❖──────❖ Things to Know Before Booking

▪︎ Our home is located in a genuine city neighborhood—diverse, eclectic, and full of everyday life. It’s part of what makes staying here feel so authentic and connected to the community.

▪︎ Our home is conveniently located right next to a gas station and market—perfect for late-night snacks, drinks, or a quick fuel-up. Like any busy spot in the city, you may occasionally hear music, trucks, or deliveries, but most guests find the tradeoff well worth the convenience.

▪︎ Alexa can play soothing sleep sounds or soft music to help you drift off, even with the lively city just outside.

▪︎ Our spaces are in two-family homes, so neighbors may be just on the other side of a wall or window. Please respect quiet hours after 11 PM, keep outdoor gatherings low-key, and use shared spaces with courtesy. A little consideration goes a long way to making everyone’s stay enjoyable.

▪︎ No unregistered guests or visitors are allowed on the property at any time, even if they are not staying overnight. For safety, licensing, and policy compliance, everyone must be included in the reservation. Failure to register the correct number of guests will result in the entire group being asked to leave without refund. Maximum occupancy is 6 guests.

What an exciting place with all kinds of unique items to check out. When we arrived we had a scavenger hunt for the army men that kept my grandson busy while we unpacked. All supplies were there and extra for us. We were close to Aquarium and concert venue. We had our two dogs and enjoyed the fenced in back yard and alley. The unit was very clean and did well for our family! Thank you!!

Had a few friends from out of town come to visit for a birthday brewery hop and landed on this property. This home was charming, full of character, and very well kept. The proximity to downtown Cincinnati was super convenient and the stay was priced much better than anything in Cincinnati proper.

About the host

Hosted by Vicky or Doug

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 from the Greater Cincinnati Area! Doug is an amazing film-maker, composer and sound guy; Vicky was a top podcaster on iTunes and blogger for 10 yrs focusing on "What Really Matters"; Aidan is our charming, handsome guy - a head pastry chef, supreme foodie, tech-geek, dog whisperer and all-around good human being loved by all; and Ellie is our adorable little princess - nick-named "Friday" for believing every day can be Friday when you're doing what you love. She loves music, her friends, art, pets and school. And then there is Granny (a.k.a. Linda) who is #5 to our Airbnb Venture. Granny is retired and loves to help at the Airbnbs when she can. It's her FREE Thornton gym membership. She loves meeting guests and takes as much pride in hosting our homes as the rest of us.

We all LOVE food, movies, travel, people, and the city we live in! We have been landlords for over 25 years and our first rental (House of Liebe - love in German) was the first home we bought together in Covington. The other half of this historic two-family is our other rental (The Tres House - tres for three floors and our third Airbnb). It has been so much fun and successful we opened up two others, just a street over (The Slanted House and Always Friday - of course named after Ellie). And yes, The Slanted House does lean a little to the west if you are looking at it from across the street. So yes - we love hosting and always beautify-ing (a.k.a. cleaning) our homes to share with others.

Why they chose this property

Mutter Gottes Kirche, or Mother of God Church, was founded by German immigrants to Covington in 1841. The surrounding neighborhoods of treelined streets and brick town homes is named for this beautiful landmark. Mutter Gottes neighborhood was one of the first residential expansions of Covington, and most structures there were built between 1860 and 1890. The area bound by Fourth Street on the north, Pike street on the south, the CSX railway to the west, and Madison Avenue to the east is listed as a National Registered Historic District. Noteworthy historic structures include the fire station on Sixth Street and the Albert B. Koett house on Russell Street. A garden at the intersection of Sixth and Craig contains the Neighborhood Mosaic sign.

What makes this property unique

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Diverse. Historic. Charming. Many of our neighbors have lived on our street for decades. View of beautiful downtown Cincinnati from the bedroom windows and courtyard. Conveniently located next to Dep Liquor Store, Covington Tobacco, Shell Gas Station, and Circle K store for those late night chocolate (or other) cravings!
