Large home with plenty of space for my parents, my kids and me. Feels very much like staying in someone's home which may or may not be ideal for some people. Leenette is super responsive which was nice. Location was super convenient for all we wanted to do while in Louisville.

The house was beautiful and just as advertised. The location was near everything we had planned to see and do. The mattresses were very firm and the water pressure was amazing in the shower. My only regret is not having time to soak in the tub.

This place is immaculately clean. Ive never seen anywhere this clean. We didnt cook anything involved but the kitchen appeared well stocked. The home is in a quiet nice neighborhood, close to stores, and only 15-20 to the airport. We had a couple of small issues that were attended to swiftly!! Communication was excellent. I thpuroughly enjoyed a long sosk in the master bath and also appreciated thick towels! The pictures are accurate in general but dont show the very high ceilings . Great house! Great owner!

Great neighborhood!
The Derby house was perfect for our stay. Close enough to the Kentucky Expo, but far enough to get that safe community neighborhood feel, away from downtown! Home was clean, quiet, and enjoyed the spacious soaking tub in the Master Bedroom. Will definitely book again!

2Moms 2volleyball players, we really enjoyed the house. Quiet and relaxing (we really needed that) pizza delivery was a breeze. Everything we could have needed was there. Location was easy and convenient about 15 minutes with low traffic to Expo Center. We will consider again for next year.
