We had the most wonderful stay in Cheryl’s apartment! The property is exactly as described but even better in person. The furnishings are homey and comfortable yet, elegant too.

Beautiful and Welcoming

We stayed here with another couple and this was a perfect stay. We each had our own suite and Cheryl thought of so many details. The garden is beautiful and this historic home is well cared for. The home was secure, safe, and clean. We highly recommend staying here. Be sure to look for the history of this property that is in the rooms in a presentation binder. The history was great to learn about.

Fabulous in Old Louisville

I visited Louisville with my sister and another friend -- we rented the entire second floor (two separate apartments). Cheryl was an amazing host -- she greeted us upon our arrival and answered questions quickly. Can't say enough about her hospitality. The apartments are beautifully appointed and super clean. The kitchens were equipped with absolutely everything we needed. If you're looking for an Old Louisville experience, this is it!! Thank you, Cheryl, for making our stay so memorable...

Overall 8.5/10

Great location, very nice property manager, and very nice units. Easy on street parking and clean. One minor complaint and one suggestion. Minor complaint...there are 2 TV's in each unit, but nothing on them...no cable or even antenna for just local channels. They are smart TV's, so if you have any of the streaming services, you can log-in yourself, would just be nice to have something on them. Suggestion... upgrade the mattresses. They are thin and pretty soft. As soon as you lay on them you're pretty much laying on the box spring. Did not get great sleep any of these nights we were there unfortunately. Would stay there again if better mattresses for sure, and overall good experience.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Oct 2023
Thank you for your review. All TVs have Spectrum Cable on them with hundreds of channels. I would have been happy to show you how the TV's work if you would have asked. I will look into changing the king mattress. It seems that people with a larger stature aren't as comfortable as others sleeping on it.

This was a great property located in a beautiful historic district. It was centrally located between all of the attractions - Churchill Downs, U of L, downtown and NuLu neighborhood and just 10 minutes from the airport. The house was very clean and well kept and perfect for two couples. The owner was great to work with. I would definitely rent this property again.

Great Place From Which To Experience Louisville

This place is a true gem. It is in a central location close to downtown, Churchill Downs, etc. The accommodations were perfect with very comfortable bedding, high quality linens, towels, etc. Cheryl was an amazing host and makes the room feel so much like home.

Spacious and comfortable

We were impressed with the size this rental, basically it is 2 small apartments, which was nice for two couples. We enjoyed everything and would stay here again! The apartments are quaint and homey. Location is on a quiet historic street, although some airplane noise being close to the airport. Not too much to eat in a walking distance so we did have to drive or Uber all weekend. Everything was as expected and Cheryl was easy to communicate with. We enjoyed being tourists in Louisville, thanks Cheryl!

A Gem in Old Louisville

We enjoyed staying in the little apartment-like rooms of this old brick home. We enjoyed the architecture of the neighborhood and remembering its glory days. The rooms are super clean and efficient for a stay. The beds are AWESOME! Super comfortable. We even did a little cooking in the kitchen and enjoyed a meal in at the counter bar while watching TV. Had everything we needed. Will stay again.

Terrific couples stay!

We had a wonderful stay in Louisville at this beautiful property! The house is gorgeous!! It was well kept, clean, and all the little extras around the house added such a special touch. The backyard is a beautiful spot to sit and have morning coffee or enjoy an evening cocktail. And Cheryl is an absolute doll!! The house is located close to everything that we wanted to do so it was easy for us to drive or get an Uber/Lyft anywhere we needed to go. We loved our stay here and can't wait to come back for another visit! Thank you!!!

Reunion with old friends

This property is An ideal place for two couples. Quiet enough to have wine and cheese on the patio, pretty enough for morning walks and close enough for inexpensive Uber rides. Cheryl is a great host meeting us at the property to show us around. She also gave tips of what to see and where to eat. Thanks to Cheryl for opening her home and making a reunion with old friends a great experience.
