Wonderful stay - excellent communication. Our multigenerational family enjoyed the large bedrooms, ample shared space and excellent off street parking. We fit a mini van, SUV, and a car in the garage. Walking distance to everything important in the area. Communication with the host was unparalleled, can’t wait to stay here again!
Wow! Beautiful property with lots of well designed space, high end appliances, great artwork, high ceilings and plenty of skylights. Even better than the pictures! Walking distance to Whiskey Row, Louisville Slugger, NULU, and more. Great host, very responsive and accommodating.
Great time in Louisville. The property was very large and we have several rooms to congregate. Could have used a couple of more beds for the size of the property, so no one has to sleep on couch/futons.
We visited Louisville to experience Churchill Downs and Bourbon! We were highly successful at both objectives. Our stay at this excellent, comfortable home made the trip even more special. The space is magnificent and very comfortable! A major plus is the excellent location! We parked our car in the attached garage and walked everywhere with the exception of Churchill Downs which we visited after we landed on Friday our Bourbon tour on Saturday where we hired a driver/guide. The location was great for visiting other Bourbon places in downtown Louisville as well as visiting some great restaurants close by. We all highly recommend this great space! Anyone who has the pleasure of staying here will thoroughly be delighted!!
Great place. Attentive host. Had a blast at this location! Near perfect place for our trip.Some minor comments meant for improvement.Confused by advertisement of 4 bedrooms when really only three bedrooms.Need to assure coffee situation before check-in. One coffee maker lacked its coffee pot. The other coffee maker still had spent grounds in its top section.Could use more hand towels in kitchen and wash clothes in bathrooms. One bedroom tv lacked control of volume.Overall, I would recommend this location with high enthusiasm and with a few slight improvements would be perfect!
Everything about this stay was above excellence. Our host was always available, quick to respond, and very accommodating. My husband and I were traveling with our daughters and some of their teammates for a tournament and this property was absolutely perfect. There was plenty of space, the beds were comfortable, everything was clean and we loved the decor. I loved that we could park in the garage at night too. The neighborhood was quiet both morning and night with local places to dine within walking distance. I know we got an absolute deal when we booked but would Love to stay here again in the future should we travel back next year with our team. Thank you so much for everything you did to make our stay comfortable.
