Myself and three friends came into town for the Bourbon & Beyond Festival and this was the perfect house for our long weekend stay. The neighborhood felt safe, street parking was easy, Ubers were so quick and not too pricey. On top of all that, Elle was so great and always quick to respond. We loved our little weekend home.

We’re so glad you guys enjoyed your stay!! Thank you for the great review. Come back anytime!
We stayed at this property for the Kentucky Derby. Great location for a trip to Churchill Downs or University of Louisville. Cute welcoming house and owners.
We stayed at this property during the Kentucky Derby and sadly, the property had many issues. First, there were no locks on any of the windows on the first floor and the storm windows would not move down to lock. This presented a safety issue leaving any valuables in the property when we were not there. Additionally, the window shades were old and had several holes in them, allowing anyone on the outside to view the interior of the property. The bathroom tub was filthy and not cleaned, the doorknob was broken and kept falling off, and the remaining areas of the bathroom were dirty. The refrigerator was set to a low setting and leaked water all over our food. It wasn’t until we realized the low setting that did not keep our food/drinks at the proper temperature for the water issue reason. The list goes on and on. I would not recommend this property, especially for the price we paid for a 2-night stay. Extremely overpriced for the quality of the property. I understand demand is high for the Derby, and at least clean the property in preparation for the rental. And, please, get some locks on the windows!

I am so sorry to hear that you had so many issues during your stay. If you would have reached out during it, I would have been happy to address what I could at the time. The house is 100 years old so it will have its quirks no matter how much elbow grease is put into it. But thank you for your feedback. We will implement your suggestions for future guests.
