What makes this property unique
Reviews:
Jill: June 2025 Wonderful place to stay. The host was responsive and accommodating. She made sure we got settled and our stay was goi g well. I’d highly recommend and would stay there again.
Em: May 2025
We stayed here for the Kentucky Derby and it was the absolute perfect spot. Close enough to Churchill Downs that we easily ubered there but far enough away to be nestled in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood. The house was GORGEOUS. The attention to detail-from the coffee maker options, hand blender, high quality shampoos and conditioners, nice hair dryer, Derby-esque wall decor, dimmable lighting, furniture, security of the door locks, etc. We absolutely loved it here. Picture perfect.
Laura: April 2025
We loved staying at Brenda’s house. Not only was it the cleanest Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in, it had luxe extras such as a super comfy bed, thick towels, extra blankets and more. Will definitely stay here again!
Seriously can’t say enough good things about our stay.
