Cincinnati Bed & Breakfasts

The owners are very nice and were warm and friendly we chatted for 1.5 or 2 hours after my arrival and I really enjoyed them. Their dog is also very nice and adds to the charm. I like watching the "This Old House" style of TV show and it was fun to stay with a couple who like to rehab older homes. It is a work in progress, but everything was neat and tidy by my arrival and whatever projects they are working on were not a hindrance to my stay. Breakfast was fresh pancakes, bacon and sliced fresh strawberries and french pressed coffee ... WAY better than a hotel lobby breakfast!! The cement contractor showed up around 6:30 AM to finish working on the front sidewalk. The owners had tried to reschedule his work, but they were unsuccessful. It was a noisy way to start the day, but it was a "one time only" work project and won't be an issue for any other guests.

Our hosts were personable and charming and their dog non-intrusive. A light breakfast of fresh food was welcome after a late night. The guest rooms and bath are clean. Bedroom decor is simple and soothing. The house has great bones and good potential. We were in town for a concert and liked being able to walk just a mile to Bogart's on Vine. Good value and met our needs. The place has zero curb appeal, not an obstacle for us, but has potential to discourage others. Long term ongoing renovations make this place more appropriate as AirBnB than a true B&B as the common areas remain in progress. Some people would be put off by the kitchen facilities such as they are, but that's for the hosts to work out, and they made my breakfast in there without a hitch, so none of my business.
