Quiet and clean
Family from MN and MI joined Louisville family for a fantastic four-day stay at this two-level, two full living quarters VRBO. Very quick responses by the hosts. The location is perfect for walking to Paristown Christmas Market, Wiltshire bakery, and many restaurants on Bardstown Road. Nice cooking appliances in the kitchen and gas grill in a welcoming backyard. Will happily return.

Can’t wait to go back to Louisville
Karen & Ken’s place was positively perfect! We had such a great time exploring Louisville for 4 days and were so happy going ‘home’ to such a comfy place each night. We cooked breakfast in the well equipped kitchen one morning - that was a lil bonus! Hopefully next time we visit it will be a bit warmer as we didn’t get to take advantage of the great backyard!

High School Reunion Fun
In Louisville to continue our turning 60 Celebration! Leanne Morgan at KPAC then supper at The Post. Accommodations were convenient and perfect for our group of 5. We played board game and cards for our evening entertainment! One early bird sat out back for morning chat with hubby. Breakfast at Big Bad Breakfast, then attended Walnut Street Baptist Church before heading home. What history! Parking in back was appreciated. Thank You!!!

Great Location
The home was wonderful. Very clean, comfortable and updated. There are actually two separate apartments and kitchens which was great when you have some early and some late risers. The beds and sofa bed were very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting out back on the patio. The location is in a quiet, safe neighborhood. There are restaurants that you can walk to in 5 minutes. Quick Uber to Bardstown and downtown. Highly recommend this home!

Perfect home away from home
We have never been to Louisville before and came to town for a family reunion. We found this property and it looked like the perfect place to stay. When we walked through the doors we were so happy we chose this space! The downstairs was open and airy. The living area and kitchen were great. We loved the decor and it was so clean! The downstairs had a nice master bedroom (which my stepson was happy to take advantage of). The downstairs also had another nice bathroom. My husband, daughter, and I stayed upstairs because it had a queen bed and sleeper sofa so the space was perfect for us! It also had a kitchen and living area and bathroom. Again it was super clean and the decor was so cute! It was the perfect space for us and we loved staying there. The neighborhood has some super cute shops you could easily walk to (a bakery/cafe, record store, vintage shop, taco shop, etc) and the NuLu area is only about a mile or two away (which has so many cute shops and restaurants). It really is a perfect location! We met the property owners as well and they were as nice and as accommodating as can be! Seriously, a really great place to stay if you’re in the area!

Great for two couples
We needed a place to stay in Louisville so we could visit the bourbon trail. The location was just perfect to downtown where we picked up our tours. Well furnished property with plenty of towels, pillows kitchen items. We also were there during some very hot days and even the upstairs was nice and cool. Very clean and great decor. Hosts were very attentive!
