Added Note: This property is conveniently located near the airport and the UPS Worldport Facility. On occasion — usually due to weather or air traffic changes — flight paths may shift temporarily, causing planes to pass overhead during the day or night. This is not the typical flight pattern and usually only lasts for a day or so. If this happens during your stay, you may wish to use a white noise app for sleeping comfort. Earplugs are also provided for your convenience. Other Details to Note: Please use the backyard and grill all you want. Please also clean the grill after use. No digging by dogs, please. If you are accompanied by your pets, you are responsible for cleaning up all pet waste in the yard. Please place in a baggie and into the black trash bin located in the alley just behind the house. Any fee charged by the lawn service for your pet waste removal will be passed along to you. IMPORTANT: The rear entrance/exit to the house does NOT have a handrail due to some updates coming in the spring. If you or someone in your group relies on a handrail to ascend/descend steps, please do not use this door. You can access the backyard through the side gate. Please also be very careful on the back patio. It has some cracks and is uneven which can make it hard to navigate for some. There is also a drain that, if covered by leaves, may be hard to see and can be a tripping hazard. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - No lift - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,100 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71600000/71597800/71597752/02b26183.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Private Bungalow with EV Charger Near Downtown Louisville Highlands - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 99 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=71597752&PinnedHotelID=71597752&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71560000/71555100/71555046/f5a4b81d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Close to Everything in Louisville!!!
