271 McGregor Ave

When you’re not in class, use 271 McGregor Ave as your base for exploring the best of Cincinnati. Spend the day poring over the 60,000 artworks on display at the Cincinnati Art Museum, ranging from ancient Egyptian artefacts to masterpieces by the likes of Monet and Picasso. Pack a picnic for a morning amidst the ornamental flowerbeds of spectacular Eden Park, before heading to Nippert Stadium to cheer for the Cincinnati Bearcats football team. In the evening, catch a brand new musical at theatrical landmark Playhouse in the Park, or get tickets to a show at Bogart’s alternative music venue.

With the University of Cincinnati just a 15-minute walk away, getting to classes from 271 McGregor Avenue is easy. Keep a car in the free parking facility for exploring on weekends, or take a four-minute stroll to your closest bus stop. Head to historic Findlay Market to browse for ingredients among the fresh produce stalls, or catch the Cincinnati Reds, America’s oldest major league baseball team, in action at the Great American Ball Park.

When you don’t feel like venturing too far, stay home and relax in your apartment. In summer, make the most of your all-inclusive rent by cranking up the air conditioning; then rifle through the fridge for a tasty snack. Put your feet up on the living room couch for a session in front of the TV, or sprawl out on your bed and use the free internet to Skype home. If you’ve got work to finish, spend an hour studying at your convenient desk, before de-stressing with a long, hot shower.

When you get hungry, stock up on hard-to-find groceries at the Happy Asian Mart down the road and cook dinner with your flatmates in your apartment kitchen. With a dishwasher included cleaning up will be easy, but if you’d rather eat out you can get your friends together for schnitzels at German restaurant Mecklenburg Gardens, or for gourmet burgers at Hang Over Easy. 

For an extra monthly fee, you can upgrade your stay at 271 McGregor Ave to include everything from bedding to a TV, so you could even arrive with just your suitcase and immediately feel at home. The friendly management company will be on hand from day one, happy to assist with any problems you may have.
