Great place in a convenient part of Cincinnati. We were there for a weekend and we had 5 of us sleeping comfortably. The noise machines in the rooms did well to drown out a bit of typical city noise. A couple other notes for future travelers: 1) this unit is up 3-4 flights of stairs with no elevator, and the unit itself has two additional staircases in it. Totally fine for our group, but anyone with mobility issues should know this!2) the FREE Cincinnati trolley system is less than a block away, and this was a HUGE help getting around3) the rooftop is private

Fantastic penthouse in the heart of it all. The property was wonderful. Things to know: The stairs are going to make a healthy person breathe hard. Fourth floor, no elevator. We thought the views were worth the hike. Also, the street noise on Friday and Saturday nights in summer on Main Street was incredibly loud. If you are into seeing and being seen and watching loud cars and motorcycles drive by bars and clubs, it's a vibrant night out. If you want to sleep at 11pm when everyone is partying then pick a different location. Overall, we loved this apartment and its amenities. We walked everywhere because of its central location. Waterfront, civic center and OTR breweries were all within reach. Favorite feature: rooftop!!I also appreciate the easy checkout. We were not asked to clean, scour, and launder everything prior to leaving, like many other rentals require. It gave us more time together on our last day. Thank you, excellent hosts!

Amazing rental. First place I’ve stayed at where the property looks bigger in person when compared to the photos. Slept 12 comfortably if people are okay with sharing beds and sleeping on the couch. Nothing beats the location.

Great communication with host Dan! Very comfortable beds and penthouse view. Really would have loved an elevator for our senior friend as stairs are very hard for her. Other than that it was a wonderful experience and place to stay!

The Penthouse

We really enjoyed our stay at The Penthouse. It was comfortable and clean. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars overall is because it’s on the 4th floor with no elevator. Fortunately the young teens could carry up all of our bags! We all loved the evenings on the Penthouse Rooftop. Being one block off of Main Street, we felt safe.

Reunion of Army Buddies

Place was great! Location was great! Our entire crew from back in the day met up and had a great time. Actually the first night we didnt even go out. Instead, we got carryout from Gomez Salsa and drinks from Kroger and enjoyed the rooftop and game room. Couldnt have asked for a better stay. Thank you again for your hospitality!

Wonderful 2 story apartment with great game room! Perfect for a big group or family. FYI, It is on 4th floor (no elevator) but stairs are inside, clean and safe. Great location in OTR around the corner from Kroger and coffee emporium and few blocks from sugar n spice diner and good fellows pizza! We went on a weekend so some active street noise we could hear from master bedroom but upstairs bedrooms say they didn’t hear anything. I would highly recommend the Penthouse! Very clean! So much room with great common spaces and great communication with owner! Thank you for letting us stay!
