    They cancelled our reservation 5 mins before check in due to a leak in bathroom. Why they couldn’t just have it fixed or have us not use one bathroom would have been a better solution. Not responsive up to check in about instructions. We were unhoused 1500 miles away from home and vrbo promised to call us back about relocation and never did. Although refunded, the city was booked up and we had to pay triple the cost at hotels and so much food spoiled we had planned to cook there and cost of eating out. Beyond disappointed

    Traveled to the area to catch a few bourbon tours with 4 couples (8 people). This house was perfect for us. We loved the historic feel and yet it was clean and modernized nicely. We loved walking to the restaurants, coffee shops and bars as well. The house had everything we needed and the owner was awesome to work with.

    This beautiful house was perfect for a visit to Louisville. Close enough to downtown , but far enough away to have a quiet charm. The local eateries were great, and the homey feel made staying there very comfortable. Would stay again!
