Best Location!!! - Huge Historic Charm - 3BR-3BTH

Summary:
Looking for that perfect house to experience one of the finest neighborhoods for dining, culture, arts, and shopping? Also looking for that fun historic home set up with thoughtfulness and flair? You must visit this charming home located next to historic Hadley Pottery and the 2nd oldest working bowling alley in the nation, Vernon Lanes, at the intersection of Frankfort and Story Avenues in Butchertown! This house is the trendiest spot in the city. Great for couples, families, and groups.

The Space:
This lovely home was built in 1890 and was just remodeled in August 2016. It's located in the Butchertown Neighborhood in Louisville which is one of the most historic and trendy homes in the city. It's located perfectly between the Nulu and Frankfort Ave hot spots. Shopping, dining, culture, distilleries, are all walking distance. It's very close to river front park and perfect for folks visiting events there.

Guest Access:
The entire house is accessible.

The Neighborhood:
One of the oldest neighborhoods in Louisville, Butchertown was established in the early 1800's when German and Irish immigrants settled in east Downtown Louisville along the original Beargrass Creek. While many professions were featured, many of the residents were butchers or somehow worked to support the butchering community. Over the years, Butchertown has seen its fair share of colorful historical events that include the major flood of 1937 and "Bloody Monday" riots of August 1855. Once a community that included both residential and industrial aspects, Butchertown had a sharp decline in its residential population after the 1937 flood. Now, however, the diverse community is seeing a rebirth and is a quickly growing segment of the downtown development. People are relocating to the area and renovating previously neglected grand buildings that date back over 100 years. Shopping, dining, nightlife, and art have found a strong foothold in the community as well.
Also, a great deal of literature on Butchertown and it's history can be found in local bookstores. The annual Butchertown Art Fair and Home Tour in the Spring and the well-known Oktoberfest in the Fall are staples of Louisville's event calendar.

Getting Around:
Drive, Walk, or Bike anywhere you need.

Other Things to Note:
You can park out front on the street but we recommend parking at Vernon Lanes.

Interaction with Guests:
Call, text, or contact me through AirBNB at anytime.

Beats a Motel
The accommodations were adequate but could be updated. The layout was definitely unique as it appeared that the owners made changes over the years throughout the house. The extra room that the house gave us allowed us to socialize and relax more easily. Bottom line, we enjoyed our stay and it served its purpose.

Where do I begin
So good and bad. The front bedroom and upstairs back bedroom need new mattresses. Unfortunately there’s nothing you can do about the street noise. We were close to the entrance of an interstate so constant traffic at all hours of the night. The great part of it was Vernon Lanes. It was our go to at night for great drinks and great bar food. Not much hot water in the guest bathroom near the laundry room shower never really got hot. Bathroom off of living room really should only be considered a half bath.

Music Festival
My family and I came into town from northern Illinois for a 4 day music festival. This place was exactly what we needed, nice area close to everything. I’ve had to reach out to the property manager multiple times (because of my mistakes) and the communication has been great. As far as the property itself it was perfect plenty of room for me and my family. It was very clean and neat when we arrived, you can tell it’s well taken care of. If we’re ever back in the area again for another event this is the first place I’d look into booking. I’d definitely recommend staying here!!!

Louisville House
There was a load of wet towels in the dryer upon our arrival. Remote control in front upstairs bedroom is broken. Only three coffee mugs for 6 people. Pillow in upstairs back bedroom was smelly, needed additional blankets. The white covering on box springs were all stained and riped. I prefer white sheets on beds. We liked the location. Decor was eclectic and fun. Bathrooms were great.

Nice property, incorrect listing and lack of follow through
The property is nice, however, it listed an extra bed available that it did not have (only 3 queens when listed 3 queens and a twin). I contacted the host and they offered to provide a partial refund for the error and provide an air mattress. The air mattress worked, but they have not provided the partial refund and it has been almost two weeks.

Great weekend
We came for the weekend to celebrate my father-in-laws birthday and really enjoyed this house. Very clean, nice rooms and nice linens. The traffic noise is a lot, as it’s a busy street, so maybe bring earplugs if that bothers you. Also, we are a tall bunch of people, and several of the light fixtures and doorways are short due to the age of the house, so be cautious if you are over 6ft tall.

Great Location
The third bath was not usable due to leaky pipes. The beds were very squeaky, and they needed newer pillows and more blankets. The downstairs bath and the kitchen sink were dirty. Also the downstairs shower head leaks, so water pressure was lacking.

Cute House
Location was great for proximity to the distilleries and the highway. The traffic could be heard at times but not too bad. There are 2 baths and 1 bedroom downstairs, and 2 bedrooms and 1 bath upstairs. The bowling alley at the corner was fun to visit. The owners are very quick with responses. Would definitely stay here again.

Butchertown stay
As soon as we opened the car door, my (adult) son said, ‘it stinks’ and it did smell bad at times. The furniture in the living room isn’t very comfortable. Street noise was a problem until midnight. However, the beds were clean & comfy and the showers good. We enjoyed our stay there!

Fun place to stay
We had a good stay at Story Ave! Fun and quirky decor. We enjoyed the record player (and left a couple old favorite Christmas albums that we found at a thrift store). The house was well-stocked with towels, bedding, cooking pans and utensils, etc. We visited the pottery shop across the street and picked up some Christmas ornaments. We also saw a play at Derby Dinner Playhouse, which is 5 minutes away across the bridge. The bowling alley parking lot was closed, so we parked in the street. It's a bit tricky crossing the street because the traffic comes around the corner at quite a speed. Info for those who, like me, have mobility issues: there are several steps up from the street, and a few more to get into the house. There is one bedroom downstairs, and two bathrooms, although one of them is down a couple steps.
