About this property

Heart of Mainstrasse 1

Summary:
Welcome to Heart of Mainstrasse Apt. 1, a historic home in the heart of Covington with Downtown Cincinnati just across the Ohio River.

The Space:
You won’t find a more authentic stay for your urban getaway than this refurbished building just around the corner from Covington’s Main Street lined with neighborhood pubs, cafes, and restaurants. As you stroll down Main Street and through nearby George Steinford and Goebel Parks, the beautiful Cincinnati skyline fills the horizon.

Inside the home, floor to ceiling windows illuminate the open concept living area which is furnished and decorated in modern greys and a signature shade of blue. A large sectional couch defines the living area which also has a large smart tv, coffee table, and accent chair. Adjacent is the modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, spacious countertops, and eye-catching blue cabinetry. 2 barstools are arranged at the kitchen counter for casual dining, and for more formal meals, the dining table with seating for 2 awaits.

This home sleeps up to 4 guests between 1 private bedroom with queen size bed and a queen size sleeper sofa. The home’s shared bathroom has a walk-in shower, as well as the home’s signature blue cabinetry and updated fixtures.

THINGS TO NOTE:
Washer and dryer in unit.
This is a ground level unit.
Parking available for one vehicle in the parking lot is provided.

Just across the Ohio River from the Bengals Stadium, Riverfront Park, and Great American Ballpark, Heart of Mainstrasse is within easy reach of some of Cincinnati’s most popular attractions. Beyond this area, there’s still so much more to explore. From Cincinnati’s street art revolution which has transformed neighborhoods with 180+ public murals, to its serious beer culture, revitalized historic neighborhoods with trendy shopping and dining like Over-the-Rhine, and authentic Art Deco architecture and design, this culturally diverse city is a can’t-miss destination.

Back on the Kentucky side of the river, you’re in prime Bourbon Trail territory. Check out distilleries and sipping points where you can sample Northern Kentucky’s bourbon, often paired with traditional southern foods. No matter what you decide to explore, one thing is for certain. The Cincinnati metropolitan area has no shortage of experiences to try during your stay at Heart of Mainstrasse.

The location was great and the amenities were great. We were comfortable staying here. The only things that kept me from giving it a five-star rating were, the shower could have been cleaned a little better, the front door lock was quirky and didn't always work the first try, and the blinds didn't shut completely, leaving gaps and compromising our privacy. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much.

My wife and I stayed here over a weekend while visiting with family. It was super clean, super cozy, and the location was perfect. Very close to all the fun bars and restaurants on Main St. If you want to be close to the action it’s perfect and we will definitely be back. Already recommended this place to several other people.

Great little getaway

We enjoyed our time at this location and would definitely stay again. It is nestled in a little town with restaurants so we could walk to dinner. There was a lot of people walking in front of the building throughout the evenings because of all the bars/restaurants but it wasn’t an issue for us.
