♥♥ #1-Ranked Parkside Condo w/ Large Private Patio

Ranked the #1 AirBnB in its category of about 360 in the area, our beautiful, newly-renovated Over-the-Rhine building is from 1880. The top of a 2-story property, it's perfect for a great weekend or being your home away from home in the Queen City, including one of the largest private balconies in all of downtown!

Just a half block from Music Hall, Washington Park and a Streetcar stop, our place is perfect for making the most out of your time in OTR but is also on a calm residential street.

We think you'll find that the reviews left by our awesome guests tell you what to expect when you stay at our place. We're pretty thrilled at how much people have loved our condo, our location, and the experience we try to help them have. We provide a really great custom guide to the neighborhood that works on your phone and, of course, I am always available for advice on where to go and what to do while you're here.

You'll find the kitchen is perfect as a launching point for your night and for making everyone coffee and eggs in the morning while you relax at the breakfast bar. The private balcony is large and beautifully furnished with plants and plenty of seating. (*Please Note: the granite mosaic firepit on the patio doesn't have a gas line anymore, so it may just be a be a cool table during your visit, but we still love having a bottle of wine out there with the lighting down our insurance company made us remove the gas line when we registered the condo as an AirBnB, so we've put up lights across the patio, which have turned out really nicely).

We tried to strike a perfect balance between the original character of the property and designing in features to make the home really enjoyable day-to-day. As a result, you'll find features like historically-accurate bedroom sizes (small, but very functional with 1 Queen Bed and 1 Full), exposed brick walls, lovely hardwood floors, granite and marble counter tops, a gaming table, small desk, high vaulted ceilings throughout, a nicely equipped kitchen, 2-basin bathroom vanity, tons of natural light, full-length mirrors to for getting ready to go out and one of the nicest, largest private patios in all of Downtown/OTR.

Parking is free for 2 vehicles in the garage and will save you from having to scrape off your windshield in the winter time and having to deal with a scorching hot car in the middle of summer.

Also, there are 4 entry steps and a 1-story staircase inside, so please keep that in mind if you have mobility needs.

PETS:
We're nuts for pets, but had an incident with a guest's pet at our old place and it cost us a fortune. So, sadly, we have decided to not allow pets any longer even though most owners and their pets are awesome; I hope you understand.

STUFF TO DO:
Where to start? The list is endless around here so we'll send you an interactive map that shows you great places with lots of notes and recommendations when you book our place. It's also a nice thing to have as you go around downtown and want to find a good glass of wine before a great dinner followed by needing to meet friends at one of our urban breweries. Here are some of the highlights in a list we'll update as new things open:

• Music Hall (Symphony, Orchestra, Ballet, Concerts, Balls, etc)
• Washington Park is a great place to hang out, go to all the events, have drinks at the outdoor bar, etc
• The list of restaurants and bars within walking distance is huge, we'll help you navigate the madness depending on what you're looking for
• Breweries/Distilleries/Wine Producers: Rhinegiest, Taft's, Christian Moerlein, Three Points, Sam Adams, Northern Row, Skeleton Root, Northside, and Revel are all walkable and most are 1-4 blocks away.
• Fitness: Again, we'll help you find what you want most. Whether you're searching for sports, swimming, lifting, zumba, steamy downward dogs, WOD's or burpees until you die, we've got you covered
• Theaters with all kinds of programming are nearby
• Findlay Market is one of the City's very best treasures, especially on the weekend and best of all it's only 3 blocks away!

Mi Casa, Su Casa! We want you to have a great time, so use our place, use our stuff, and then come back and do it again. Just pick up after yourself and don't have any raging parties because our neighbors are amazing and we want them to stay that way!

Booking Guest must be at least 25. Smoking is only allowed in the patio outside. Thanks.

You'll have my phone number so let me know if I can help you answer a question or find a cool place. If the coffee maker isn't working for some reason or you can't find a spatula, I can help you with that, too.

Over-the-Rhine is a gorgeous collection of Italianate architecture that was built in the later half of the 1800's. It's been going through a major renaissance that started around 2006 and has grown in strength and quality ever since. OTR is the most popular social neighborhood in Cincinnati, so some areas are louder than others at night. Fortunately, our place is in the beginning of one of the residential pockets so you get the proximity and walkability to everything without the raucous bar crowd and impossible parking.

A link with a detailed map will be sent to all guests to help you plan your trip. We thought this would be an improvement over a welcome book because this serves as a nice guide to refer to when you're out and about and is updated often. If the map gives your as many questions as it does answers, just shoot me a note or give me a call and I'll point you in the right direction.

We're half a block from the closest Streetcar stop and the closest Red Bike (bike-sharing company) exchange station. If the weather's nice, you can get anywhere downtown on a bike or scooter, and when you walk you'll get as far as your feet can take you because it's very flat here in the basin. Ride-sharing vehicles and scooters are readily available down here at all hours, so you shouldn't have to wait for a car or a Bird/Lime scooter.

Parking is available on the surrounding streets but can still get tight during events at Music Hall so a map link will be sent out to guests who reserve our place showing where some free off-street parking is located across the street from our place.
