The property was beautifully maintained and central to everything we wanted to do! We loved the history of the house and were amazed at the basement setup with the arcade and air hockey table. The owners were extremely quick to respond with questions or clarifications!

The house on 10th street was exceptional. All the guests staying would rate it a 6+ stars (but we can only give it a 5 star). House was very clean and ready when we arrived. Beds were super-comfy after each day of walking and site-seeing. Air conditioning was great in 90 degree day weather. Jeremiah was an outstanding communicator and answered my questions immediately. The instructions to unlock and lock up were easy and fast to work. The closing instructions were well written out. We had a great time staying in Covington and visiting Cincinnati. I'll highly recommend for future stays.

We were so pleased with the mattress! I have had two back surgeries and need a soft mattress and these were perfect. We loved the antique floors and trim. I had to wear earplugs because of the trains being so close but that's the only negative thing. Highly recommend this house.
