  Absolutely what we were looking for, a nice clean honey getaway. Very easy and hassle free, close to everything we were looking for in Louisville, track, university, restaurants etc... The place itself was very comfortable kind of a diamond in the rough. Quiet & relaxing with all amenities including a swing out flat screen TV to veiw from bed or spacious kitchen. More of a bed & breakfast with Louisvilles'famous Nords bakery right around the corner. We will be back . Thank Louise Timmons for the beautiful artwork,

  Our stay was excellent. Todd and Lou were excellent host. Our trip was last minute and they were able to get us all the necessary paperwork the night before so we could check in on 4/16. Thank you Todd and Lou!!!

  The apartment was just fine but not as nice as others I have used though VRBO before. Very rough around the edges, especially in the bathroom, which was crudely finished. I suppose my biggest annoyance was the lack of a bar of soap in the shower. For the price charged for a moderate size city like Louisville, I was expecting something a bit nicer. Louise was very easy to work with.

  This studio made a great home base for my husband, little dog and I on our first visit to Louisville - easy access from the airport, convenient parking and walking to the University of Louisville sports complexes, great coffee and eating places (don't miss NORD'S BAKERY), etc. Easy drive to grocery stores, restaurants (Zen Garden was especially nice) and attractions like the river trails, parks and so on. The studio itself is an easy place to stay - the kitchen provided everything we needed for our cooking, and we even hosted our children for dinner a couple of times. The bed has a great mattress, comfy sleeping. Everything was nice and clean for our arrival, with tons of towels, etc. The interior design is sophisticated and urbane, with comfortable couches, a big TV and easy internet access. It was VERY COLD outside while we were here - in nicer weather I suspect the 2nd floor deck would have been a great place to hang out. Next time for sure.

  I was in town for work for 3 weeks and couldn't have been more pleased with my accommodations here. The apartment is spacious, quite, and has everything you need to get by on. I am on the road year round and after staying in hotels all the time, this was a great escape to a little bit of normalcy. It's very accessible to anything you would want to do in Louisville. Thank you for a great stay.

  I was forced to look for a vacation rental when hotel rooms in Louisville were sold out for a recent convention, and this place made me glad I was. The photos are accurate. The place is small but very nice and very comfortable.There's a little living area with soft couches and a flat screen (local public access television in Kentucky, whoa), the bed was large and tall and comfortable, there was still a place for a table in the kitchen. There was a coffee pot and some coffee. A previous review said that things were dirty. This is no longer the case. The fridge and the brita within were spotless. The bathroom was perfectly fine and towels were nice. The place was also well lit naturally, and as it was over a garage in the back of another house (with it's own access, however) it felt very private. The Google streetview of the address does it little justice as it shows it to be gloomy. The houses on this street are close to the college and sort of throwback. Service was great: I arrived really late and Louise still greeted me. I'd be remiss if I didn't note that the apartment is accessed by a back road (cool) and the back of it faces, across this back road, a cemetery. Some might find this a detraction. I found it to be a big, cool plus.

  The property was essentially as advertised and the photos were accurate depictions. We did enjoy the apartment however, it was not as clean as we would have liked. For example, the mirror in the bathroom was spotted and the refrigerator and microwave both needed cleaning before use. In gereral, more attention needs to be paid to detail such as grouting around the bathtub and painting. The only other complaint is that although the property is listed as pet-friendly, which we greatly appreciate, there was absolutely no grass closely accessible. The location of the property is very convenient to area attractions. We especially enjoyed the tour of Churchill Downs and a relaxing drive through horse country. At the nearby Actor's Theater we thoroughy enjoyed a production of "Dracula". Although we did not find a lot of shopping in the area (other than antiques) we were impressed with all of the restaurants and nightlife available. The "Holy Grail" bar had a very unique collection of beers and appetizers in a former church making for a very unique setting. Especially good was the pretzel and beer cheese. Also, the buffalo chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries at the "Cumberland Taproom" were exceptional.

  Close enough to the airport, far enough to not be disturbed by the noise. This is a cool location. Once you understand the city's straightforward structure you'll find that you can get anywhere from the apartment by car easily. The property has all you need to spend your time in Louisville self-sufficiently. It's clean, safe, well kept and the patio is a gem for spinning down in the evening. The owners are friendly, kind and responsive. I give a clear recommendation.

  The apartment was convenient and centrally located. The owners were very helpful and accommodating. Everything was clean. We had everything we needed! We have two small dogs and there was a good place to walk them. We enjoyed our visit very much and plan to return!
