Germantown is one of Louisville’s oldest areas, with an original shop, bar, or restaurant on nearly every corner. A wave of restoration and renovation has created a mix of old and new, maintaining history while welcoming hip new eateries and bars.
Most locations downtown are within a $5- $8 Uber/Lyft ride. Bus transportation (TARC) pick-up is directly across the street. Bike rental around the city can be arranged at your convenience for an extra charge. There is also a free electric shuttle called LouLift. You can visit Louisville TARC's home page to see a copy of the LouLift schedule. I have not used it yet myself so if you check it out, let me know!
The house is equipped with Blink security cameras at the front and back doors.
