City View Oasis: Prime Location, Parking, AC &Wifi
Emma's place was exactly as described. With its 3 floors, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms it was easy for our family of 6 (plus a dog) to spread out when we wanted to but big enough for us to be together on the main floor. It is off the main street but extremely walkable to lots of stuff, coffee, restaurants, and even the Cincinnati FC game. There is a grass area across the street and a park very close for pups to run around. Emma answered all of our questions promptly and was super helpful. Would definitely stay again!

♥Historic Home on KY Bourbon Trail!♥Mins 2 Cincy!♥
Beautiful quaint house. Dog friendly with fenced in backyard. Only 15 minutes from our son who lives in Cincinnati. Jordan is a great host! Very responsive! Would stay there again!

3 BR House 3.5 miles from Downtown Cincinnati
Came down to celebrate my lil sister's bday, 1st yr after loosing our mother. Scott was kind enough to let us have a later check out, which helped as my oldest sister has issues moving. So. Thanks again Scott

Cozy Country Studio Suite
John and Kim’s place was very cozy, clean and private with beautiful surroundings. The communication was a plus! They actually connected me and let me know that I could check in earlier which was perfect with an earlier flight arrival. It’s about 50 min from CVG.

Huge 2 Bedroom House in the Heart of Northside!
This is a beautiful old house, built around 1900, with 3 floors, in an up-and-coming neighborhood of Cincinnati. The first floor includes a large living room, large dining room, well-equipped kitchen, and guest bathroom. The second floor includes a very large front bedroom, and medium-sized back bedroom, and a spacious bathroom. The decor is very homey, comfortable, and warm. All fixtures and amenities worked well. Entry is by keypad, and hosts communicated well. The only slight challenged is parking on the somewhat narrow (but quiet and walkable) residential street, but I could always find a space within a few houses of this airbnb. Parallel parking skills are helpful! Several good restaurants within walking distance. A wonderful and well-equipped house. Highly recommended.

**CHIC + COMFY 2 BDR HOME in a cul-de-sac**
Such a peaceful experience. Neighborhood quiet. Plenty of room to spread out in the home. Nice little extras throughout the house made us feel welcome. Suzi was responsive and kind.

Tranquil In-Town Garden Carriage House, No pet fee
My fiancé & I, as well as our doggo Hammy came to stay at the Carriage House for my 29th birthday weekend. Jon was extremely helpful and communicative, and provided us with detailed instructions on how to access the building as well as many recommendations of things to do and places to eat in the city. I usually have a hard time sleeping in new places, but with the storms that came in through the night and the comfort of the murphy style bed, I had the best sleep I've probably had in 5 years!! We were able to check out Findlay Market, and tried "The Pony", a small bar/restaurant in the OTR district- where I had the best hand cut French fries I've ever tasted! You can tell Jon really cares about his space, that he appreciates art & the community- and his 2 cute and friendly pups were a huge plus. They got along so well with Hammy! We will absolutely be back during the summer so we can enjoy the beautiful garden to its full potential. Thanks again Jon!

Historic home in the heart of downtown
Great location. A bunch of walkable restaurants and shops. Super easy to find, videos on how to get there, parking, and getting in. Cute little house. Great for a girls weekend!

We had our family Christmas gathering at the Gray Whale - it was a perfect accommodation for a large family - plenty of space for meals, sufficient kitchen, plenty of beds and bathrooms, and room to work puzzles and play games.

Spacious home with lots of family entertainment
Sara's place is a Home away from Home. This was our 4th stay at Caledonia Cottage...and definitely won't be our last. Great accommodations for a Snowcation to Perfect North. The home includes everything a family needs...the game room is a favorite for the kids. The linens and beds are crisp and clean- the kitchen has everything you need to prepare any meals. The outdoor space is serene. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The space is meticulously clean, tastefully decorated and includes thoughtful amenities throughout. Always an amazing stay.

Condo rentals in Cincinnati

Modern Downtown/OTR Condo Near Everything
Danny’s place is in a terrific location, central to everything we wanted to see and do in Cincinnati! Everything was walkable from his air bnb. The greatest plus was the bed was SUPER comfy and we slept like champs during our stay. Danny was easy to reach for recommendations and any other local questions. Will visit again!

Downtown Luxury! Renovated 2 bedroom,Free Parking!
Stayed overnight with friends. Couldn’t have asked for a better place. Very clean and very cozy.

Sunny OTR/Findlay Market Condo
We enjoyed Christy's place. It was in a great location in the OTR neighborhood right beside the Findlay market. We really enjoyed our stay there!

PERFECT Condo Downtown Next to the Hard Rock!
It’s a great place for a couple who is looking to explore the restaurants and nightlife of downtown Cincinnati. We walked to the Taft Theatre and the places we ate and rank at were so close. We parked on the street and paid the meter by their app; $6 got us through the end of the afternoon when we checked in til 8am, then I woke up at 8 and extended our time for $3. We felt very safe, and the whole building is very nice not to mention Will’s condo. We’ll definitely stay there again!

