Was great to travel to Louisville for my brother’s 70th birthday and stay in a lovely home right in the neighborhood where we grew up. The unit is lovely and hosts are onsite and very responsive, and it’s walking distance to restaurants and shops. We’ll be back!

Was visiting a friend and needed something better than a hotel room. This fit the bill wonderfully. One suggestion is blinds on the two windows in the TV room. It felt a little exposed.

This cottage is perfect for two—comfortable, clean, and sophisticated. It’s located in a very cool neighborhood where you can walk to get coffee, wine, and groceries. A quick drive takes you to the park and creek. We stayed five nights for a local event affected by Hurricane Helene, but hanging out at the cottage made it easy. We drove into town, brought bikes, and cycling around the area was a lot of fun. We were grateful to have such lovely accommodations during our stay.

Great location! Easy access to downtown, never had any issues parking. From the location you can walk to several restaurants/bars. Stacy was very easy to communicate with. Her place is just as described, very clean and comfortable, has everything you need! Would highly recommend and stay here again.

We were staying in Louisville to help our son and family prepare their house. The apartment, while it had minimal supplies, was just what we were looking for. We look for clean and basic accommodations. This suited us well.

Clean, perfect size, everything you need. Everything good that’s been said about this VRBO is true. Premier host is right. Nice, quiet neighborhood. This is a good escape to solitude. Would stay there again!

We actually couldn’t make it to stay at the property, but the booking and communication was great. Hoping to have another opportunity to stay.

Overall, great stay. Positives: super clean, recently updated, nice appliances, nice neighborhood. Considerations: in a carriage house. Host super nice and very rarely saw but it was a little weird staying in their backyard. Also, it had a new small AC unit in the main area near the couch, but with no central air system, the bedroom remained very warm(we stayed in August). It was hot enough that my husband chose to sleep on the couch in the AC vs the bedroom.

I was attending a convention at the expo and needed someplace to stay. The host was prompt to respond to any questions I had. It was clean. You can hear the people above you unfortunately it is just the design of the space. Thankfully they were also attending the convention so our schedules were fairly similar.
I understand the need to keep the matress protected but the matress cover was very loud and hot since it apparently had a plastic/ vinyl layer. I would suggest looking for an alternative.
