About this house rental
Our tranquil 1860 suite is newly remodeled and provides a relaxing stay for 1 to 3 people. Set alongside Cincinnati OH and thriving MainStrasse Village in Covington KY, this charming suite is located next to everything else cool and trendy in Downtown, Bellevue and Newport! It’s only four blocks from the Ohio River.
THE SPACE
The Slanted House is perfect for a small group to solo travelers, business trips, families with kids, and furry friends. You’ll feel like you’re at home with a fully-stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, outdoor patio, Netflix on Apple TV, Alexa through out, complimentary drinks, coffee, snacks and more!
This suite is located on the first floor of a two-family and allows for super easy on-street parking right in front of the home. There is relaxing patio space located alongside the row house for sipping cocktails or coffee.
BE A GEEK in this Smart Home and control the Hue Lighting, limitless music, and house temperature with your personal assistant Alexa. There is also extremely high-speed wireless internet and a multi-port USB station for charging up devices. For your ENTERTAINMENT, we offer free Netflix, Apple TV, and have an antenna for local channels. Feel free to log into your own HULU, HBO, Sling, Disney+, Amazon Prime, etc. accounts as well. Note: we do not have cable.
Snuggle up in a gel-infused memory foam queen-size bed in the BEDROOM then ask Alexa to help you drift away with sleep sounds or soft music. There is a desk in the bedroom for private workspace. Extra blankets and a twin-size camping cot can be found in the closet. If using the sofa to sleep, you must cover it with the provided linens in the towel closet.
The LIVING ROOM has a 55-inch Apple TV, games, puzzles, and toys for the kiddos. We provide the popcorn! Enjoy a little something extra most places don’t have …. our foot massager! Ahhhhhhh.
In the BATHROOM we provide all towels, linens, and toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush / toothpaste, and bath gel so you don’t have to tote them. Enjoy the personalized tall shower with many unique settings such as waterfall and massage.
The KITCHEN is decked out with everything you’ll need for preparing meals at home. If it’s not there, we want to know so we can add it! Take a peek through our cabinets and drawers - you’ll find spices and herbs, pots ’n pans, baking dishes, cutting boards, knives, and many other helpful items. We offer a Cuisinart single serve coffee maker, designed to brew a coffee pod (provided) or fresh whole beans (provided). It brews both! We also have a hot/cold milk frother (buy your favorite dairy or non-dairy at Circle K around the corner on Russell St. or at the gas station a few houses up toward Johnson St.).
Want to add a couple more guests? See if Aways Friday is available upstairs and enjoy the entire house together. We also have The Tres House and House of Liebe one street over …. they sleep 6 each.

The home had everything you needed. Very clean and comfortable. Unique items to look at use in the home, very nostalgic. The location is within walking distance to so many great restaurants and bars. We had the best time just walking out the front door for dinner and drinks. We were also close to Cincinnati.
5.0
The property was in a great location with great access to everything we needed. We are back in the area frequently with our pups and would definitely stay again.

Everything was perfect. Had a concert at hard rock and didn’t want to make the long drive home. Found this place and everything was perfect. Thank you

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.

Loved this stay! The rooms are all beautifully decorated and interesting. The music through the house was wonderfully relaxing. The location was better than we imagined. Everywhere we wanted to be was practically within walking distance. Just perfect!

My husband and I booked Vicky and Doug's place for an overnight trip. We planned to see a show at the Aronoff Center in Cincinnati on a Thursday night and chose to kick around Covington Friday morning and afternoon.
What a great spot! The house was cozy and charming -- and clean. Most of my communication was with Vicky, and she was prompt with responses and made some excellent recommendations.
The rental was conveniently located near Main Street (Mainstrasse) shops and restaurants, and just steps away from the Southbank Shuttle stop. We could easily walk to all the amenities, and the Shuttle took us up to Fountain Square, just a few blocks from the theater.
One amenity of the house I particularly enjoyed after a day out walking was the foot massager in the living room. It was nice to kick back, flipping through the old-school View Master toy and listening to classic vinyl while my tootsies got a treat.
We stayed Thursday night and did not notice any loud street traffic, and the upstairs neighbors were pretty quiet during our stay. In the morning, we followed the simple check-out instructions, grab a complimentary snack for the road, and thanked our hosts for a wonderful (albeit short) stay.

