We offer paid onsite parking to guests for $15/night. You'll have access to the secure garage directly underneath the building, where you can access the building and take the elevator directly to your floor!
If you've paid for onsite parking, instructions will be included in the check-in instructions in your personalized Boarding Pass.
The Clay Commons Parking Garage at 350 W Chestnut St is another parking option adjacent to the building for $25/night, but there are plenty of other garages or paid street parking in the area.

Amazing and clean. Rustic concrete floors. Ho awesome and responsive. A bit of a challenge making your way in the building, finding the key fob and making your way to the apartment. The photos upon check in were an enormous help
Great location!! Tip-If you have a car buy the parking in the listing before hand and read the instructions for parking. Thanks for the cups, great touch!
Everything worked out great. I needed to contact the host a couple of times, and he replied within minutes each time and handled by questions right away. That was great!
Great location. Great communication. We had a great time staying here. There were needs for repair cosmetic and functional repairs that contributed to my rating.
We had a great weekend away. Location was excellent to what we had planned. Walking distance to many things we enjoyed. Would definitely stay here again.
Clean cozy apartment in a beautiful historic building, will totally stay again next time were in town! Super convenient location can walk anywhere downtown. Communication with host was great. We used underground onsite parking which was convenient, however not really meant for a full sized truck :)

Thank you, Jen! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay in our cozy apartment and appreciated the historic charm. Your feedback on the parking is valuable, and we look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!
The apartment was just as advertised! Check in is simple is you follow instructions. Location was great. Will definitely look to stay here again next time I’m back in Louisville!
This was a great nights sleep. The bed was big and comfortable and the blackout curtain was amazing! The shower had basic supplies, hot water and good pressure. Coffee was also provided.
