We had a great time staying here. We were in town for a wedding and it was excellent having 5 beds that were queen sized or larger. The property is an older home that has been renovated, and is walking distance from the Dayton, KY downtown 6th Avenue area. We walked to breakfast every morning and also were able to walk to the great New Riff Distillery.

The address is Dayton KY, but it’s walking distance to lots of local shops and 5 minute drive to the aquarium. Nice floor plan. Back yard is super kid friendly. Off street parking. It’s an old house with loads of old house charm and up-to-date amenities. The AC works well. Quiet neighborhood. Comfortable beds and couch.

We had a great time. The property was clean and the location was great. A quick drive to the Great American Ballpark, so easy we decided to catch a second game while we were there. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance. The neighborhood felt very safe. While walking the area there were plenty of friendly people that were happy to point out local places to visit.

A party of three stayed here; all from out of town, and enjoyed our weekend immensely. We actually never even went into Cincinnati; there was enough to see and do in this area. The property is a lovely old home with wonderful architecture and spacious rooms (well, except for the bathrooms, which is to be expected in an older house). We enjoyed relaxing in the living room, making breakfast in the kitchen, and sleeping well in the three bedrooms (plus there was the entire attic that we didn't use). We did opt to park on the street, as the alley parking spot was VERY tight, but the neighborhood was so quiet we had no concerns about doing that. We would definitely stay here again!

Host was easy to communicate with. House was clean and perfect for our trip. Top floor did get a bit warm but fans were provided from the start and that helped a lot. Driveway situation was a bit confusing due to neighboring residents blocking entrance with a bonfire, but that was no fault of our host. Overall great stay.

The property was roomy, nicely decorated and pretty clean. There was quite a bit of debris and cigarette butts in the back yard. The beds are very firm, they are not very comfortable. For a short stay it was a great place. The contact I and with the property management was amazing, timely and very accomadating.

Very nice home and location was great. Home was also well stocked with all necessities. Great communication from host! Our only complaint and advisement for anyone who is considering staying here during hot weather is that 2 of the beds and one full bathroom is on the 3rd level of the home and it was very difficult to cool off this level. Depending on your ability to sleep in warm temperatures you may not be able to use that level. Please note when we stayed here it was 90 degrees in Dayton.
