Super clean and organized accommodation, in a lovely area. The design is amazing, the shower outstanding, beds and pillows are really comfortable. This was the perfect place to enjoy a long weekend in Louisville - the location was a few minutes from so many fun restaurants, and distilleries, and especially the Conrad/Caldwell House Museum (just steps from the front door) stay here for a laid back vibe and experience historic old Louisville in all it's glory.
This flat is so lovely! It’s clean, comfortable and convenient. We loved having this as our home base while we explored the cool city of Louisville. We would definitely choose this vrbo again for our next trip to Louisville.
The flat is located in a perfect spot - very walkable if you don’t mind walking places (we love to walk!). We stayed here while doing parts of the bourbon trail and it was great. The hosts we’re great and communication was easy! Cute place.
We loved everything about this flat! It's very well-appointed, and perfect for couples. The quaint, lovely neighborhood offers the perfect getaway spot for those visiting Louisville. The owners thought of all the extra details to make us comfortable away from home.
If you’re looking for a home full of character, charm, clean and well decorated… this is the place for you. Zero complaints and the location and neighborhood were great! I’d definitely stay here again.
If you love historic districts in cities, this apartment is for you. It is well-appointed and conveniently located to many Louisville attractions. It is especially great if you want to be near the University of Louisville or the downtown distilleries. For us it was a great location to visit relatives off Bardstown Road and in Southern Indiana.
The location for our Bourbon weekend was terrific.
The House Flat is very clean, and modern with a great overlook.
The 2nd Floor Flat is in a good location.
Cool space, perfect location across from the park. Comfortable beds and furniture, nicely-stocked kitchen. Quiet and private. Izzy and Nerissa were very responsive and great to talk to—nice recommendations and overall perfect hosts.
And their Oh My Lollies frozen fruit pops are delicious, if you get a chance to try them!
This place gets 5 stars! Perfect location, loved the little park across the street and exploring the historic homes in the area. The house is very pretty inside and has a beautiful little garden in the backyard. Enjoyed watching the birds and sunset from the balcony.
My husband and I stayed at this beautiful home in Old Louisville. We were able to walk to many establishments and the historic homes in the area are simply amazing. The house is wonderfully decorated. A perfect 10
We could not have found a better place to stay.It’s a home, appointed with Beautiful art and decor. You could walk in off the street and have everything you need. Complete with a peacefully landscaped back yard and privacy fence, The owners were extremely easy to communicate with And very passionate about their neighborhood and city. The unit is so full of charm in an historic setting. We loved it.
This was a really lovely flat in the Old Louisville area.
It had a warm, welcoming and comfortable vibe. It was well decorated and equipped with everything needed to make for a nice stay.
The host was good about reaching out with helpful info and clear communication.
It was a wonderful place to have as our base to explore Louisville!
We had a wonderful time at this property during our stay. It's homey, comfortable, and in a gorgeous neighborhood.
The hosts were communicative and gracious. They even brought us flowers as a welcoming gift!
Louisville is a charming, beautiful and historic city. The neighborhood is full of gorgeous historic homes. It was safe to walk in, quiet, but felt right in the middle of it all.
This was our first trip to Louisville but I'm sure it won't be our last. We would definitely pick this property again on a future visit.
I had a wonderful stay in this house. I’m a single lady, and I felt safe in this location. It’s centrally located in beautiful Old Louisville, and you can easily walk to restaurants or just stroll the streets and enjoy the gorgeous homes. I really appreciated the black out curtains in the bedroom because there was a lot of ambient light at night from the street. The kitchen was very convenient, and the bathroom was clean and beautiful. I will definitely plan a return visit.
My friend and I had a fabulous stay in this adorable Old Louisville flat. I seriously think the hosts have thought of everything a guest could possibly want; I love the details! Communication was top-notch, personalized, thorough and timely. Self-check-in was clear and simple. The neighborhood was lovely, and we felt completely safe at all times. (important to me as two women traveling) The decor was inviting, and the furnishings comfortable. Having coffee at the ready was fabulous! It is so obvious that these wonderful hosts take great care and pride in providing an exceptional experience for their guests. If I'm ever in Louisville again, this is where I will stay, without a doubt. Thank you ladies!
I can’t say enough good things about this property. It’s spacious, beautifully decorated, thoughtfully equipped, and has little touches (like great soaps, and coffee, etc.) that make it a five star experience. The hot water in the renovated shower? Soooo good.
It feels like you’re staying in the best suite of a fancy bed and breakfast but with the privacy of it being your own space.
The neighborhood is all vintage homes and across the street from a nice park. Although there is no designated parking, I had no difficulty finding a spot in front of the space.
Thanks for making such a beautiful space available. It made my trip relaxing and wonderful. Id definitely stay here again.
LOVE this flat! The extra little details really made this a charming rental. We arrived and met Izzy, who was finishing a walk-through to ensure it was ready for us. The lights and accent lamps were on, but dimmed; and the television had some music playing which really set the tone for a fabulous stay. We instantly felt at home. There was ample parking on the street in front of the flat, a huge park across the street helped provide some peace and quiet, and the neighborhood was so interesting to explore. If you are looking for retreat to return to after a long day of walking, shopping, and taking in the sites of Louisville…THIS is your place. This flat is very well decorated, full of historic charm and character. It has a well-stocked kitchen including a Keurig (which we used every morning), a white noise machine in the bedroom (you are in the flight path of the nearby airport), comfy bedding, an eclectic collection of books throughout, umbrellas by the front door (thank goodness because it rained the entire time we were there) and even bathroom essentials. We enjoyed walking through the neighborhood, down Belgravia Court, looking at all the historic homes (breathtaking) on our way to The Old Louisville Tavern. Popular sites are only a short drive away. We would definitely rent this property again and will recommend it to friends.
The apartment is old and charming. Plenty spacious. AC works great. The coffee maker works. The shower is basically brand new. Good water pressure and gets hot fast. Great water pressure in the kitchen sink too. The place doesn't feel like it has been designed by a conglomerate and that's nice. The location is excellent. It's a fairly short walk to the downtown area of the city and there's a couple of good coffee spots near by that are maybe a five minute walk away. Bus stop is right around the corner too. The umbrella came in super clutch one day. Street parking is not a problem near by. Very good place. Will try to stay again next time I find myself in Louisville.
I had a great time staying at this property, which was well-situated for my needs, well-furnished and clean. I'm an anxious traveller and so particularly appreciated how easy it was to communicate with the hosts, who were very responsive and keen to help. Will certainly stay here again if I need to return to Louisville!
Had a wonderful stay right across from a gorgeous park. The he was beautifully decorated and the hosts added a lot of extra touches. I would highly recommend
