Beautiful little place in a perfect location within perfect walking and very cheap Uber distance from so many good places to eat and shop as well as the venue for what we were in town for. Our host was kind enough to wait up for us with the keys and meet us at the door with them. Lovely little oasis away from the heat!

Cozy old-timey, great location

This was a really beautiful little place. Historic feel, huge windows, really cozy, and super comfortable bed. I was in town for a conference and it was such a lovely place to come home to. And Cheryl was very kind and smooth communication. Will definitely be staying here again!

Cheryl’s home was just as it appears online. We found it clean and comfortable with free parking on the street directly in front of the house. A great spot for us to stay during a long weekend exploring Louisville.

We stayed for a week in Louisville and our accommodations were exactly as described in the listing. There is sufficient counter space to prepare meals. Anything you could need if forgotten, was in the bathroom. We looked forward to a good night’s sleep after busy days. We had no problem finding street parking in front of the property at any point in a given day. You can easily navigate to downtown or jump on I-65 to do other things in Louisville proper. The property had immense charm, and the beautifully spacious backyard was an added perk. The neighborhood has wonderful history and architecture. There were plenty of friendly people out for a walk with their dog or riding their bike. There are a few local eats and a grocery store nearby. Our host was great with communication and was eager to provide us a welcome stay.

Charming and clean

Very cute and nicely decorated 1 bedroom apartment. It has to be one of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed. Cheryl had everything we needed and it was very easy to get around either on foot or by Uber. Would recommend!

Vacation Stay/Distillery Tours

The inside was clean and comfortable. We had access to the backyard from our unit and it was very nice and peaceful. We were gone during the day, but perfect for late afternoon drinks and early morning coffee. The location, while an older part of Louisville, was very convenient to the freeways and travel to surrounding areas.

Beautiful in Old Town Setting

Beautifully restored home from the 1800’s, now as Vrbo apartments. A private courtyard behind the house was a perfect spot to listen to the city at night. The house manager, Cheryl, was informative of the neighborhood and very kind with tourist ideas and hot spots. We had a great weekend!

Best Louisville Experience

Wow! First of all, I would love to thank Cheryl for being the most hospitable host for our 5 days spent in her apartment. From allowing me to ship my goods to her place prior to arriving, to all the amenities that were inside once we opened the door. We could not have asked for a better place to be. Here are the details: We stayed here over Derby weekend, so we were in and out A LOT. The location of the apartment was completely central (about a $10 Uber ride) to Churchill Downs, the airport, downtown and Bardstown. We also found the apartment stocked with drinks, snacks, toiletries, hair dryer and a very comfortable bed (which we kind of just fell into after being out all day), which made it very convenient as well. Cheryl made sure to let us know to look around if we needed anything, which made us feel extremely comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet and made for great sightseeing. I would absolutely stay here again if we come back to Louisville because I know we would be taken care of. :)

BEAUTIFUL VICTORIAN HOME

Thank you for sharing your home with us. This area of Louisville is spectacular for walking and appreciating the homes of the era. Delightful surprise for us. Also a quick 10 minute drive to great restaurants and shopping. The apartment was spotless with a clean fresh scent and well appointed. As a side note the bath towels were the best I have encountered!! Coffee and water provided on your arrival. I would highly recommend this home.

Lovely place to stay in Old Louisville

This was a lovely place to stay for my first trip to Louisville! The rental was so cute and clean, perfect for relaxing after a long day exploring exploring Louisville. My room had access to the garden, which was the perfect place to enjoy the nice spring weather. Old Louisville is a great location--very much enjoyed walking around the neighborhood looking at all of the Victorian architecture. The rental is perfectly located to drive to Downtown as well Bardstown Rd and NULU (you will need a car but there is plenty of street parking--I never had a problem finding a spot just outside of the house). Felt safe as a single women traveler and will recommend to my friends.

Enjoyed our stay

This was the perfect place for our derby weekend. The bed was amazing to fall into after two long days at Churchill. I actually missed it when I got home and realized I might need some new pillows at the very least. We had plenty of space to fulfill our needs and were very comfortable. Our host Cheryl was very welcoming, communicative, and even lent me some superglue to fix an earring emergency. 😊 Easy access to Churchill and other sites.

Beats a hotel

Lovely little apartment in beautiful building and beautiful neighborhood. Amazingly quiet. I was nervous about the street parking, but it was ample. I was in and out several times and always had "my" same spot directly across the street from the house. Cheryl was very helpful at check-in. Apartment was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. HIghly recommend!

Old Town Charm

This property is located in old Louisville and is full of old town charm. It is the perfect place for a weekend get away. The apartment is delightful and the pictures presented are a true representation. The garden is perfect for breakfast and is also wonderful for relaxing in the evenings and listening to the birds and cicadas or just letting your mind wonder as the neighborhood is pleasantly quiet. The surrounding area is full of beautiful old homes. St. James Court and its fountain are within walking distance as is Central Park. Cheryl, who lives on the bottom floor, is a wonderful hostess. She is extremely helpful if you need ideas for things to do or places to dine. She's just a message away and is very quick to respond if you need anything at all and definitely goes out of her way to make sure your stay is enjoyable. We really enjoyed our time here and look forward to staying again in the future.

Beautiful Stay In Old Louisville

Definitely one of the loveliest properties we had stayed in. It’s immaculately decorated and clean and it had all the ammenities one needs for a perfect and comfortable home away from home stay. Loved the backyard garden area. Great location to where I needed to be and only a stones throw away from the airport. Super easy check in and check out process. So pleased to have found it, made my short visit to Louisville just that much better. Will definitely look to return next time I’m in town.
