GETTING AROUND

The neighborhood is walkable, with restaurants, bars and shops within a few blocks. Rentable scooters are available in the area. Lyft and Uber can get you almost anywhere in Louisville for $25 or less at normal rates — expect higher rates during Derby weekend.

Consistently Excellent - returning customer

I am a returning customer, having stayed at one of the Bourbon Rentals residences three times since September, and I am back in a month for my fourth stay. That is testament to the consistent quality of the service from Brandon and Kayla at Bourbon Rentals. Each time, they have been welcoming, organized, quick to respond and they go out of their way to ensure each stay is as comfortable as possible. In a word, professional. I highly recommend Bourbon Rentals. 10/10.
