Walk to Bengals and Reds and downtown Cincy. Easy Drive to Ark, walk to eat.

Spacious 1800 sg. ft. and Newly restored 1870s townhome in the heart of historic Mainstrasse Village, walking distance to area restaurants and downtown Cincinnati. Enjoy all the charm of the Village, the Goose Girl fountain a block away, and Goebel Park a few steps away. Plus all that downtown Cincinnati have to offer! Just off the interstate, and very close to the Wade Bailey Bridge (US 25), which offers a super easy route into downtown Cincy. This is a building built in the 1870s with lots of charm, but also lots of stairs, some of them a bit steep; it may not be a good fit for anyone with mobility issues. There is a restaurant on the first floor of the building with great food.

Reds Outing
This was a great locqtion for our visit. We came in for a Reds game and stayed for two nights. Between the trolley that runs just behind thebbuilding qnd the easy walking access across the Boeling Bridge, we didn't have to drive once. The unit was very nice and well malntained. As the listing says the stairs are somewhat steep but the short flights leading to the main floor are short. The upper floor bedrooms are quite large and the bathrooms are great. We would definitely stay again.

Fabulous everything!
This place was fantastic! Great location and there are plenty of restaurants and stores to walk to. There is a park for kids just across the street. It is on top of a Mexican restaurant and has an ice cream shop just next door. You park in the back or on the street in front and the door is to the side if the Mexican restaurant and is completely safe. There are stairs to get to the apartment and stairs inside to upstairs bedrooms that are a little steep so if you can’t do stairs for a long period of time you could sleep in the downstairs bedroom. It’s old and beautiful, remember to keep all doors closed at all times and you will have no issues with rooms staying cool. We absolutely loved it and if ever in the area again will definitely stay here again!

What a great place!!
We really enjoyed our stay in Covington. The apartment was very comfortable and clean. As others noted, there are stairs in the entry and to the upper bedrooms, but nothing we didn’t expect. It’s an old, but very cool and charming, older building. The Mainstrasse Village is very walkable with lots of restaurants nearby. We walked to and from a Reds game. It’s not far and it’s really cool walking across the Roebling Suspension Bridge (replica of the Brooklyn Bridge). You get a really nice view of the stadium, especially at night. We spent a day at the zoo as well. One of the prettiest, shady zoos I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend this great place if you’re visiting in the Cincinnati area.

older VRB0, too many stairs
We had a little trouble finding the entrance to the building; there was no number on the door. We encountered stairs leading to the entry door and stairs leading to the apartment. The apartment had a musty, mildew smell. The living room light did not work. To find the second bedroom, we had to go up more stairs; the third bedroom was more stairs. The house looked clean. It was convenient to shops and restaurants. It was just not what we expected.

Perfect location
The location was in a perfect spot and it was easy to get in and out of the neighborhood to go to all the places that we wanted to visit. The beds, pillows, and couches were very comfortable. We only had one significant complaint - it was unbearably hot upstairs. We couldn't get the thermostat downstairs under 80 degrees, and upstairs felt even hotter. I see comments from other reviews that we should understand "historic home" to mean that the temperature cannot really be controlled, which is something I would not have assumed. We found a Walmart open late and bought a fan and left it there for the next visitors and it made upstairs a little more bearable, but still very uncomfortable. Late May felt brutally hot so I can't imagine what it is like in August heat or February cold. We are all youngish and can climb stairs easily, but don't stay here if steep, short stairs are a problem for you. Also, the shower door on the downstairs shower is exceptionally narrow and it wouldn't be usable for a larger person. None of us could figure out how to use the shower in the second bathroom, so we all just used the third one because it was the roomiest. The Keurig was replaced with a standard drip coffee pot so we had to go buy coffee grounds since we couldn't use the k cups we brought, so if you're a coffee drinker bring ground coffee instead. I'm not really complaining, just sharing information I wish I had known ahead of time so you can make sure this place will work for you.

Location is outstanding.
Old home that has updates so if you're looking for the Waldorf you should knkw better. But this is charming, clean, as described and the location is fantastic! Convenient to everything, so many things within walking distance right in the neighborhood, including walking down to the riverfront activities. Gettting in and out of Cincinnati is breeze. The only cautionary issue, which we were not affected by at all, might be the older staircases. A little steeper than modern day practices so some with mobility issues may not appreciate the effort needed. But again, its an old building and if you read some of the reviews you should be well informed so thats on you. We had six adults and had planty of room. The balcony/deck was perfect for gathering and chilling. A fantastic stay and experience. Would highly recommend.

Property is hard to find. It is above the Mexican restaurant on Sixth Street. If stairs are not your thing you may want to stay elsewhere. The table in the living room is really cool but a little wobbly. Location is great. I'd stay here again.

Nice house
The inside of the unit was very nice. It’s an old duplex above a Mexican restaurant. The woodwork, wood flooring, and fireplaces were charming. There are a lot of restaurants and bars within walking distance. The area had a nice old-time theme to it. A little more information on the actual bedroom/bed count would have been helpful. There were 2 bedrooms and the “3rd bedroom” was the living room with a futon. The beds were comfortable but the pillows were not. Having an extra set of sheets, pillows, and a comforter would have made the stay more comfortable.

Great location with lots of space
We stayed here for a short vacation to meet with family. The location was perfect with many places to eat nearby and free parking. It was easy to find thanks to very detailed directions from the host. Inside was lots of space to spread out and three bathrooms which was nice. Be aware that the third "bedroom" is actually in what is labeled as "living area" in the photos. There is a pull-out couch in that room (which due to the angle of the photos isn't visible). My teenage son slept there and was fine but it wasn't what we expected. I recommend more curtains on the windows in the larger upstairs bedroom and in the "bedroom" with the pull out couch. It got very bright in the mornings. There was an issue with the cleaners upon checkin due to what the host described as an issue with VRBO's system showing the schedule incorrectly. We called and it was resolved as quickly as it could be, but we did have to wait 45 minutes to use the property while it was being cleaned. I requested a refund of the cleaning fee and the owner got upset with me over text calling me things I can't type here. I understood it was not his fault but a more customer-service oriented host would have been more flexible about this. I was told the host would pursue getting VRBO to refund the cleaning fee (since the issue was apparently due to VRBO's systems) but I never heard back from the host about whether they contacted VRBO or about the status of any refund.

Comfortable stay with family of 5
Stayed with five people. Two queen beds were shared. The futon in the third bedroom/living room was comfortable. Read all the directions and information that the hosts put together. There are lots of useful suggestions and tips. Kitchen was fine and we were working remotely part of the time and that was fine, too. Internet struggled a bit but we were pushing it pretty hard. Nice to have three bathrooms. Found some fun places to eat in the nearby area. Would stay here again.
