NCAA Volleyball Trip

The house was in a good location. Very easy to navigate to downtown. Had the weather been warmer I’m sure my group would have been happy to walk to the KFC Yum arena. More than enough beds for my family (5). Host was great at communicating. I would stay here again.

Great stay in Louisville

This was a lovely property, exactly as described in the listing. The home is spacious and had everything we needed for a family of 5. The kitchen was well-appointed and I really appreciated the coffee and snacks left by the host. The location is also excellent, within 15 minutes of just about everything in the city. The host was helpful and responsive. We would absolutely stay again!

Lovely home!

Enjoyed a quick trip to Louisville. This home is better then described. It is lovely and the hosts have thought of everything a guest may need! The area is a bit loud it was the 4th of July week so perhaps it’s quieter at other times. Would highly recommend this home and this host!

Gracious Host, Excellent Accommodations

We enjoyed our 7 day stay at this charming property located in the historic district of Louisville while attending the annual art show. All the accommodations were spot on and, James, our most gracious host, was quick to respond to our questions and needs as well as provide a well supplied pantry of coffee and snacks. Loved the decor, artwork, and spaciousness of clean rooms. Appreciated that there was private parking as streetside is busy. This is a great rental for couples to larger families... a home away from home while enjoying the offerings of Louisville. Thanks to James and Staff...Highly Recommend.

Very nice inside!

This rental was so nice! The inside is beautifully decorated, and it is very spacious. The location was very convenient as well. The neighborhood is better than expected from our initial drive in. There are some homes that need to be fixed up, but we never felt unsafe. There is some road noise from the area, but I’m a light sleeper and was able to sleep through it all. Our host, James, accommodated our early check in time and provided a list of restaurants at a variety of price points. Overall a fabulous rental. Our entire group, from my mid 70s parents to my teen children, would recommend this place.

Labor Day Bourbon Tour

The location of this rental was terrific. We were within 10/15 minutes of downtown, where 'Whiskey Row' is located. It made the Ubers cheap and quick. The rental was clean and spacious. We cooked some meals there with no problems/missing items. The pillows were a little flat, but it was no issue considering how tired we all were. The manager was easy to get in contact with and was helpful when we experienced some issues with the website. The area was a little loud at night and shady, but I never felt unsafe.

Exactly what we needed!

Our experience here was excellent. James is VERY attentive and has wonderful communication. We arrived late and found the home easily and it was so comforting to arrive to a warm, lit house. Everything is very clean, beautifully decorated, and the layout for awake and rest times very good. We all slept very well and everyone was happy to have a very generous sized bed. The location is amazing too equally easy to access both downtown and the outer parts of Louisville. We navigated around a new city easily. The house is BEAUTIFUL, historic and we will miss it! Looking forward to another stay in the future and very grateful we had the opportunity to visit.

Concert/Bourbon Weekend Trip

My sisters and I spent a long weekend in Louisville to catch a concert at the Palace and explore the distilleries in Louisville. This house was perfectly located in the historic area, walkable to some great eateries and shops around the area (Toasty's Tavern and Renshoku Ramen) and a very quick uber/drive away from downtown. Parking in the back of the house was gated, with plenty of space if you had more than one car outside the gate. The house itself was exactly as the pictures show. Beautiful historical house that's been well updated. Beds were plenty and super comfortable, and all amenities like shampoo, makeup wipes, extra towels, hair dryers, etc were all provided. Kitchen was stocked with a welcome supply of snacks and coffee. There were four of us for this weekend but this house could have easily housed many more. We'd absolutely recommend for a good jumping off point to explore Louisville.

Great Property in Old Louisville

Our group of four stayed here for three nights. We’re from out of state and it was our first visit here. We wanted to stay in a more historic part of the city, and this home was perfect. It has been nicely updated, but still retains the feel of historic Louisville. The bedrooms/beds were comfy, nicely decorated with good linens and the bathrooms had nicer amenities than is typical. James was probably the best host we’ve ever had with a rental property. He was accessible and always helpful including providing us with restaurant recommendations. The home was well stocked with snacks and beverages for us…a nice touch. Don’t let the photo of the stairs intimidate you. We’re all over 70 and had no problems whatsoever. There is a handrail and the stair treads were a good size. So going up and down wasn’t an issue. We loved the common areas downstairs…there is a half bath downstairs as well. There is also an enclosed concrete parking pad for your vehicle which was nice. We really enjoyed our stay here. Thank you, James!

Very Disappointed

I booked a three night stay based on high ratings for this property. The location is convenient and the owner was very nice and easy to contact. Everything else did not live up to the high ratings. The neighborhood is in the process of recertification but much of the neighborhood is still rundown with questionable people roaming. We tried to walk after dinner the first night but quickly realized we felt unsafe. The house has been somewhat updated but stills needs a lot of work and better cleaning. The worst part of the property is the constant loud traffic noise that is as loud at 3:00 am as it is at 3:00 pm. Oak street is apparently a connector road used for commercial trucks to access interstate I-65 all day and all night. The house is only a couple of blocks from I-65 and again constant traffic noise is heard from the interstate. We moved from the primary bedroom to a bedroom at the back of the house the second night. We used two white noise apps on each side of the bed and used ear plugs in hopes of getting some sleep. This only helped slightly. We were so uncomfortable with the bad neighborhood, the constant excessive loud noises and inability to sleep we made the decision to leave after the second day. It was worth losing a days rent to get out of this situation. I think the owner has good intentions and tries very hard to be a good host with supplying snacks, coffee, toiletries, water etc. but this doesn’t compensate for all the other issues of the property.
