Spacious 2 Bedroom Apt. in Entertainment District

ReganneRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

We really enjoyed our stay here! The location was great — it’s in downtown Maysville but is on a street that doesn’t get very much traffic. Downtown Maysville is very beautiful, and the AirBnB is really close to the old hospital, which is cool if you’re into older/historic buildings. The place was very clean and also spacious enough that we didn’t feel cooped up. Parking is on the street, but we never had any issues finding a spot. Overall, we had a great stay and would book here again!

Ms Kaye was the sweetest host, from meeting us out at the pool to the sweet bottle of wine. Her Airbnb was more than we expected and was super cozy too. We enjoyed listening to the rain come down from our own private covered porch as well. Our only regret was forgetting to bring/buy steak on this trip so we could have taken advantage of the covered grill area.
