This spacious urban dwelling is steeped in history, as is our charming and entirely f-l-a-t + walkable neighborhood. The home dates to the 1860s when it was likely built to house craftsmen involved in the building of the architecturally significant Roebling Suspension Bridge, the prototype for The Brooklyn Bridge. It is thought that John Roebling himself might have designed this property.

In 2007: top-to-bottom, wall-to-wall renovations resulted in '2008 River Cities Preservation' and '2008 Friends of Covington Beautification' awards. A three story 'flying' staircase, scale, contemporary upgrades and location yield both character and comfort. Here, history and modernity are not to be confused with rigidity: put your feet up and bring your dog! There's a decidedly down-home feel with an up-town vibe.

Truly a handsome and affordably priced alternative for Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky business travellers -- or -- for regionally-inclined tourists and vacationing families. Ideally suited for small-scale meetings and entertaining, too.

Bounded to the north by the Ohio River, Cincinnati is a quick two blocks and a bridge (yes: that one!) away, as are Great American Ball Park, Paul Brown Stadium, US Bank Arena -- and -- Queen City culture, entertainment, retail and cuisine. Fine and home-style dining, indie coffee houses (2 + a Starbucks), shopping and multiple entertainment options are also available just outside the door. Lexington and Louisville are each roughly (and Bluegrass scenic) 90 minutes away.

While most everything is within walking distance, two dedicated, off-street parking spaces are provided. As well, a Red Bike station -- and -- a retro-fitted trolley* stop (*that traverses Covington and Newport KY, and Cincinnati) are a block away. For full immersion in Kentucky's fabled horsiness, a livery across the street operates horse-drawn carriages most weekends and some week nights, using much the same routes.

Or, stay home and make good use of the roof deck with its panoramic views of the Cincinnati skyline and surrounding hillsides, the sunset-spilled den, and/or the jetted tub.

    The location of this property can't be beat. We walked to and from Cincinnati multiple times, plus the Mainstrasse area of Covington offers multiple restaurants and bars. The house itself was perfect for our group of six.

    We were really excited about this stay based on the listing, but unfortunately it did not matchexpectations in several important ways.The overall condition of the property was significantly below what we anticipated from thephotos. It appeared worn and in need of a deep clean, and several areas felt neglected or notwell maintained.One of the biggest disappointments was the rooftop deck, which is highlighted in the listingtitle. We were unable to use it, and this wasn’t communicated ahead of time. That was amajor factor in choosing this property, so it was frustrating to discover upon arrival.We also had concerns about cleanliness and general upkeep that made our stayuncomfortable. For example, there was a layer of black dust/dirt on all baseboards and mostsurfaces. Ultimately, we chose to leave early and stay elsewhere.We did reach out after the stay, but were told that because we didn’t report everything duringthe stay, no resolution could be offered. While we understand policies, it was stilldisappointing given the circumstances.I would recommend future guests confirm the current condition of the property and any keyamenities before booking.

    Lisa was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was extremely thoughtful about stocking the condo and she also provided numerous board games which we took advantage of. The only “issue” that we had was that there was no television on the bottom/main floor and that the den on the top floor was a little bare. All in all we enjoyed our time there.

    The property was conveniently located near the Roebling Bridge that allowed us to walk to the baseball stadium and other downtown buildings. The number of restaurants and bars nearby was wonderful. Lisa was a nice host greeting us upon arrival and being available if needed. The kitchen and dining area were very good. My daughter was able to bring her dog too.

The owner was so accommodating with all requests and information. There was ice cream, bagels, coffee and so much more on arrival. I highly recommend staying here.

    Recently celebrated a family member’s 60th birthday party in Lisa’s home, and it was perfect! Walkable to everything, and big enough for six people. Communication was 5/5 and Lisa was sweet enough to leave us celebratory ice cream and coffee. Cleanly. Would definitely recommend! Only 4.5/5 were the beds; just a tad tinier than expected, but we were able to make them work! Still would recommend this home :)

    Had booked the stay for 2 nights but ended up leaving after 1 night due to the property’s conditions. Want to provide an accurate detail of the location and our trip as listing/reviews didn’t depict our experience so don’t want other to run into the same issue. I will say communication and location were both great for the location. The manager spoke to me days before our arrival to discuss our plans and give us a heads up about some issues at the property. She met us there at our arrival and was kind enough to leave some treats in the freezer for the family and specific items for our breakfast. We were able to walk the area with our dogs and was a short enough walk to the ballpark with our children to watch the Reds play. The listing of the property and previous reviews were why we chose this location but not entirely accurate in our views. The house needs a very deep cleaning across the board as it felt like there was a cover of dirt or grime everywhere. The carpets are old and worn out, felt gross when walking up and down the stairs on them. There was a hole in one of the wooden floorboards. The kitchen had food splattered on the wall by the sink, dust and dirt seemed to be in every corner of the house. The top bedroom had receipts left on the chair so obviously wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. The bedrooms are located on the 2nd and 3rd floor which all were very warm overnight with no A/C, but the main floor was ok. It made it very difficult and uncomfortable to s
