I live in louisville and I don’t usually go to this part of louisville but this house was in a great location and very quiet neighborhood. It’s right beside church hill downs so would be perfect for Derby. We stayed to be closer to the UofL stadium and it was only a 8 min drive ! Highly recommend. Very clean and beautiful place !
