I loved the feel of the house. You could tell it had been there for a long time but was well taken care of. The beds were super comfortable and i appreciated that there was no TV in any bedroom. The wall of boardgames was a really nice touch.

Looks like a great location for going out, we just passed through. One note is that the airport is close if you are a light sleeper.

We had a wonderful time. The location was great and close to a lot of attractions and food options. The home wasn’t as clean as we were hoping for (sheets and dishwasher) but over all we really enjoyed our stay.

This is a spacious property with funky decor in a cool neighborhood. Check in was smooth and there were plenty of supplies all around. I enjoyed my stay here and would recommend it. This is what VRBO properties should be!

This was a great, central location for checking out a few distilleries while in Louisville. Walking distance to several restaurants and less than ten minutes from downtown. The house was perfect for the four of us. We enjoyed our time.

This home is cozy, comfortable. It is convenient to many Louisville attractions and night life! The hometown inspired decor, local artisans' work, is very lovely and funky too! The property manager is very responsive and helpful.

Such a safe, lovely neighborhood. Close to downtown. It was perfect for our needs. The back bedrooms get a bit chilly. Bring your warm pajamas! Great place to stay.

We stayed here to complete the Bourbon trail. House in a good location in the middle of distilleries we had left. Home was clean. Parking on the street was normally available pretty close to the house. Nice towels

It was a cute shotgun home in a safe working class neighborhood. There were several neighborhood shops, resturants and pubs all in walking distance and was a short drive to the downtown attractions and to Churchill Downs. We loved reading the journal that available for all the guests to write about their experiences.
