Host was very responsive, cute little house, clean, the alley was tight to get to the back for parking, neighborhood seemed safe, host gave lots of info on places to eat and things to do. Would stay again!
The house was a great place to relax after exploring Louisville. Close to restaurants and downtown. Our host was available and checking in was easy. I recommend this property for anyone looking for a warm and relaxing place to stay.
Very clean and spacious condo. We had the entire first floor to ourselves. It was a quick 10 minute drive from downtown. Communication and check in with the host was carefree and effortless. The backyard looked great but did not use since it was the middle of winter. Glad we booked!

Thanks Wayne! Urban Bourbon Hub is fantastic! We'd be happy to host you again!!
The 1 star for the pool, was because there is no Pool, and never read anything about a pool.We enjoyed our Thanksgiving there. Friendly neighbors around and pretty quiet area. Many stores are a 5 to 10 min walk, and the place was very comfortable. Great communication with the host when we needed them. Good Job and Thank you

Thanks for the 5-Star review Joseph! Hilarious joke about the pool. To clarify for future guests, we don't have a pool and we don't advertise a pool.
We went for the State Fair which was disappointing. However are stay was wonderful. The house was in a great location. Close to most everything else we did while there. Nice qiute neighborhood, clean comfortable house. We will be back to due a bourbon trail and this will be the place we book. Karen was easy to communicate with and very responsive.
We have stayed at this property multiple times since we had family move to Louisville from Minnesota. We always appreciate the fast communication with Karen. With the hot temperatures of Louisville, we especially appreciated the air conditioning!Will return for sure!

About the host
Hosted by Karen Sumner
My husband and I have lived in this neighborhood since 1997. I was born in Louisville and my husband grew up in California. I am a retired nurse now realtor and my husband is a general contractor and has been doing home renovations since 2007. We both graduated from the University of Louisville. We started our home sharing adventure in May of 2017 and have absolutely loved meeting people from all over the country. We would love to host people from other countries too. Everyone we have met has been so considerate and come visit for a variety of reasons from KY Derby to sporting events to just wanting to meet up with old friends. Let us know why you are coming to visit and we will try to accommodate and enhance your stay. Peace and Love, Louisville Getaways
Why they chose this property
Our house is in the one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Louisville. It is close to everything cool and still has that old school neighborhood feel! It is the pulse of the city. Tons of great local restaurants and bars within walking distance. We are close to Bardstown Rd, Barret Ave, Downtown, Ky Convention Center, Ky Expo Center, Waterfront Park, University of Louisville, Churchill Downs. Great for active seniors looking for 1st floor living!
What makes this property unique
Our home still has some old time charm with a mahogany burled wood mantle, armoire, and tall ceilings while providing the modern conveniences of today. Guest say it feels so much bigger than it looks! We're right next door so we can respond quickly to any needs. We're happy to help! Private parking area in the back of home or free on street parking. All of our homes are monitored by exterior cameras for added peace of mind. Close to everything fun and exciting but offers a close knit neighborhood feel.
