Host was very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions we had before or during our stay! It was a relaxing place to stay while in town for the Eastern Nationals Archery Tournament for two of our daughters. Highly recommend! Only suggestions I would have would be to add trash cans to the bedrooms and a small seating area for guests to gather. Loved it!!

About the host

Hosted by Leenette

Host profile image
Hello, I am a Louisville KY native working full time that purchased this home to host guests such as yourself. It has been a labor of love getting it ready and I am so excited to share it with you.

My first love is running, so having St. James Court and Central Park nearby is the perfect place for me to run with stunning views of the Old Louisville homes and neighborhood. I also compete in body building competitions and love to do country western, swing and line dancing.

Why they chose this property

Walk across the street to St. James Art Fair. 2.4 miles to Churchill Downs. Your group will enjoy easy access to everything from this centrally located Old Louisville home.
Close to the Airport, UofL, Downtown, Churchill Downs, Bourbon Tours and all the excitement The Derby City has to offer.
