Perfect for a short stay in Louisville!

The house was easy to find and access, and it was very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed and the living room had a very high ceiling which made it seem super-spacious. The washer and dryer were very convenient. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Beat Festival Ever!

This house was located in the perfect place for us for food, bars, and getting in and out of the festival easily. We were able to get there in 9 minutes and home in 15-20 leaving the Expo Fairgrounds! The house was well kept and clean, and exactly what we needed for the two of us! Karen was great with communication with us as we got into town a bit earlier than we had planned originally. We will definitely stay there again in the future!

Great stay

The house was clean and the check-in process was good. No direct communication from the host initially but all the information was included in the email. The location was great! Minutes away from Logan Street Market and only a few minutes away from downtown. Lots of great restaurants in the neighborhood that are within walking distance. We would stay again if we come back to Louisville. The only minor complaint would be that the AC/HVAC is loud when it’s on. The neighborhood seemed pretty safe but we did see a few sketchy people walking around when we were sitting out front. If you’re inside the whole time you shouldn’t have any issues.

Cute House, Great Location

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here. The house is clean, cute and comfortable. This area is growing and there are new spots every time we visit. The Bean, Hauck's and Three Pegs are old standbys but North of Bourbon, The Breeze, and Nook and Nowhere were awesome. Highly recommend :)

Louisville visit

We were in Louisville to visit family. This location was within close proximity to family and provided many options on Goss to enjoy a meal and visit a grocery store. While the weather was typical Louisville summer 'hot' the home was cool. The pictures and descriptions were exactly as described and decorated with a Louisville vibe. It was nice to have off street parking, but there was street parking available if needed. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Sumner

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived in this neighborhood since 1997. I was born in Louisville and my husband grew up in California. I am a retired nurse now realtor and my husband is a general contractor and has been doing home renovations since 2007.
We both graduated from the University of Louisville. We started our home sharing adventure in May of 2017 and have absolutely loved meeting people from all over North America. We would love to host people from other countries too. Everyone we have met has been so considerate and come visit for a variety of reasons from KY Derby to sporting events to just wanting to meet up with old friends. Let us know why you are coming to visit and we will try to accommodate and enhance your stay.
Peace and Love,
The Sumners

All of the best local restaurants and bars within walking distance. We are close to Bardstown Rd shopping, restaurants & bars, Downtown, Ky Expo Center, University of Louisville and Churchill Downs, and live entertainment at the Paristown Hall.

What makes this property unique

We have private parking pad in the back. We're close to University of Louisville and Churchill Downs!
Did I mention the standup vintage video game machine with PacMan, Mrs PacMan, Donkey Kong, Galaga, etc! Bring some quarters;)
