thank you for the nice review. FYI, you’re supposed to get a five on communication but those stupid little stars. If you accidentally hit the wrong one it wouldn’t let me go back and fix it, but you were five star all the way.

Great stay in my old neighborhood!

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!

My husband and I stayed for the weekend, as we attended the Bourbon and Beyond Festival. The place was super clean and adorable. Great and quiet neighborhood. Stacy recommended plenty of local restaurants and they were all fantastic. I highly recommend staying here, if you are in the area.

Great location but not the friendliest host

The vrbo is in such a beautiful neighborhood. As far as the space, it was just what my husband and I needed. My only complaint is that communication with the host lacked any sort of warmth or hospitality.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Apr 2025
Oh wow this is a first. Not sure what I ever said or did. I usually don’t have any communication with my guests. I don’t need to. So I apologize if you didn’t think I was friendly via any text messages. That was never my intent.

About the host

Hosted by Stacy K Nicolas

Host profile image
I am originally from the great state of Texas that is my home. Moved to
Louisville 17 years ago for my husband. Together we have five adult children and 3 grandchildren. Our home and airbnbs are in a wonderful neighborhood where you can walk your dog’s, go running biking and hiking which we do ourselves.

What makes this property unique

what makes us unique??? I think you have the best of both worlds. Privacy your own private unit but safety and security that we are on the property as well. Safe wonderful neighborhood but we are here. I think this gives guests a peace of mind especially when not familiar to the area. We are also centrally located. You are never more than 15 mins away from everything Louisville
