The inside of the house has been renovated by refinishing the original hardwood floors on the first level and updated with new Pergo flooring in the basement. All walls and trim have been painted and every light fixture in the house has been replaced. The bathroom has been updated with a new toilet, vanity, flooring, and hardware. The basement has newly installed kitchen appliances and a laundry room with a washer and dryer. The outside has been updated with a privacy fenced-in patio area. The house offers a great covered front porch along with a street light at the house for great visibility at night time.

The house has been carefully thought out and decorated with all that you will need including a queen bed and a king-sized bed. There is a 55-inch TV in the living room with a Roku so you can login to your favorite streaming service and a 55 inch TV in the large bedroom. The TV in the larger bedroom has WatchFree by Vizio that includes a couple of local channels and a whole lot more!

This is a very old house that has a different layout and plenty of character. The floors aren't completely level and neither are the walls. We have modernized the finishes and décor but just remember, it was built in 1920. You walk into the front door into the living room and off the living room there is the small bedroom. To get to the bathroom and large bedroom, you must walk through the small bedroom. The kitchen and laundry area are in the basement which is a walkout to the back patio/yard. The ceiling at its lowest point in the basement is about 6 foot 4 inches, so this may not be the best place for really tall people. There is a quiet commercial space across the street and a railroad track on the other side of that. The commercial space is an industrial business and is very quiet and the train you probably will never hear. I've been in the house a lot and haven't heard the train while being inside and have barely/rarely hear it outside.

We were looking for a convenient location. This property is less then 2 miles from the airport. We were there for 5 nights. Our adult daughter lived in Louisville for 10 yrs graduating from U of L. She’s on disability now. We came back so she coukd see friends. The location is a modest neighborhood minutes from everywhere. The bungalow was perfect in size. The kitchen/dining is on the lower level with the laundry. There are stairs. You do need to walk through bedrooms to access the stairs but with a family not an issue. The beds are comfortable. The TVs are set up for streaming. We felt this was a good value. Again, convenient to everywhere, clean responsive host Thanks for a nice time

Vacation in Louisville
The property was perfect for our stay. Our family of 3 had an amazing time and the hosts were incredible! There were snacks, water and coffee/tea to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We got great food recommendations from the hosts. The beds were comfortable and towels were fluffy! Small things but wonderful! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!!

Absolutely wonderful!
Everything about the stay was wonderful! The house was very clean and perfect for our family on a volleyball weekend. The location was great with plenty of access to food or groceries. The neighborhood itself was not spectacular, but the property itself was great! Would definitely stay again!
