Very convenient to explore Mainstrasse and surrounding neighborhoods. The unit was very clean and accommodations were as advertised. Would definitely stay there again.
The location was great and the amenities were great. We were comfortable staying here. The only things that kept me from giving it a five-star rating were, the shower could have been cleaned a little better, the front door lock was quirky and didn't always work the first try, and the blinds didn't shut completely, leaving gaps and compromising our privacy. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much.
My friend and I stayed here for a concert nearby and it was perfect! Super walkable area so many cute dive bars and food options around! Apartment was clean and comfortable for our stay.
My wife and I stayed here over a weekend while visiting with family. It was super clean, super cozy, and the location was perfect. Very close to all the fun bars and restaurants on Main St. If you want to be close to the action it’s perfect and we will definitely be back. Already recommended this place to several other people.
We enjoyed our time at this location and would definitely stay again. It is nestled in a little town with restaurants so we could walk to dinner. There was a lot of people walking in front of the building throughout the evenings because of all the bars/restaurants but it wasn’t an issue for us.
Lovely little neighborhood with easy access into downtown Cincinnati. Stayed on the weekend, was noisy at night as there are bars a couple hundred feet away and people would walk by the front windows but we didn’t mind. Would stay here again!!! Walked through the neighborhood and checked out shops/restaurants/bars. Highly recommend.
Adorable and pristine one bedroom apartment in the heart of downtown Covington, Kentucky. Walk to EVERYTHING. Reservation, check-in and check-out all seamless. Highly recommend!
Loved the ground floor apartment and loved being walking distance to so many restaurants. Also appreciated having a designated parking area.
My only criticism was with my morning coffee - I came prepared for a Coffee maker (in photos) but found a Keurig instead.
The location of this place is super ideal. There's multiple bars and places to eat in a short walking distance. There is a small 5 or 6 car parking lot in the alley next to the apartment. This lot is reserved for people staying in the apartments. So in terms of parking, you shouldn't have any issue. There is also a parking lot across the street for extra cars. Check in was as simple as it gets. Highly recommend this property!
Perfect location for our weekend stay in Covington. Right around the corner from the strip of restaurants and within walking distance to another neighborhood of restaurants and shops. We didn’t do much walking at night, but felt very safe walking everywhere during the day and early evening. Heard a few people walking from the bars to the parking garage directly behind the building, but That’s expected when you’re downtown. We were lucky it wasn’t a home game for the Bengals :)
Very clean, new appliances, bed was pretty comfy. We were short on tp and paper towels so texted Crystal and they were delivered in under 5 min. Had to cut our trip short by 1 night. The only suggestion I have is replacing blind (its warped)in bedroom or add blackout curtains. The streetlight and light from parking garage shines through too much. All in all a pleasant stay.We did stay on St. Pat's weekend and there are a lot of bars in immediate area with lots of foot traffic passing by and was a little noisy.
The property was in a wonderful location, by bars, shops, and restaurants all in walking distance. We even walked over to Paycor Stadium, which was a 25 min walk, but easy with walkways the whole way there.
Property manager communicated well regarding check-in process. Apartment was very clean and set up well. You can hear people walking in different units but was not very distracting. It is in an area with bars and people staying out later in the weekends so we did hear pedestrians late at night but again did not keep us up. Description says can sleep 4, but I would say closer to a comfortable 3 with the couch having a pullout section, but could work if 2 people were okay sleeping cuddled up. Size of sofa bed is between a twin and full.
This location was great for visiting Cincinnati, whether you are going to sporting events, concerts, or museums. There are lots of great bars and restaurants close by too.
