About the host

Hosted by Karen Sumner

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived in this neighborhood since 1997. I was born in Louisville and my husband grew up in California. I am a retired nurse now realtor and my husband is a general contractor and has been doing home renovations since 2007.
We both graduated from the University of Louisville. We started our home sharing adventure in May of 2017 and have absolutely loved meeting people from all over the country. We would love to host people from other countries too. Everyone we have met has been so considerate and come visit for a variety of reasons from KY Derby to sporting events to just wanting to meet up with old friends. Let us know why you are coming to visit and we will try to accommodate and enhance your stay.
Peace and Love,
The Sumners

Why they chose this property

Our house is in the most desirable neighborhood in Louisville. It is close to everything cool and still has that old school neighborhood feel! It is the pulse of the city. All of the best local restaurants and bars within walking distance. We are close to Bardstown Rd, Downtown, The Convention Center, The Ky Expo Center, Waterfront Park, University of Louisville and Churchill Downs.

What makes this property unique

This listing still has some old time charm with a mahogany burled wood mantle, armoire, and tall ceilings while providing the modern conveniences of today.
We, the owners, are right next door so we can respond quickly to any needs. We're happy to help!
Close to everything fun and exciting but offers a close knit neighborhood feel.
