A few notes:
There are steps up to the house from the street, and the home has three stories. This is an older home with lots of steps, which unfortunately makes access difficult for anyone with mobility issues.
The bedrooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors.
The 2 full bathrooms (both with shower/tub combos) are on the 1st and 2nd floors.
The Music and Literature bedrooms have a door between them that can be locked from either side or can be open - great for families with children!
The Art Bedroom is open to the stairs, and guests staying in the Science Bedroom must pass through the Art Bedroom to go downstairs.
Ceilings in the 3rd floor bedrooms (Art and Science) are sloped, so please mind your head when navigating the space.
There is one motion-sensor flood light and camera located at the front entrance of the home. There is one security camera at the back door of the home.
The following areas of the home are used for owner storage and are not accessible to guests: living room closet, Music bedroom closet, basement, and backyard shed.
Allergen alert - While we do our best to thoroughly clean between guests, this home is dog-friendly and may not be appropriate for guests with pet allergies.
Whether you`re here to cheer on the Bengals, reconnect with family, or simply explore the city, Academy House offers a cozy, creative retreat you`ll remember long after checkout.
