The real way to stay in Cincinnati
The apartment had such a welcoming and "homey" feeling to it with a nice location! It is right along the riverside and right outside is the purple people bridge which is a nice walk to Newport. The apartment felt like I've always lived here. The beds was neatly set and was comfortable. I don't remember when the last time I had such a nice sleep! Bathrooms was cleaned with no strands of hair to be seen which is very important to me. I love how I get multiple sets of towels as well just in case. The apartment also comes with a washer and dryer so I'm definitely coming back here for a longer period of time!

Hidden gem!
It’s like, I almost don’t want to review the place because I don’t want anyone else to find out about it.. but, this spot deserves the feedback!The owner was quick to get back to me with some of my questions and was really cool.The price was great. The place was extremely clean. The owner also has the place stocked with pretty much whatever you could need.I think it would be even more enjoyable when the pool is open. Just wasn’t quite the season yet, but it looks like a good time.Proximity to the ball park, restaurants/bars, a park.. just can’t be beat.Really enjoyed this stay and I’m sure we’ll stay again!

My best friend and I were in Cinci for the Jazz Fest. We were a little bit confused getting into the place because the address took us to a door that was not the one near a lockbox, but once we figured it out (just around the other side of the building) it was straightforward for the rest of the trip. Once we were actually in the apartment, we loved it completely. It was cute, clean, and so comfortable. The area was also really nice, with lots within walking distance including an awesome park for kids and even for adults to have fun playing at! Check out is at 10am just a heads up, we were accidentally thinking 11 which was what we are used to. Luckily and kindly Chris allowed us a late check-out so we could make sure to have the place the way we found it and trash out etc. Would stay again if needing a place in the same area.

Wonderful place to spend a special week!
This home is very spacious and met all our needs to make our 80 yr old mother comfortable for a week that we were in town for our son’s wedding. The bedrooms were very large and the home had all the kitchen, bath and outdoor activities to make for a great week! We would recommend this place for a large group of friends, family or an event in town! The host was amazing to work with and accommodated us in a time of need! Thank you!!

We spent 3 months here during the final stages of our nearby home renovation, and the entire stay was very comfortable and convenient. Most important to us was a fenced in yard for our dog, and this was perfect. There are 2 large dogs in the adjacent yard, but they were very friendly and quiet, and our girl will miss seeing them. The home is exactly as described, and the walkability to the square’s restaurants and bars makes for nice close by entertainment options. Very responsive hosts were friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommended!

Me and my partner stayed at this Airbnb for three months during the summer and we could not have chosen a better place! Danny and Megan were very responsive and always willing to help. The neighborhood is nice with beautiful homes and always something to do. Safety was our top priority and it was met! We never felt scared or worried about the area and everyone we encountered was always nice. The apartment itself was exactly what was shown in the pictures and very nice. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who is visiting Cincinnati and we will always be looking out for Danny and Megan's spaces whenever we are in the area!
