Would Go Back!

We really liked the esthetics of the place. It was very cute and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was also very nice and we would 100% stay there again! There were some cobwebs and spiders in the ceiling corners, and some of the dishes didn't look clean, so we washed them. Other than those items, we really enjoyed our time and the accommodation.

Amazing Place!

I came out to focus and work on my book. The place was great for that! The upstairs neighbors were a little noisy, but I got used to that quickly. Parking wasn’t the most convenient, but wasn’t the worst. The room was very clean and a lot of hard work, thought and love went into it and it shows! I would absolutely come back and recommend a friend!

Great stay in my old neighborhood!

Was great to travel to Louisville for my brother’s 70th birthday and stay in a lovely home right in the neighborhood where we grew up. The unit is lovely and hosts are onsite and very responsive, and it’s walking distance to restaurants and shops. We’ll be back!

Quaint, comfortable, calm

Was visiting a friend and needed something better than a hotel room. This fit the bill wonderfully. One suggestion is blinds on the two windows in the TV room. It felt a little exposed.

Amazing weekend in Louisville!

My husband and I stayed for the weekend, as we attended the Bourbon and Beyond Festival. The place was super clean and adorable. Great and quiet neighborhood. Stacy recommended plenty of local restaurants and they were all fantastic. I highly recommend staying here, if you are in the area.

Cozy Cottage in a Vibrant Neighborhood

This cottage is perfect for two—comfortable, clean, and sophisticated. It’s located in a very cool neighborhood where you can walk to get coffee, wine, and groceries. A quick drive takes you to the park and creek. We stayed five nights for a local event affected by Hurricane Helene, but hanging out at the cottage made it easy. We drove into town, brought bikes, and cycling around the area was a lot of fun. We were grateful to have such lovely accommodations during our stay.

Louisville

We were staying in Louisville to help our son and family prepare their house. The apartment, while it had minimal supplies, was just what we were looking for. We look for clean and basic accommodations. This suited us well.

Nice

Overall, great stay. Positives: super clean, recently updated, nice appliances, nice neighborhood. Considerations: in a carriage house. Host super nice and very rarely saw but it was a little weird staying in their backyard. Also, it had a new small AC unit in the main area near the couch, but with no central air system, the bedroom remained very warm(we stayed in August). It was hot enough that my husband chose to sleep on the couch in the AC vs the bedroom.

Cute and clean

I was attending a convention at the expo and needed someplace to stay. The host was prompt to respond to any questions I had. It was clean. You can hear the people above you unfortunately it is just the design of the space. Thankfully they were also attending the convention so our schedules were fairly similar. I understand the need to keep the matress protected but the matress cover was very loud and hot since it apparently had a plastic/ vinyl layer. I would suggest looking for an alternative.
