This is a great property to rent if you want to be close to Cincinnati without being "in" the city. We enjoyed a night at Braxton Brewery (~2 minute walk from the rental) as well as Point Perk coffee (~4 minute walk). We walked to the Newport Aquarium as well, which was an easy 30minute walk. The amenities in the rental were good and it was nice to sit on the 2nd story deck at night. The only minor issue I had was with parking because the assigned spot is small for a full-sized truck. However I contacted the property agency and they helped me find parking close by, which was fantastic! I highly recommend this rental, especially for the price and convenience of the area.

Perfectly located for our trip to Cincinnati, and the Covington area itself had many options for food and drink, too. The unit was clean and had everything we needed for our long weekend.

Horrifying
We had to leave when we arrived because there was a homeless person sleeping on the entrance stairs to the apartment. Additionally, the neighbor came out upset because we got too close to his parking lot and ordered us to move the car. The arrival was a disaster and we had to leave because we feared for our lives...

Wonderful getaway!
We were in town for a wedding and this was a wonderful place for my family! I was a little nervous when walking in to the first floor entrance because there was a cigarette smell, but that didn’t carry through into the unit at all. The unit looked just like the pictures online and the site manager was quick to reply and incredibly helpful. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were also incredibly comfortable and we were amazed how quiet the bedrooms were in the busy area! This is a beautiful place and I’m hoping to stay again in the future!

Nice stay close to events!
We had a great stay! We actually rented the top floor and the 2nd floor to accommodate our needs and it was so nice! You can enter from both the front or back! Gorgeous ceiling height and great amenities for being such a historic area. Close to all events at the Madison and Hotel Covington! Air conditioning worked great even in the heat wave!!

Anniversary Celebration in Covington, Ky.
Our stay in Covington at 712 Madison, was outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The residence was cozy and perfect. Great location as it is within walking distance of several good places to eat. We were celebrating our anniversary and wanted to go somewhere we had never been. Loved it! Lots to see and do in the Covington, Ky/Cincinnati, OH area and everything was easily accessible. We would stay here again if back in the area, and we highly recommend this as the place to stay!! Thank you very much!

Up and coming
It is an up and coming area with a lot to see around you. Having the bedrooms in the back is nice because you can hear everything below in front and there was music playing every night. We weren’t really bugged by it because you are staying in the city. I think blackout and noise reduction curtains would be a good option for the living room window. The place was cute and it was clean. More throws and pillowcases would be nice too but, overall it was a great space.

It would have been nice to have extra blankets due to the cold weather and the tub needs some kind of anti-slip or grab bars for safety.

This gem was exactly what we needed for our weekend away! Very well stocked for visitors! Quite and beautifully decorated, as well as comfortable and clean. We enjoyed visiting the nearby restaurants for dinner and evenings on the deck. Everything we wanted to visit was just a quick drive away. We would definitely book here again for future visits.

Taylor Swift Trip
Our group needed a place to stay for the Taylor Swift show in Cincinnati and Covington was the perfect spot! Cute little town with lots of cool diner and coffee shops to check out. Also very close to downtown Cincinnati. Our apartment was clean and very close to multiple restaurants. Grand Welcome did a great job at communicating instructions and made sure we had everything we needed. Will be back to explore more of Covington and Cincinnati in the future.
