10 star rating! The loft had everything that you could possibly need. It was spotless, the bed was super comfortable, and the location could not have been any better. Communication with the host was excellent. We went to an event at the KFC Yum Center, and it was a short walk away. We will definitely be back!

We loved out weekend in the loft. Even though it was cold, it was within walking distance of the Seelbach Hotel, where we enjoyed appetizers and drinks. The unit was probably the cleanest we've had with great amenities and comfortable furnishings. The communication and directions provided by Justin were also perfect. When we return to Louisville, we will definitely check the availability for River City Loft first.
