Great Property, Convenient Location
We came to stay for a Bengals game. The property was convenient walk to the Cincinnati waterfront and fields, just across the bridge. There were a lot of restaurants in the immediate area to choose from within easy walking distance. The host was very responsive, nearly immediately in all instances.

Reds Game Visit
We brought our two sons in town from Indy for a Reds game to celebrate my husbands birthday. The location is perfect for walking across the bridge to the stadium. It was a great fit for our family of 4 - will definitely consider for future visits!