Walnut Condo.Best Location in the City. 2bed/2bath
Kristopher was very professional and easy to communicate with. The apartment is beautiful and comfortable. The rooms are large and well appointed. It is located right across the street from Kroger's supermarket, which has a Starbucks and food court upstairs. There are shady characters in the area but I never felt unsafe. It's easy to get inside the apartment building with a keypad and the key is left in a lockbox next to the door. The place is very walkable, and by walking a block you can take the streetcar on a loop around the city. There are many wonderful restaurants in the area - walkable, but I felt safer to walk by myself during the day. The apartment is located upstairs from a bar, which can get loud by day with delivery trucks & with music but they cut down on the noise in the late evening. Even with some cons about the surroundings, I loved Kristopher's place and would return if I needed to stay in Cincinnati again.

2 BR High End Condo in Amazing OTR w/Free Parking
Chris and Amy's place is wonderful. I would recommend and stay there again in the future. Chris and Amy are great hosts, timely appropriate communication, answered any questions and had great suggestions for restaurants. The home was as described, clean and in a great neighborhood, stocked with the essentials needed for a comfortable stay, even a washer and dryer if needed. The Over the Rhine neighborhood is walkable and is close to restaurants, Findlay Market, bars, coffee shops, breweries, venues and parks and only a couple miles from downtown Cincinnati. Parking was convenient, only 5 minutes away in a nearby garage but we did not need a car since everything is so close by. I stayed there with my two sisters for the Cincinnati Bockfest celebration. We all were visiting my niece from out of town and having such a great accommodation at Chris and Amy's home made our stay in Cincinnati that much more enjoyable. Again, I highly recommend staying with Chris and Amy.

Chic Open Condo Sleeps 14 w/ Off-Street Parking
Our stay at Marcy's was great! We only stayed for one night and she was very accommodating when I requested an early check-in. She has great communication and shared proactive instructions so our check in and check out process was easy. I'd highly recommend for a group stay!

Condo/EdenPark/Downtown/FCC/Reds/Bengals/Hospitals
This was our second stay at Emily’s place and it was absolutely perfect again! The condo was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay -including snacks in the kitchen! How thoughtful! Emily was incredibly responsive and accommodating, making check-in and communication easy. The location was ideal, with easy access to downtown and expressways. We would highly recommend this listing to anyone visiting Cincinnati and can't wait to return!

Your guide to Cincinnati
All About Cincinnati
Ask a local what’s best about Cincinnati and they may mention their beloved baseball heroes, authentic Cincinnati chili, or goetta sausage in the bustling Over-the-Rhine (OTR) district. Or, they could suggest you delve into the city’s past along the Brewing Heritage Trail, or on one of the iconic steamer riverboats that cruise up and down the Ohio River, which runs through the city’s center.
History is also on display in Cincinnati’s thriving art and design scene. The Cincinnati Art Museum, which holds tens of thousands of artworks, dates back to 1886. The Taft Museum of Art, housed in one of the city’s oldest wooden residences, opened in 1820 and remains a National Historic Landmark. The Contemporary Art Center has supported numerous world-renowned artists early in their careers, and also offers a genre-spanning performing arts program. Walk around downtown Cincinnati and you’ll notice numerous examples of Art Deco architecture, with buildings like Union Terminal and Carew Tower defining the skyline.
Cincinnati is also home to several parks and botanical gardens, and you can head outside the city for a hike at one of the many state parks and nature reserves in the surrounding area.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cincinnati
Cincinnati experiences all four seasons with gusto. Summer brings high temperatures — and football and baseball seasons that are in full swing. Dining outside is the norm at this time of year, and the river is teeming with activity. Vacation rentals in Cincinnati are popular in the fall because of the wealth of festivals in the city, including Oktoberfest Zinzinnati at Findlay Market and the city’s many incarnations of Fall Fest with events that pop up all over town. Come in the winter and you’ll find very cold temperatures, snow, and Fountain Square turned into an ice rink. Spring brings a return to warmer temperatures, the annual beer festival, and the city’s biggest and most famous event — the opening of the baseball season.
Top things to do in Cincinnati
Markets
Markets are institutions in Cincinnati, and you can pick up handmade goods and vintage wares at various locations around town. The 30-year-old Peddler’s flea market is open daily and extends both indoors and outdoors with more than 300 stalls of bric-a-brac and second-hand treasures. Findlay Market, which dates back to the 19th century, is a collection of farm stalls selling fresh produce, homemade cakes, craft beers and spirits, and artisan foods and flowers.
Mt. Airy Forest
Around a 20-minute drive north of downtown, this pocket of wilderness and its network of short trails are easily accessible. Keep an eye out for mountain bikers and horseback riders as you explore almost 1,500 acres of park — Cincinnati’s largest — then settle down for a picnic surrounded by magnolias and lilacs. You can even fire up one of the on-site grills.
Cincinnati Museum Center
Housed inside the imposing Art Deco train station Union Terminal, which is a sight to behold in itself, the Cincinnati Museum Center takes the concept of museum-hopping to a new level. Explore the interactive, scaled-down town at the Children’s Museum, get a taste of the past at a recreated 19th-century exhibit at the History Museum, and launch an intergalactic experience in the Neil Armstrong Space Exploration Gallery at the Museum of National History and Science, all just steps from one another.
