Kentucky Derby gem

We visited Louisville for a family getaway. Robert’s place was literally steps away from Churchill Downs. Place was clean and ready on time. It was the perfect place for our family of four. Easy to get downtown and to all local attractions. Would definitely recommend.

My friends and I had a wonderful time during our trip to Kentucky! This place was exactly what we needed, and as much fun as we had around the city, we were always very eager and grateful to get back to home base (and to, frankly, one of the comfiest blankets I've ever used in my life). There was some confusion during check-in, but the host was very helpful and responded promptly despite us checking in quite late, which I appreciate a lot.The only thing I would note for more sound-sensitive guests would be that sound travels, both in the house and from the road outside, but it never bothered us during our stay. We would definitely come back again!
