Location + Design OTR Gem, plus free parking!

In the heart of OTRs lively historic district. Beautifully renovated 2 story 2 bedroom apartment, located on the 3rd floor. Walking distance to all the best restaurants, bars, shops, sporting events. Ziegler Park and Ziegler Pools can be enjoyed steps away. Plus free parking pass for The Ziegler Garage located directly behind the building. We have 2 other listings in our building. Another 2 bedroom and a smaller 1 bedroom.

There is a king and a queen bedroom, we can accommodate 4 additional twin beds if requested. All linens and towels are included. We also have a fully stocked kitchen. It's truly your home away from home!

Cincinnati streetcar operates up to 18 hours a day and 365 days a year and it’s free. The streetcar route is 3.6 miles long, traveling on a loop from Second Street (at The Banks on the riverfront) to Findlay Market in OTR. We are located 1 & 1/2 blocks from the Streetcar pick up. Uber and Lyft are plentiful in this area and it is often cheaper than a cab, or parking meters. Red Bike Rentals 1 & 1/2 block away. From the airport you can take the TANK bus for $2 and it drops you off at 5th and Main. Apartment is 13th and Main... 9 blocks away. This is a pretty fast and inexpensive alternative.

Funky, fun and cozy!

This is my second time staying at this property - love the vibe, love the location! Great, comfortable, FUN place to stay. Easily could stay multiple nights. The ONLY downside is the community pool next door - it can be quite noisy in the morning/afternoon. Otherwise, I adore this apartment and would definitely stay again!

Fun time!

We had a nice stay in Cincinnati over the 4th of July. Walking distance to Washington Park for fireworks, Findlay Market. We did the underground tour with American legacy and it was great! Ball park about a 20 minute walk. Great restaurants nearby. Maybe it was the holiday, but lots of police presence on and around Main Street. Apartment was clean and cute! Lots of stairs.

Lucky me

What a title! Yeah the reviews gave me hope but this historic building was just what I needed. Great and sometimes lively location. My bedroom has a spectacular view of the pool. Convenient to downtown. Complimentary parking. There are many good locations listed on this website and other short term rental sites. This one was right in every sense especially if you plan a more than one day trip. I’m already booked for a return trip that will be longer than the first one.

Perfect for a weekend in Cincinnati

Property was easy to find and get into; secured parking with pass was great (and close). Property was clean, quiet, perfect size and came with all the amenities. Air conditioning was able to be set to your liking, which is nice, and bed was super comfortable. Host was easy to communicate with and was responsive. Location was right in the heart of OTR and close to everything; we walked to the Reds game and it was a nice walk - flat. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic stay!

We really enjoyed this lovely OTR rental! The location was great, lots of great restaurants, bars and activities to do nearby. Also very clean and well stocked for our stay. There was a good amount of street noise on the weekend especially, but I think any large city would have that, we enjoyed that a white noise machine was included in the bedroom to help the kiddos get to sleep. Overall it was a wonderful trip and I would most definitely stay again!

The Gem of OTR

We had an amazing stay at this eclectic beauty of a home! The owners were great to communicate with, the location was easily accessible and close to great food and brew, and our kids loved Ziegler Park. The steps are narrow leading to the apartment but it reminded us of our European stays. The home has everything you could need plus some! We'd stay again!

Love the OTR!

Property could not have been more comfortable. Denise has thought of everything... toiletries, controls for ceiling fans, M&Ms! Designed thoughtfully, super clean, and very comfortable. Parking in the lot across from Ziegler pool was a breeze, felt safe. The neighborhood has a variety of demographics- one of the reasons we chose to stay there. We were not comfortable out after 9:00 at night, but we feel that way about any city we visit. During the day we felt totally safe and comfortable exploring the neighborhood. We recommend Iris Book Cafe for morning coffee and Bfast- the outdoor garden is magical!
