This place is an amazing deal for being 5-15 minutes from everything in Louisville. Read the listing. This house is a bit different. The bedrooms are next door in an adjoining space. Lots of steps to get around the property. Street parking is free in front of the house. More than enough space for the three of us.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Feb 2026
Debra sorry for that experience. The front door must have been unlocked for that to happen. There is also a chain lock that can be locked from the insides, a "double check lock." Both locks had to be unlocked for the door to be wide open. The back door likewise has a lock that you lock when you need it locked. The back door had to be left unlocked also to be wide open. I know you had 3 children, could they have left the doors open?
