I do love to party but this is a boutique loft with 17 condo owners, most of which are the quiet type.
The neighbors are family and do look out for each other. There is a building noise ordinance of 10 P.M. on weekdays and 11 P.M. on weekends.

Great loft style accommodation near 4th Street Live and other downtown bars and restaurants. Very clean and well maintained unit with a record player, good selection of old vinyl and free parking! Host responded quickly and was very engaging. Ideal space for a couple.

10 star rating! The loft had everything that you could possibly need. It was spotless, the bed was super comfortable, and the location could not have been any better. Communication with the host was excellent. We went to an event at the KFC Yum Center, and it was a short walk away. We will definitely be back!

We loved out weekend in the loft. Even though it was cold, it was within walking distance of the Seelbach Hotel, where we enjoyed appetizers and drinks. The unit was probably the cleanest we've had with great amenities and comfortable furnishings. The communication and directions provided by Justin were also perfect. When we return to Louisville, we will definitely check the availability for River City Loft first.

The loft was extremely clean, the kitchen had everything you needed down to the coffee, creamer and sugars. Justin responded very quickly to our questions. I had read in reviews it was difficult to find but if you follow Justin’s detailed directions you should have no problem. A block from 4th St. Live and 3 from Convention Center. You can’t beat the price.
