I do love to party but this is a boutique loft with 17 condo owners, most of which are the quiet type.
The neighbors are family and do look out for each other. There is a building noise ordinance of 10 P.M. on weekdays and 11 P.M. on weekends.

We really enjoyed our stay. The overall feel/theme of the loft was very inviting and cozy, and the location was perfect for a night out on 4th street. We loved looking through and playing the records. That was our favorite! Would definitely stay here again!!

Great location

We stayed here for a long weekend and could not have been happier with the property. It was in a great location to do everything downtown as well as to head out to the bourbon trail. Access to the parking garage was an excellent feature. The space was perfect for two people. Very clean and had a comfy couch for watching movies or relaxing. Overall so happy with our stay.

Perfect location AND space!

Cozy, place with an inviting atmosphere the minute you walk in! I felt comfortable and right at home with all the essentials there. I adored the couch and blankets to snuggle with, as well as the amazing selection of vinyls to play on the record player! The secured parking garage is also a plus. This is an ideal location and loft design that I would stay at again. Highly recommend!

Comfy Apartment

This is a nicely located apartment and it was so convenient to have parking. We found a good restaurant within walking distance and after having travelled for a few days enjoyed just relaxing in the apartment. Justin did a great job communicating. I would definitely recommend it for a downtown Louisville stay.

About the host

Hosted by Justin Shaw

Host profile image
Welcome! I'm a professional musician and music instructor born and raised here in Louisville. I love traveling, music and a good cocktail. Please don't be afraid to ask for any suggestions on dining, watering holes or night life. Cheers!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this loft in 2008, just as Louisville was starting to revitalize its downtown area. The very first day I walked into the building to check out what was going on, I also met Alice Cooper (yes THE Alice Cooper) a block away who was trying to revive a bat.

What makes this property unique

Centrally located, you are just minutes from almost every major attraction in Louisville. The free parking isn't a bad deal either.
