    This is a classic house with just enough charm and moxie to be Louisville-centric! Fast wifi. Great location on a corner lot. Could use just a bit of surface dusting, and it would be nice to open the windows in the bedrooms.

    First of all the pictures on line do not resemble the property. The property is old and it only has one shower. We had a very bad experience. When we first checked in, the 3rd floor temperature was at 85. We turned on the air conditioner and it went up to 89 horrible. We called the host, he sent the technician to fix it. The room continued to be hot all night until the morning. The 2nd floor was warm as well. The back door and storm door to the backyard closed but they wouldn't lock. The alarm in the front door went off early morning. Sheriff were next door looking for some juveniles. I don't recommend this place to anybody especially family with young children or teenager. A big safety concern for us. The host refused to refund us the money for the days we booked. Only stayed one night, had booked the place for 7 days. Reach out to VRBO explained to them our safety concerns. They said they tried to convience the host to give us back a refund for the days we had booked. The host refused. VRBO couldn't do anything about it. The host lied to VRBO regarding our safety concerns. No credibility. Book at your own risk. I'm writing this review because I wouldn't want anybody to go through what we went through very horrible experience especially when you are travelling with teenage girls.

    The AC couldn’t keep up with the heat. Maybe this is normal. However being from Minnesota having a house be in the upper 70s at night was miserable for us. The very upper level bedrooms stayed cool, luckily half of the orgjnal group didn’t come so the hot bedrooms were used very little. Also the master bath is a tub not a shower. So functional bathrooms with a shower are one.

    Came to Louisville for a friends trip to finally do a bourbon tour and check out Churchill Downs. The house is in a very cool historic looking neighborhood and walkable to some fun bars and restaurants. It's also very close drive to everything else. We did downtown, Churchill Downs and even the airport was close to get to. The host was also very nice via messages and we had no issues. We look forward to visiting again one day it was a very fun city!

    My family and I rented this place to make Thanksgiving, traveling from 4 different directions, Louisville was centrally located and reasonably priced. The property is an older home, which the owner is slowly fixing up. It has charming little details, but many provide hiding places for dust. The kitchen was fairly adequate and stocked with most of what we needed for 4 days of family meals. The property could use another trash bin,a s we more than filed the one provided. Parking was on the street, but was never an issue. Manager was easy to deal with.

    Visited Louisville for guys weekend of bourbon trail, golf, and music. This house is surprisingly big with 5 bedrooms, has a lot of character, minutes from downtown/4th St, and easy access to highway. The screened back porch was excellent place to hang out in the evenings. There’s a convenient store, pub, and restaurants that are few minutes walk from house. Property manager was accommodating and made experience stress free.

    The house is beautiful & fully stocked. Communication with the host was great! The only improvement would be some of the bedroom floors (esp the corners) could have been cleaner. We would definitely stay here again!
