About this apartment rental
Soak up the sunlight in this 1000sf penthouse of this retired historic 19th-century Butchertown brothel. Blanketed in natural light, this 3rd story Garret has the feel of a sun-bleached tree-top tent, and is ideal for a couple's retreat or a friends' outing. A few of the city’s top restaurants and bars are less than a block walk away. Endless other drinking, shopping, and attractions are nearby in Nulu, Frankfort Ave, and the Waterfront.
The Space:
Thirteen skylights and windows pour light into this large open space. Plants abound. The space is replete with sitting areas; lounge amenities include 5G WiFi, Netflix, Amazon Alexa, and smart lighting. The Crosley is stacked with vinyl. A live-edge bar offers a casual spot to share a drink before a night out, and a bistro table offers a cozy perch for dining in. A queen canopy bed crowns the large bedroom, which is trimmed with plenty of mirrors and a space to get ready for a night out.
Guest Access:
- Street parking can be found all along Story Ave.
- Guests have their own marked stairwell entry on the Frankfort Ave side of the building.
- Electronic lock code for this stairwell entry and the Garret entry will be provided the day before check-in.
- This is a 3rd floor unit with access by stairwell. The Garret can be found at the top of the stairwell, marked with a 4.
- Note that the back courtyard and balcony are to be avoided due to ongoing renovation work.
Worth noting:
This unit has an amazing location, but it is a busy corner. You may occasionally hear traffic, pedestrians, or construction noise, but it is fairly muffled by the apartment's insulation and height above the street - only our visitors from rural areas seem to notice the noise.

I loved this property. Kevin was great at communication and very understanding. Everything was so clean and the decor was so cute. I can’t wait to stay in this building again! I also really loved and enjoyed the natural lighting and the couch was so comfortable!

We really enjoyed our stay. The room looked just as pictured - clean, airy, tastefully furnished, and super cozy. The owner thought of everything - cold drinking water in the fridge, coffee, tea, towels, kitchen towels etc. Everything was exactly as listed and the owner communicated promptly, his direction how to entry etc. were easy to understand and follow. Parking was super easy and free. Commute to Downtown 6 minutes of easy drive. We will definitely book this property again next time we are in town. Thank you , Kevin, for being a thoughtful, kind host with a good taste and great communication skills!

My wife and I stayed at Kevin’s penthouse for our honeymoon, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the design.The earthy style of the penthouse was an incredible touch. my wife absolutely loved the aesthetic, and it created such a warm, calming atmosphere for our first trip as a married couple!Kevin was a fantastic host, ensuring everything was perfect for our special occasion. If you’re looking for a unique, stylish, and comfortable spot in Louisville, this is it. We’ll definitely be back!

The stay was wonderful! We didn't use the kitchen much, but the host provided everything you would need in all the rooms. It was super comfortable, the couch in the living room was perfect. We will definitely stay again.
