Weekend trip to Louisville

The property is conveniently located to the convention center which was what we came to town for. My daughter was in an event there. The place was pet friendly. The beds were not very comfortable and the place is definitely dated. Enjoyed the coffe bar. Not much to cook with either. During the day it was safe but not a good area after dark. Towels and sheets were provided. Easy check in process.

Yes my home was built in 1912 and has a vintage look but everything works and is functional. My home is located in the city in which you should always be alert. However my neighborhood, statistically, is one of the safest neighborhoods in the city (day or night). There are pots, pans, plates, cups, spoons, etc. I've had hundreds of guest cook with no arguments. And if that were so I could easily provide anything that should be available. As for the beds, we can't please everyone. We do appreciate all our guests and will always try to improve.

Wonderful experience.

Host was very gracious. Property super clean. Very convenient to our dog show. Only thing was the property said fenced and it wasn't fenced completely so we couldn't use the yard but I would stay again. We locked the wrong lock and got locked out and our host came and let us in immediately. Just a wonderful person.

Small and cute

Overall it was a good stay, the place was dated but very clean and we loved the little coffee bar setup. I really wouldn't recommend more than 4 people though it can hold more, it was a bit tight with 5 of us. Comments from my friend include the need for serving size bowls and to check dishes that guests have washed. Would also recommend some coat hooks over the shoe tray inside the front door. Overall, excellent host with good communication, we had a good stay for that part of our trip.

Great stay and great host

Everything was just as described and clean. James is incredibly responsive and immediately replied to all of our questions about check in and using the google chromecast. The kitchen is probably the most well-stocked kitchen I have ever stayed in. There were snacks for the kids and coffee and teas, which just really made the stay special for all of us! The bathroom is very well stocked, if you forget anything it's probaby there. There were plenty of clean towels and washcloths for our family of 6. Thank you so much, James, we can't wait to come back to Kentucky Kingdom and visit your place again. Tip is to bring ear plugs and a soundspa if you are suburbanites like us, not used to the city sounds.

Cute little place

The place is dated since it only has 1 bathroom. We stayed here for an Event at the Kentucky Expo Center. We were only 10 minutes away. We had a few guinea pigs with us in the bedroom. The owner communicated well with me. The queen bed was comfortable, but the frame was quite noisy if you or your partner moved. It was quite dirty between the wall and the nightstand in the same bedroom - but I didn't see that until 2 days before we checked out. One suggestion is to make sure you take any seasoning with you. There are seasonings in most places I have stayed in, but this place has none. There are snacks, a few bottles of water in the fridge, and an assortment of K-Cups for the Keurig. The area is pretty safe, we mostly were gone during the day and returned late at night.

Almost perfect until we went to bed

All communication with James was quick. He apologized for not mowing the lawn. It was blazing hot weather so that was totally understandable. The location was as described and we loved the neat and cozy feel. All was well until we opened the microwave. The inside had not been cleaned. Easy enough to take care of. The second find was a bit more concerning. The bathroom mirror was missed in the cleaning as well. We left that untouched. We ran into real trouble when we went to bed. This is where the listing description was inaccurate. Far from comfortable, the bed also squeaked every time either of us moved even slightly. A sleepless night ensued. There were other beds but, as recent newlyweds, we have never slept in separate beds. We had secured the booking for three nights. We left after one night when we returned from church on Sunday morning. We advised James and specified our reason. Very disappointing.

There were a couple minor cleaning errors made that have been addressed with my staff. It happens but not very often. As far as the bed, I haven't had a problem with anyone regarding it. These guests were self-described seniors and may have required something in addition for comfort. I have stellar reviews on other sites as well as this one and I can not wait to host you future guests. One bad review will not stop this show!! All are more than welcome. Safe Travels!!!
