About this property

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.

Didn’t meet expectations

Unfortunately this property didn’t meet our expectations. While house was large it was shabbily decorated and a bit creepy. You have to walk down a side ally as it sits above a Mexican restaurant. Front porch had screen door which was slashed up. The stairs inside are narrow and steep. We stayed one night and left for a hotel the next day. Owner came across defensive when feedback was given.

Our first Christmas together in 14 years

The property was much bigger than I imagined and in an old part of tiwn that added to it’s appeal we had every thing we needed at the house except a can opener but that was a little inconvenience so we purchased one for the house. This was our first Christmas with our daughter since she graduated from NAU and moved to Kentucky we had a great time and would recommend it

Outing

We failed to get the code from the property mgr prior to arriving, spent an hour trying to track him down. The location is great lots of fun bars and restaurants. Very convenient to downtown Cincy and the Ark and Creation Museum. Some of the towels and washcloths need replacing, could see right through them.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Anthony McIntire

Host profile image
We are from Lexington, Kentucky, but love all that Greater Cincinnati has to offer. We enjoy the Reds, and the Bengals, but also the arts. Cincinnati has a great ballet, a well regarded symphony orchestra, and the second oldest Opera company in the United States.

Why they chose this property

We feel in love with Mainestrasse Village in Covington, the first time we sat foot there. The are few neighborhoods of this vintage in America so well preserved and intact. There's always something to do in the Village, and downtown Covington is happening as well. You can hop on the trolley and go to downtown Cincinnati or Newport without having to drive or park.

What makes this property unique

For starters it''s really large compared to other vacation rentals that sleep 6. If you close the door to the front parlor, you have 3 full bedrooms and 3 full baths. You can enjoy the charm and ambiance of an historic old home in an historic area, without sacrificing modern amenities like updated plumbing, updated fully functional kitchen, and central heat and air. Located in Mainstrasse Village, Covington, an area known for food, drink, and fun, as well as proximity to downtown Cincinnati and all the arts, museums, sports, and more . . . just ask yourself, why not have it all. If the weather is nice you can enjoy the balcony overlooking Gobbels Park, listen to the bell tower, and survey the beautiful beautiful boulevard that is 6th Street.
