Very nice property in walking distance of great neighborhood restaurants and bars. Despite being close to a busy neighborhood the property was quiet and I had no troubles.
This property was beautiful and cozy for just the two of us! Very clean. Only 1 block from the main strip with awesome food and drinks! 10/10 would recommend!
Very clean and cozy apartment. The entrance is in the back of the building and off the main street. Walking distance to all the bars and restaurants. Great breakfast the next morning right across the street at Cedars.
This cozy apartment is right around the corner from everything. We were able to walk around in the daytime, change, and venture back out for some night life. The unit was clean, basically brand new on the inside, and had a very comfortable bed. We usually stay at a hotel, but this place won us over.
My wife and I had a terrific weekend stay at the property. Very clean and the property was as described and shown in the pictures. The only thing is it was slightly bothersome to sign a separate e-sign agreement with Grand Welcome. However they really are first class in their communication and professionalism. I would recommend staying at one of their properties.
Host was responsive and accommodating. Said there was iron and board. Upon arrivalWasn’t one in it. 20 minutes later is was deliver to property. Great time!
My Sister and I came to our great-nephews wedding in Cincinatti, and decided to stay some extra days to see sights in Cinci as well as the Covington area. This location was great and since we had a parking space right outside our door, it made it convenient to visit the Roebling Murals on the floodwalls, and to easily get on the interstate to drive to the Shaker Village of Pleasantville, which was close to Lexington. We also visited the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption in Covington, which is over 125 yrs old, and has some absolutely beautiful gothic architecture and stained glass windows. We thoroughly enjoyed our short visit to Northern Ky. Thank You!
This company had SO many rules it was ridiculous. Definitely not a local, homey vibe. Very corporate. They cancelled the reservation but didn't tell us. We arrived after a 10 hour drive at 3am and could not get in. It was a very, very disappointing experience.
