Zango: Explore OTR/Downtown from a Renovated Condo

As long as you recognize you are in an urban neighborhood and are okay with everything that comes along with it, it’s a Positive: The condo was adorable! A lovely space, comfortable with everything you need. They had a load of Starbucks coffee, extra toilet paper, lots of trash bags, a huge laundry room/closet with full size washer and dryer,all the necessities for basic cooking. Perfect location for UC, and all the sports Cincy has to offer. It’s very close to the soccer stadium and a little over a mile to Nippert Field. It is steps from Reingiest Brewery, Findlay Market and tons of shops and restaurants. The decorating is clean and modern with exposed brick. The rooftop terrace was nice as well. The building was secure and I felt very safe in the condo, as I was traveling alone. There was a fan in the bedroom in addition to the ceiling fan which I LOVED! And a sound machine in the pantry if needed☺️ Negative: The lack of parking and the club directly across the street. I parked in the suggested garage which was $40 not $20 and had to walk a couple blocks with my suitcase. Not a problem for me but could be for someone else. It was VERY loud until 3:30 am. Lots of yelling and loud music. I personally didn’t mind because I wore noise cancelling AirPods but I could still hear yelling. Some new insulated windows may help quite a bit with the noise. The code to the main door was on the combination lockbox, so anyone with half a brain could get in. You may want to remove the lockbox unless it’s necessary. And maybe have the main door lock automatically without having to push a button-if that’s even possible. I still felt safe regardless. Also, there were no towels out. I found them in the dryer though. A few more towels would be nice and a sturdier bed frame.

We had an incredible stay! The space was spotless, super welcoming, and looked exactly like the photos—the layout was thoughtful and set up so well. You couldn't ask for a better location: the streetcar is right outside the front door, catching an Uber was seamless, and everyone in the city was remarkably friendly. It happens to be right across from a club, but we had zero issues with noise, sleeping, or coming and going at any point. Our absolute highlight was spending time on the rooftop patio! To top it off, the hosts were wonderfully friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our entire visit. We loved our trip and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Awesome place in and excellent location! They nailed all the details.
