Great spot. However owners did not pay the water bill and at one point I went over two days with no water. The team communicating with me pretended to be helpful but they aren't actually boots on the ground, they can't do anything. Would rent again tho because the property and location are so great. Adorable home, well decorated. Needs better lighting in the bedroom.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2023
Good things: very clean, spacious for two people, very nice shower and spotless kitchen with all new appliances and kitchen things, plenty of towels. Bright kitchen and living area nicely decorated. Very convenient washer and dryer and a great tv with Roku. Not so great: the bed was not a queen, but a full size. I would not have booked this place if I’d known that the bed was so small, that should be corrected on the listing. The bedroom is big enough to accommodate a bigger bed. Also there is only one entrance/exit, the front door does not open, if we had had an emergency we would have had to go out a bedroom window probably, but I didn’t check to see if it was possible to open one. Generally the furniture was not super comfortable, but we are big people so maybe smaller folks would be ok with it. There are no bedside lamps, and very few places to hang up towels or clothes. There is no curtain on the entry door and the bathroom is exactly in line with that window, with the neighbors window just opposite, it really needs a curtain or shade. Street parking was a little dicey, mostly nice neighbors except one dude who vigorously shook his head at us when we made a minor, temporary parking faux pas. With a few adjustments it would be a good place to stay, convenient to Cincinnati, little bit noisy neighborhood, but we didn’t feel unsafe.