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.
5.0
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. Probably better to visit when it’s warmer to walk ☺️ Loved the apartment! Vicky & Doug know how to make you feel like you’re at home! Would recommend 1000%

Perfect for last minute trip to serve as our home base as we explored the area.
The little touches throughout the house were fun to find. Super comfy mattress!
Our dog was pleased with the variety of place's to go on his walks. There were a few other dogs being walked in the area so he had plenty to smell!

This was my first stay at Slanted House, after two stays at Always Friday, which is directly above. Once again it was a fantastic experience. The property owners are excellent to deal with, the location is perfect, parking is very convenient. I would highly recommend any of their properties.

This place is *amazing*! SO MANY cute little touches everywhere. We were constantly saying "look at this!" "did you see this?". Just really neat stuff everywhere. The bed was comfy, kitchen/bathroom well stocked, and a complimentary FOOT MASSAGER :) We loved the location and can walk to the football and baseball stadiums (as well as a lot of great restaurants and bars). I cannot recommend this place highly enough. You will not regret booking here. We can't wait to return!

We came down for one night for a concert and it was very convenient to the megacorp pavilion. The property was very clean and had a lot of nice little touches. We were happy that we were able to bring our dog with us. I was a very nice spot and we would stay there again.

The house was very clean, well kept, had all the amenities we could need, and lots of charm! The hosts were great at communicating and made sure we didn’t need anything. The area is amazing! There were so many places to walk to we never even went into Cinci! We hope to come back

Came in town to watch Reds and Yankees. Great property.

This house is close to many restaurants and bars, and it's very easy to walk across the bridge to Cincinnati. The bed is comfortable. You can hear footsteps from upstairs and loud cars, but nothing that the white noise machine can't drown out. The house is very unique...almost like walking back in time. We really enjoyed our stay.
5.0
The house exceeded our expectations in so many ways. The bed was comfortable, and the house was more spacious than I anticipated. Vicky was also very good about communication. Highly recommend! Thanks for the stay.

I wanted a cute place to spend the weekend and I’m so glad I chose this property. The owners are so helpful and responsive and the place was as cute as could be! It was within walking distance to all the good food in Covington and would allow for easy access to downtown Cincinnati.
I’ll definitely be staying here again!

I would give this a 4.5 rating. We came for a bengals game & really enjoy walking. The location was perfect. It’s a quick walk over the bridge to Cincinnati. Very close to bars & eateries. There is overnight noice which may be difficult if you’re a light sleeper. Any issues were addressed by the host.

This apartment was super clean, in a good location and well stocked. Very cute retro decor. The rates are fabulous, especially for a dog friendly property.
5.0
Great apartment for our visit to Main Strasse Village. We were able to walk there with our dog every day, and have lunch outside with her. Our hosts were wonderful and communications before and during were helpful and friendly. The decorating was fun and kept us entertained. We had everything we needed. There is traffic noise, as it is on a busy one-way street, but we knew that ahead of time. Highly recommend staying with these hosts at any of their properties.

Great place, 10 min walk from all sorts of restaurants, bars, and more. Fantastic weekend getaway!
5.0
Great property for a couple. Cool retro decor and very clean. Conveniently located between bars and restaurants close to the Ohio River and Covington's downtown/Mainstrasse areas. A 10 minute walk or less gets you to any of those areas. Add another 10 more minutes or so and your across the river in Cincinnati enjoying a ball game or their eat and drink spots.
5.0
Great place. Vickie (host) is such a great person and place made our week long medical appointments for our son a lot more pleasant. She communicates from the beginning. Everything advertised is accurate. Will rent from her again.
