Spacious, meticulously clean, fresh, and well stocked. Beautifully styled and comfortable too. Matt was incredibly helpful, responsive, and friendly. We were so happy to have found this darling and unique retreat away from campus during a recent college visit. Bonus points for chickens on site and pet friendly vibes!!

Great stay! The Carriage House Loft was perfect for us. Plenty of room, easy in / out and made it convenient to take care of our dog who was along on the trip. The grounds are beautiful and neighborhood very nice. Good for walks.

The apartment is an open floor plan with plenty of space and a fully supplied kitchen. Every area is well lit, including the bathroom. The bed is quite comfortable with additional pillows and blankets in the dresser. The decor is a mix of contemporary, rustic and eclectic. Check in was no problem and there are no check out responsibilities other than returning the key to the box on the outside door! It is very close to Xavier University. The hosts are very communicative. I have no reservations in recommending this VRBO.

Cool Stay in Cincinnati

We loved the carriage house near Xavier University. We had plenty of space plus the bed and bath were both amply stocked. What we loved most was the location as we were headed downtown one night and Riverbend the next. Typical neighborhood near a university. Older homes of all kinds dot the area.
