As Advertised
This apartment was as advertised. Bedding was wonderful, having 2 baths was wonderful and it was very clean! No major complaints. I did not like the fact that there was very little hot water. Also, the WiFi did not work while we were there, but owner said he would be checking into it.

Perfect for my graduation trip
We traveled to Louisville from Alabama for my graduation ceremony. It was held at the Kentucky International Convention Center and this location was just a short walk to get there. The check in process was very clearly explained and we did not have any trouble finding our way. The property is a beautuful historic building that has been renovated but still holds its original charm. The room itself was very clean and cozy. The location is close enough to downtown for easy access wirhout being in the busy area. The large windows provide a nice view. The bed is extremely comfortable. Basic toiletries and dishes are provided. We had everything we needed and very much enjoyed our stay. The cleaning and check out process was super easy and not much was required of us. We opted in for on site parking as well. It is a private secure garage under the living space. Everything felt very safe and secure. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in Louisville again.

In the heart of downtown Louisville!
Loved the location. Within walking distance to 4th Street, restaurants and numerous music venues. A good walk but walkable to Whiskey Row and the Yum Center.
Communication was very detailed and timely throughout the booking stage thru checking out.

Came up for the weekend to enjoy Louisville and the bourbon trail. You are surrounded by events, restaurants and minutes to Whiskey Row. Great communication with the owner and easy check in/out process. Everything was clean and well stocked, would recommend.

An Oasis in the City
We absolutely loved our stay. The apartment in the classic building - which is seemingly in transition from grand old hotel to new apartments in or condos - was spacious and comfortable, very quiet, and had great views of the downtown skyline. The location is super convenient to all of the downtown attractions and events.
We opted for the parking and it was very convenient, if a bit tight to navigate for a standard sedan. Slightly cheaper is available nearby but the convenience can't be beat.
We're definitely likely to stay again next time we find ourselves in Louisville.

Nice place
In town to visit our daughter, a student at U of L. Convenient location with everything we did within 10 minute drive. It was great having the parking garage right there. The bed was very comfortable! The place had a bit of a "cold" feeling. Just need a better family room rug and a cozy rug in the bedroom.
The only problem was a prom was being held on the second floor and we could totally hear the thumping music for several hours.
