Great location

We had such a great time staying in the slanted house. It really is a nice spot if you’re looking to go to a bengals game and hit up some bars and restaurants after. Shuttle picks you up right down the road and takes you straight there for $1 a person.

This home was so amazing. The decor was top notch to begin. The size of each room was perfect. Alexa playing relaxing music, bed was so comfortable and they have an area outside the bedroom door where you can go sit and have a smoke if you need too. I was sitting out back with my sweetheart and seen a falling star . This place is a must stay if you’re ever in the area. You won’t be disappointed I promise you that.

Really Enjoyed the Slanted House!

My husband and I really enjoyed our overnight stay at The Slanted House. The place was clean, comfortable and full of small touches that made our stay nicer (thanks for stocking the house with coffee!). The location of the slanted house is also great and is very close to many restaurants and shops in Covington. We went to the Savannah Bananas game during our stay and it was very convenient to catch the Southbank shuttle (2 pp) to the stadium. Also, we met our host Vicky and her Mom on the last day. Thanks for the nice conversation and restaurant recommendations, Otto's was great for brunch!

Lovely weekend stay

This apartment was perfect for a weekend stay in Cincinnati with my husband and our small dog. It's located on a bustling street but is immediately over the water from downtown Cincinnati, close to so many things. Unit was well stocked and adorable, just was highly communicative whenever needed. Would definitely keep this place in mind next time we return.

Great place to stay with a unique charm. It’s within walking distance to many attractions, shopping and dining. My only complaint would be that it only sleeps 2 comfortably. The couch is an option for 3 (in our case) or more. Would definitely stay again but bring an air mattress next time.

Perfect location to be close to a friend of mine in Northside & close to all the vintage/thrift we came to explore! Close to all kinds of good food as well.
