Bengals Game
My dad and I stayed here for a Bengals game. The room was a pretty short walk to get to Cincinnati. There were also a lot of great bars and restaurants close to the room. I would highly recommend the globe a drink or two. This room is exactly what you need for a weekend getaway.

This is an awful place, avoid.
This is the worst VRBO I've ever stayed at. For starters, the entryway is permanently damp and smells weird. This would have been forgivable, but the entryway is next to the bedroom and no fans are provided.
Also, the apartment is advertised as "above the Globe." The host even provides coupons for renters to local establishments, including the Globe. However, the Globe is a private event space and not open to the public. This means the bass of the music will prevent you from sleeping until whenever their private party stops, but you can't actually enter the premises to listen to the music. On the nights we were there, the music was going until well after 4am.
As a bonus, patrons of the club will constantly be outside the building yelling and smoking clove cigarettes. So not only is the poorly insulated living room filled with all kinds of fumes, but you get to listen to intoxicated people fight cars.
We tried to turn on the TV to drown out the noise, but the internet connection wasn't strong enough to stream. Hosts also left us 1.5 rolls of TP for 2 nights.
Also, only some of the validation parking tickets provided actually worked. So we ended up having to pay extra to park down the street from this awful place.

Last Minute Work Trip
I had a great stay! The property was clean, and cozy! I felt right at home. I had a full kitchen when I wanted to make food and a bunch of resturants in walking distance when I didn't.
I traveled for work and it was planned last minute. I requested the stay the night before I needed a place and got a response and confirmation in an hour. They are very responsive. I definitely recommend!
