What a gorgeous stay! The host, Eric, was incredibly communicative starting even days out, making sure everything was listed properly, updated if needed, and wishing us well on our journey. When I got to the property, I was so pleased with how spacious the home is. It has all of the charm of an older home with all of the amenities of a new property. And super well-decorated to boot. It was on a quiet road, but the neighbors took time to say hello more than once. The community garden across the way is visible from the back porch and just shows another facet of how tight-knit the community is. Truly a lovely little neighborhood to walk in - with the dogs or without. If I'm ever back in Louisville, I'll be staying again!

Cozy place with everything you need!

This house was located in a good spot to easily access the Louisville area. It was well stocked with pots and pans and dishes and little amenities like coffee, tea, dishwasher and laundry soft, etc. The place was very clean and cozy. The street parking can be a little tight, but overall this place was great. I would definitely stay there again!

Wonderful place, great stay for my partner and me with our two small dogs!

I almost hesitate to share this, as I’d like the place to be available the next time I’m in town, but this is a fabulous rental! Clean, well-appointed kitchen, attractively decorated, comfortable, backyard for our pups, walkable neighborhood, good communication with host, protective neighbors to ensure feeling safe, outdoor space to sit with coffee or a drink, close to Louisville entertainment. We hope to return!

Great Louisville Location

This was a great location for our needs. Our son had back surgery and we had to travel all over Louisville taking the grand kids to school and visiting our son at the hospital. This was central to everywhere we went. Also enjoyed the walks around the neighborhood and went to several parks and places to eat. The host, Eric, was very helpful, including extending our stay. Thanks for everything.

Pleasant little house

We enjoyed our stay at this property and found the communication from the property manager's good. They were able to help us when we had a date issue, even though there were not obligated to do so. The weather was dreary during our stay, but it was a fine place to be. We could not explore the neighborhood much with the rain, but it served our needs well.

Stylish, Comfortable & Convenient

Cute little shotgun house in the Germantown neighborhood steps from Emerson Park. The hosts were wonderful, the check-in process was easy, and the house was perfect for my parents and me. Updated interior, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, and very nice neighbors! The location is close to downtown and convenient to most anywhere else you'd like to go via Eastern Parkway. Great value for the money. We'll definitely stay again when we visit family who live nearby.

Returning Home

My partner and I once owned a property just a few blocks from this home. It feels good to go "home" and see the upkeep and vitality of the housing and neighborhood. This property met all our needs with the subtle touches of Louisville and Kentucky flare highlighted for the out of town visitor. The area is safe for walking and surrounded by gardens, parks and food options that negate having to have a car. It is close to downtown and other vital neighborhoods. The spa like amenities in the bath and kitchen made the stay a relaxing one.

The perfect introduction to Louisville

My family and I had never been to Louisville before so we had no idea what to expect. This cute home in the Schnitzelburg neighborhood of Louisville was perfect. It's basically a quick 10 minute drive to anywhere we needed to go (Downtown, Churchill Downs, Airport, University of Louisville) We met the neighbors right away to ask for food recommendations- they were super nice and directed us to a pizza shop a few blocks away. There, we found a bunch of neat cafes and small restaurants- everything we ate was delicious. The home itself is cozy and charming and the owners did a wonderful job of communicating with us to make sure our stay was just right. If we're ever back in the Louisville area, we will definitely be back!

Nice place but only 1 shower

The house is nice and clean. It is within walking distance of a few restaurants. However, the house is listed as 2br/2ba. The guest bathroom does not have a working shower. It has a sink, toilet, and bathtub only. The shower does not work. I never heard back from the realtor when I emailed about it. Otherwise, the house is nice and is as explained in the listing.

What makes this property unique

One of the best features is the location just in front of Emerson Park (and Community Garden). This was the site of a former school house transformed into a community space. We have since given up our plot in the garden but feel free to wander about or sit and enjoy the green space. Many of our neighbors have plots there and it truly brings to life the meaning of community gardening.
