We enjoyed our stay at Whirlaway Loft. The location is great. It's a short walk to Old Forester and Repeal and just a little further to Louisville Slugger and the Frazier Museum. Parking is really convenient. The building is older, so there were a few small issues encountered. Sean was extremely responsive, though. The interior is clean and the decorations were nice. It took us a minute to get used to no ceilings separating rooms. Would stay here again for convenience.

Great stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the loft. Nice, secure location. Only drawback is some noise from next-door unit guests. That is not a deal-breaker. Will stay again if we return to Louisville.

This loft is the perfect location for those coming to Louisville to experience the truly diverse vibe. Our VRBO was in the heart of so many dining, drinking and entertainment options within walking range. At the same time, a building and courtyard in front of our loft added great noise insulation. Very convenient parking is available at no cost. The loft itself is very welcoming and comfortable. Everything needed is there and the beds are comfy (especially after a guided bourbon tour). Our host was exceptional in his communications and support. This stay earns 20 stars on a 10-point scale!!!
