A gorgous home - bedrooms with sitting areas, 2 staircases, well appointed and very comfortable beds! Street parking was very easy and always had a spot next to the house.
The location to Churchhill Downs is excellent. Was able to an Uber and was there in minutes. Neighborhood was nice and clean also. Nice local bar one block away with excellent food and service (Old Louisville Tavern). The property was very clean and had all the amenities that was listed. We had 2 dogs and plenty of room for both. All the bedrooms had their own TV if you wanted to just relax in your room. A Keurig and drip coffee maker were both furnished with k-pods and coffee also. Although it is located on a somewhat busy street, the house is well insulated and noise level was minimum. Would definitely stay here again and Kapil was very easy to work with.
Our group stayed here from June 26–29, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice! From the moment we arrived, the house felt welcoming, comfortable, and like a home away from home. It was spotless, well-equipped, and had plenty of room for everyone to relax after our days exploring Louisville.The location was absolutely perfect! Everything was conveniently close, making it easy to enjoy everything Louisville has to offer without spending our vacation sitting in traffic.One of our favorite parts of the trip was coming back to the house each evening to unwind, share a drink, and laugh about the day's adventures. The home had everything we needed and made our stay even more memorable.If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and perfectly located place to experience Louisville, look no further. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
