vacationing in a polar vortex!
The Over-the-Rhine neighborhood is terrific! So many shops and restaurants within a few blocks. I really loved the vintage poster shop a few doors from the apartment. Great coffee at 1215 Wine Bar & Coffee Lab, just 2 blocks away, and Pepp & Dolores for dinner 2 blocks in the other direction. I just wish that it hadn't been Zero degrees during my stay; I would have explored the neighborhood a lot more on foot.The best part was the parking pass for a multi-story garage across the street - a quick, bundled-up dash from the apartment to the car, to go to the fantastic museums a couple of miles away. Be sure to check out the American Sign Museum, the Cincinnati Art Museum and the various museums in the spectacular converted United Terminal train station.The apartment itself was great. Everything is as described, but I must note that, especially in the cold, the stairs above the second floor are outside and open to the elements. Lighting on the stairs could also be improved, but this is likely beyond the owner's control. Just be mindful of the weather for rain or snow. This is a fairly minor quibble, but it was not something I anticipated.All in all, I really enjoyed my first trip to Cincy. But maybe in spring or fall next time!
