Modern, funky, and extra comfy stay right on Bardstown Rd in the heart of the Highlands! Just steps away (literally, not like those others that are actually blocks away!) from numerous restaurants, bars, & shops! This 1905 historic triplex building is brand new from the studs out and ready to give you the relaxing home-away-from-home you are dreaming of for your Lousiville visit!
Colorful and spacious two bedroom upstairs apartment in a triplex building steps from all the Highlands has to offer!
Sound machines provided in both bedrooms: *Bedroom 1: King bed and fun Derby photo wall to capture those memories! *Bedroom 2: Queen bunkbed & work desk. Top bunk has a weight limit of 200lbs.
*Living Room: Comfortable double high auto-air up queen sized air mattress & a plush 5’ x 10’ oversized velvet couch.
*Entertainment: Complete with a Pac-man multi-cade game machine, various board games, and Alexa Echo for those nights in. Smart TV or TV with Firestick in all rooms, personal login required for streaming services.
*Kitchen: Stocked with everything you need to make a home cooked meal. Forget something? Scan the QR code for the Cozy Corner Store to purchase snacks and toiletries!
*Bathroom: Stocked with shower necessities, black rags for removing makeup, a hair dryer, curling iron, and straightener.
*Washer and dryer in unit, with laundry supplies under the vanity.
Other Details to Note: *Noise/Foot traffic: We are best suited for those who want to adventure and take advantage of the location, not those looking for a quiet night on a weekend. Being so close to everything, the house is located on a busy street with a lot of people passing by. Sound machines are provided in each bedroom. You will likely hear some of the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood throughout your stay in the unit and may come across some locals on your walks to tour the town. On weekend nights you will hear cars and people outside, but that is the tradeoff for being in the heart of all the action!
*Free street parking. 2 car driveway shared between 2 units first come first serve- please do not park behind another car in the driveway unless it belongs to someone in your party! You may be towed otherwise. On weekends in the late afternoon/evenings street parking may sometimes be full right outside the building. However, there is ample street parking around the block. While you are not supposed to, my family and I parked for a year with no issues in the triangle marked area by the telephone pole and dumpster (we are not responsible if you get hit or towed).
*Stays of 1 week or more- will require deep clean, total cleaning fee will be $180.
*Early Check-in: Early check-in at 1pm may be available in certain situations upon request. The early check-in fee is $40.
*Guests: Only the number of guests stated in your reservation are allowed to be at or in the property at any time without express written approval of property owner. If you exceed the number of guests you book for, there will be a $100 fine per person per night. No parties or gatherings. Noise monitors inside house. Violations will be met with applicable fines & eviction.
*Pets: If you are bringing your fur child, there is a $150 pet fee. No cats. Please be sure to read Pet Rules and state your agreement to Host at the time of booking.
*Starter supplies of toiletries are provided. However if you are here for a longer stay, you will likely need to make a short trip to the grocery to replenish some things, like paper products.
Neighborhood: Take a stroll down Bardstown Rd and bask in the vibrant culture and artwork of the Highlands. Grab some American favorites from Ditto's, have a beer at Highlands Tap Room, shop trendy styles at Pitaya, chow down on Cajun from J.Gumbo's or Korean BBQ from GOGi 1055, sip a stiff cocktail from Neat, dance the night away at The Hub or Atomic, or many other options- and that's only within the first 600 feet out your door!
*3 min Cherokee Park (beautiful with lots of walking trails) & Cherokee Golf Course *11 min KFC Yum! Center & Kentucky International Convention Center *12 min Louisville International Airport SDF *7 min to downtown attractions, NuLu, many distilleries, most Hospitals, Slugger Field, Louisville Palace, & Fourth Street Live *9 min Louisville Zoo *15 min Kentucky Expo Center & Six Flags Kentucky Kingdon * 10 min Louisville Slugger Museum, Kentucky Science Center, Waterfront Park, Big Four Walking Bridge, & Champion's Park *11 min University of Louisville, Kentucky Performing Arts, Seneca Golf Course, & The Galt House *13 min Churchill Downs, Cardinal Stadium, & Mega Cavern *0.5 miles Morton Ave Dog Park & PG&J's Dog Park Bar *0 min Bardstown Rd & Highlands

A Cool Place
This was a nice property with comfortable bed linens and a fun atmosphere. It was within walking distance to many fun places on Bardstown Road, including Carmichael's Bookstore (definitely recommend).

Stayed one night for an event
Our one night stay was great! This townhouse had everything we needed to accommodate our family of all ages. We were very glad that there were sound machines in each room because it is located in a busy area and there was quite a bit of road noise and sirens happening throughout the night. Our only downside was finding parking. This was not the fault of the property owner but be prepared to walk a ways if it’s busy and the spots in front are taken.

Clean, comfortable, great host, amazing location.
From the moment we arrived we knew this place was perfect for our crew's Louder than Life experience. Upon entering, the place was clearly very well taken care of and offered a premium feel. The location is a huge plus. Bardstown road has so much to offer, we stayed for 6 days and we feel like we barely scratched the surface. Everywhere we went had a great atmosphere and even better food. My crew was joking that this place was so perfect that we need to book it in advance every year. We just might!
