The neighborhood is walkable, with restaurants, bars and shops within a few blocks. Rentable scooters are available in the area. Lyft and Uber can get you almost anywhere in Louisville for $25 or less at normal rates — expect higher rates during Derby weekend.

This was our second stay at this property. It’s location provided easy access to nearby retailers and to the parking areas for the Derby. It also offered off-street parking and a quiet neighborhood.
We had a wonderful stay at this location. I look forward to returning next year. This location was convenience for our needs.

Consistently Excellent - returning customer
I am a returning customer, having stayed at one of the Bourbon Rentals residences three times since September, and I am back in a month for my fourth stay. That is testament to the consistent quality of the service from Brandon and Kayla at Bourbon Rentals. Each time, they have been welcoming, organized, quick to respond and they go out of their way to ensure each stay is as comfortable as possible. In a word, professional. I highly recommend Bourbon Rentals. 10/10.
We stay in Louisville at least twice a year to visit my wife's daughter. We love this neighborhood and it's proximity to Bardstown Rd. The stairs to get to this 2nd floor duplex is kind of a drag when we were moving in but otherwise I liked the vantage point.
We only used one bedroom and we liked the centrally located dining room (with covered poker table as our table), the comfortable living room with TV and the kitchen with a small kitchen table. The entire place was roomy and comfortable.
A couple of negative things - the whole place need a good vacuuming and a couple of the blinds in the living room need repair.
We will definitely try to stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay during Derby Weekend. The home was in a wonderful neighborhood with walkable coffee shops, bars, and restaurants. Transportation to downtown and Churchill Downs was a breeze.

Perfect stay in Louisville!
I loved my stay! The house is so cute and so clean, and the location could not be better! Very safe and so close to so many parks and restaurants. I would highly recommend this site to anyone staying in Louisville!
Nice little upstairs unit! Clean, great neighborhood centrally located with plenty of food choices within walking distance. Communication with host was always handled punctually. Would definitely stay here again.
Description and photos of the property are exactly as presented. The rental is located on a residential street in a very attractive neighborhood. The area has great restaurants located in very close proximity to the property.
This property is in a beautiful, safe area of Louisville. It’s walking distance to a ton of things and a short Uber ride to others. Communication was with the owner was great! Very clean. Would definitely come back!
Debre Haile St. Gabriel Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church
Great place to stay if you are planning to come for Tsebel at Debre Haile St. Gabriel Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Only about 7 minute drive to the Church.
My husband, son, and I had a wonderful stay here while up to visit our daughter who is a student at U of L. This is a fantastic space with everything you need in our favorite Louisville neighborhood! Great food just two blocks away, plus fun shopping, coffee, more restaurants, and much more just down the street. There’s also a Kroger less than 5 minutes away. We’ll definitely be back for a repeat stay!
My daughter and I drove down to spend a weekend with my son, who is a student at the University of Louisville. We chose this place based on the location and the photos provided. Everything was exactly as we’d hoped it would be. The apartment was clean and all the amenities listed were present as expected. We were within walking distance of A cute little neighborhood coffee shop, stores, and many restaurants. The neighborhood is adorably charming filled with friendly people. It was a very enjoyable stay and we will for sure consider this rental again.
