A party of three stayed here; all from out of town, and enjoyed our weekend immensely. We actually never even went into Cincinnati; there was enough to see and do in this area. The property is a lovely old home with wonderful architecture and spacious rooms (well, except for the bathrooms, which is to be expected in an older house). We enjoyed relaxing in the living room, making breakfast in the kitchen, and sleeping well in the three bedrooms (plus there was the entire attic that we didn't use). We did opt to park on the street, as the alley parking spot was VERY tight, but the neighborhood was so quiet we had no concerns about doing that. We would definitely stay here again!

Host was easy to communicate with. House was clean and perfect for our trip. Top floor did get a bit warm but fans were provided from the start and that helped a lot. Driveway situation was a bit confusing due to neighboring residents blocking entrance with a bonfire, but that was no fault of our host. Overall great stay.

The property was roomy, nicely decorated and pretty clean. There was quite a bit of debris and cigarette butts in the back yard. The beds are very firm, they are not very comfortable. For a short stay it was a great place. The contact I and with the property management was amazing, timely and very accomadating.

We really liked staying here! We had the AC give up on us the first night and it was fixed quickly and we were kept in the loop which was fantastic. The location is awesome, and the home and neighborhood are adorable. Check in and out were great, and my smalls loved the attic room. Thank you!

A Great Location!

We didn't plan all of our activities in advance & found ourselves near everything we wanted & needed. It's also in a lovely neighborhood with old architecture that is fun to look at. The stairs in this house are quite steep with all bedrooms up 1 & 2 flights of steps. The floors upstairs creak quite loudly, especially at 3am when you're trying to use the restroom quietly. The main floor was great for a large group (we had 7 adults) and had a lovely time visiting with plenty of seats & room to sprawl out.

This was the second time we stayed here. One of our kids booked it the first time and we loved it so much we booked it again. We were in town for a graduation from Xavier. It was an easy 20 minute drive. The house is well maintained, clean, and spacious. The kitchen is wonderful. We will return a third time… and more.

The address is Dayton KY, but it’s walking distance to lots of local shops and 5 minute drive to the aquarium. Nice floor plan. Back yard is super kid friendly. Off street parking. It’s an old house with loads of old house charm and up-to-date amenities. The AC works well. Quiet neighborhood. Comfortable beds and couch.

We had a great time. The property was clean and the location was great. A quick drive to the Great American Ballpark, so easy we decided to catch a second game while we were there. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance. The neighborhood felt very safe. While walking the area there were plenty of friendly people that were happy to point out local places to visit.

Very nice home and location was great. Home was also well stocked with all necessities. Great communication from host! Our only complaint and advisement for anyone who is considering staying here during hot weather is that 2 of the beds and one full bathroom is on the 3rd level of the home and it was very difficult to cool off this level. Depending on your ability to sleep in warm temperatures you may not be able to use that level. Please note when we stayed here it was 90 degrees in Dayton.

Very nice updated Historic home. Very comfortable beds. Temperature alittle difficult to adjust to all rooms. There are 3 floors. I gave the accurate description a 3 star because as a old home the stairs are not to todays code. If stairs are an issue for you....stairs are steep and shallow to all floors. Getting luggage up and down was a bit of a challenge. No mention of stairs in description of property. Parking in front of house is your best option as spots off alley are marked once you locate them off a side driveway, but then bringing luggage,etc; means a longer journey to the front door. Location and neighborhood great and checkin/ check out easy. Mangement super responsive to a few issues we had.

Our group of 9 fit nicely into this house. Be aware that the 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms and only one bathroom. The location of the property was very convenient to all of the local attractions, but it was a bit confusing getting to and from Cincinnati due to the crazy highway traffic patterns. Parking in back was difficult to maneuver, so we kept one car in the front and one car in the parking at the back of the house. There are no bedrooms on the main floor, so be sure everyone in your group can climb stairs. The property was clean, and the neighborhood felt safe. There were plenty of towels and the kitchen met our needs. The TV worked well for movies at night and had lots of options, including Netflix, Disney, YouTube, and Paramount. When we arrived, my young granddaughters exclaimed, "I love this place!" If you are looking for a relatively large house at a reasonable price in the Cincinnati area, and you are able to climb stairs, I highly recommend this location.
