great water heater with reslly good pressure, and the place was very clean and well stocked. The owner is very sweet and fantastic at communication. The backyard is very nice with the koi pond, the seating area, etc. I will definitely be going back in the future.

Fantastic stay, couldn't ask for more, Elizabeth, the host showed me around. She is very gracious and goes the extra mile every step of the way. The location is central to everything, easy to get around, even if just walking within Covington, the walk to Cincinnati isn't even all that bad. Very nice home with more than ample space, an old home that has been revitalized, very beautiful, highly recommended!

The inside of the house is very nice, lots of charm, immaculate. The house number was not visible, and the parking not available Sunday night through the week nights due to morning street sweeping is inconvenient. Hostess very communicative and you can tell she takes pride in the beauty of her home.

Visit to our former hometown

We spent 1 month in this darling 3rd floor apartment just a quick walk to downtown Covington and across the river to Cincinnati. The neighborhood was quiet, Elizabeth was an amazing host and there never was an issue with street parking. I would highly recommend this stunning Victorian home for your next vacation. You will never find a better host than Elizabeth.
