Summary:
Welcome to Heart of Mainstrasse Apt. 3, 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.

Beyond this area, there’s still so much more to explore.

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.

Great location for walking around Mainstrasse Village. Enjoyed our stay. Everything needed (with the exception of a working refrigerator/freezer) was provided. This was an inconvenience for us, however, not a deal-breaker. Would stay again.
This is a cute apartment and located within walking distance to so many restaurants, bars and cute shops. We really enjoyed our stay in Covington and it was perfect for the two of us but has space for more as there is a 2nd bedroom and pull-out couch too. There's so much to offer on both sides of the Ohio River, it was a great getaway, easy to access, secure entry & safe parking. We would stay here again!
Great location to stay to explore the greater Cincinnati area.
This property provided easy access to everything we wanted to go and do. We would definitely book again if in the area. Thanks for helping make our stay comfortable.

We loved our stay in Mainstrauss! This property was very cute and clean. Easy process to check in and out. I will recommend to my friends and family. Will book again.
Just what we wanted. Walking distance to all the places on Main St. and a nice quiet very clean apartment.

Thank you for reviewing your experience with Grand Welcome! We hope to host you again soon, either here or at one of our many locations across the country!
We had a couple of days to visit friends in town on the way back West. This property was the perfect fit in an ideal central location.

Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear your Grand Welcome Vacation experience and hope to host you again soon, either here or at one of our many locations across the country.
We went to Cincinnati for a ballgame and concert at Hard Rock Casino. 10 to 15 minutes ride. Time in between filled in the Main Street area-around the Corner-with eating, shopping, bars, market. GREAT value. Lucky find!
Everything was exactly as pictured. The unit was comfortable and clean and provided everything we needed. We asked for a couple more hand towels and they were promptly delivered. The location is great for walking to restaurants and pubs.
Very clean with modern amenities and plenty of linens and towels. 2 caveats: 1) stairs are steep to climb up, and 2) alleyways are narrow so be careful with larger cars (we have a minivan. Other than that, we loved staying here.
Upstairs apartment was very clean and supplied many necessities (towels, hand soap, paper towels, comfortable beds with bed linens). Parking for second vehicle was conveniently available across the unbusy street (public paid parking) or street parking (free). Great community to stay, so much to do for adults within walking distance).
Location was convenient and great restaurants within easy walking distance. Weekend noise can be a bit loud but turning on ceiling fans helped drown it out. The beds are unfortunately not comfortable at all and need replaced. Both sag in the middle. The windows could also use a deeper cleaning. All in all, the unit met are needs and is almost a perfect rental.
The apartment was very spacious and clean. Perfect space for me and my friends. Location was great, less than a minute walk to Mainstrasse. The only downside was the apartment right to us through a big party, resulting in some criminal activity which made us feel unsafe. Nothing the host could have done to prevent it from happening.

We will definitely take your feedback into consideration as we work to ensure that our guests feel safe and comfortable during their stay.
We hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future.
The place was very nice and clean. The beds were comfortable. The location wasn't bad, just hard to get around in a full sized pickup truck. We were there for work, so the truck was a must. The only thing we didn't like was that people staying in another unit made lots of noise through midnight, which made it extremely hard to sleep. The host answered my texts concerning this issue almost immediately and helped to take care of the problem.
We were originally booked in a two bedroom unit. We were informed several hours before our check-in that this unit had sustained damage due to frozen pipes. Our contact was quickly able to offer our group two single units next to each other and fairly close to where we originally booked. The communication regarding the change was excellent and they even provided an extra “welcome gift” for any inconvenience. I would highly recommended any Grand Welcome property.
Very centrally located Right in Main Street of Covington. Literally, a bar across parking where you can hear the music and patrons. We enjoyed the proximity to restaurants and bars. That’s why we like the area. If you want peace and quiet you may want something a little farther.
Also, as reviewed before, you can hear all steps from people upstairs.
Access to second floor where unit is, has rickety steps Once in unit is very nice with all appliances. Loved the washer and dryer.
Place clean with exception of dust rabbits under bed.
This place was super cute! The decorating was so cute! Very clean! Except the bed in the back. I don’t think they washed the sheets or the mattress cover. The sheets had hairs on it and there were stains on the cover. Needless to say, we washed it before sleeping in it! It also was not the most comfortable. It sunk towards the middle. My daughter slept in it with me and we kept rolling in and felt like we were on top of each other. Could use TVs in the bedrooms and a bigger couch. The stairs to get up to the apartment were pretty steep but I did read that in other ratings so I already knew that. The neighborhood was super cute! Lots of little pubs around. Lol Overall the place was great though! It was close to everything we wanted to do! We really enjoyed our stay!
