We had a great time in Louisville with the location working out great for us. Wonderful restaurants in walking distance Bar Vetti, Mesh Mesh, and La Bogeguita were amazing. Close to tasting rooms and distilleries. We had the hot water go out and our host was quick to create options and solutions. The place has an industrial loft feel and was clean and comfortable.

This loft was in a really great location, and had everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Very practical, but keep in mind there isn't much privacy if you have both rooms occupied, and the noise carries through the walls, so just something to be aware of. Overall, a very comfortable and nice stay.

Great location and nice place. Needs some “tlc” at this point (several light bulbs didn’t work, pull-out couch is broken, things of that such) but we enjoyed our stay and the location.

The property was nice, but we wouldn't stay there again. Location is convenient but not as centrally located as the description would suggest. The entrance is very strange as you have to travel down 2 long hallways. There is a lot of deferred maintenance that distracts from the stay, including a broken mirror door in one bedroom. Our major complaints include the excessive noise from the adjoining property due to the apparent lack of insulation between the properties, the open ceiling above the bedroom which exposed us to excessive noise from the air handler, small size of the second bedroom, and the lack of any place to put luggage except the floor in that same bedroom. Beds were comfortable but very low to the ground.

The loft is a cool space and had all the amenities and comforts listed. Beds were super comfortable with clean fresh cozy bedding. The location is within walking distance to the Yum center, Jimmy John’s, wild eggs and the riverfront area. I’d recommend arriving in the daylight as the building entrance was hard to spot and the hallways felt a bit dark arriving alone at night.

Probably not for us again.Pros:Very clean and TidyGood parking in garage a few doors down, although we were warned not to leave anything of value in the car. Located close to some ammenities, (but a bit of a walk to NULU and Whiskey Row)Easy folks to deal withCons:Not the best neighborhood...but not horrible either. Lots of homeless at night, but never felt too unsafe as male. You have to enter a building and walk a long maze through multiple locked doors and narrow hallways to get to the loft, which makes it difficult to carry in and out any heavy luggage or purchased bottles. I have no clue how you would ever make it out of that maze if there was ever a fire...so just know its a bit of a walk through narrow dimly lit hallways.The place is just plain noisy. First you have an open loft concept with no ceilings in any of the rooms except the bathrooms, so you will see any light and hear everything across the entire loft. You also hear every conversation next door to the loft, everyone that walks down the alley, every garbage truck and loud car at 3am, every airplane and helicopter, and an AC unit that is the equivilent to a jet engine. So if noise doesnt bother you, then you are fine. If you are a light sleeper, its probably not for you.I also thought loft was a bit over priced, and I was especially annoyed at having to pay 100% up front.There were also a few maintenance issues....nothing horrible, but based on other reviews, the issues have been there a while
