Historic Gem Russell Suite 2

Summary:
Nestled in the charming city of Covington, this attractive rental invites you to experience the perfect blend of modern comfort and historic charm.

The Space:
From stylish interiors to a prime location that puts you within reach of not only Covington's treasures but also the big city allure of downtown Cincinnati, you won’t find a more authentic stay than this! It’s not often that you have the option to leave the car behind, but as you’ll be located in the heart of the city, you’ll be within walking distance to streets lined with local pubs, cafes, shops, and restaurants. As you stroll down Main Street and through the nearby George Steinford, Goebel, and Devou Parks, the beautiful Cincinnati skyline fills the horizon, beckoning you to come see what more this expansive city has to offer. A quick trip in the car will take you over the Ohio River and into the city, where you can snag tickets to a Bengals or Reds game, explore museums and art museums, or find even more eclectic options for dining and shopping.

Stepping inside the home, the bright and open interior is a welcome sight for those seeking rest and relaxation after long days exploring. The living room is an idyllic cozy space for catching up on a good book or streaming your favorite movie on the smart TV. The stylish kitchen is well-equipped to handle any of your mealtime aspirations, stocked with cookware and dining ware. Enjoy meals gathered together at the dining room table with seating for 4 or hop up to the counter for more casual bites or to assist in prep and planning.

This home comfortably sleeps 2 guests in a private bedroom including a spacious king size bed fitted with fresh linens and soft blankets for a great night’s sleep. The home’s full guest bathroom includes a modern single vanity and shower/tub combo.

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 Bourbon Trail territory.

Staycation

This was a perfect spot for us, coming from Cincinnati, we had a short drive but just enough to get away from our regular hustle and bustle. Great location, walking distance to so many good spots to eat and drink. Enjoyable walk over the bridge for the Bengals game! Great neighborhood, would definitely come back.

Convenient stay in Covington!

This place was awesome for visiting Cincinnati. It was only a 7-8 minute car ride to get across the river and into the city. Check in was easy with a 4-digit code. Location right across from the liquor store was also nice. Bed was firm but comfortable and all amenities worked as listed.

Weekend getaway

Lovely space to stay. Surprisingly quiet considering how much activity is in the neighborhood. This was a great place to call base while we would come and go to do activities on Cincinnati. Very easy to get to from the 71 south, first exit and you could usually find parking right around the corner from this house. The house was clean and quiet.

1st Vrbo experience-Went Great!

Nice older building. Close to fun Main St in Covington KY. A bit tough to walk to Reds games, LYFT was pretty cheap. 3 main things were great -shower, bed and air conditioning (very hot when we were there). Carpet stained, but assume clean. Otherwise, very close to pics and description. Directly across the street from a busy liquor store, lil sketchy on Sat night, but we were fine.
