Lovely property. Just as advertised. We needed a place to stay during our moving process from Lexington. This home is warm, cozy, great tv channels and very comfortable beds. I would definitely recommend and would stay again!
JW’s Loft was a perfect location for our visit to Lexington with easy walking distance downtown and to Euclid Ave shops and restaurants. The entire apartment was well-furnished and clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for preparing meals. Our only issue during our stay was a persistent odor. Both the property manager and the owner were very responsive and did their best to correct the problem. This is a very pleasant property in a nice walkable neighborhood which I would highly recommend.
To be honest, we used this spot as an overflow for guests during our annual 4th of July vacation with friends. My family stayed the first night but we wanted to stay here the whole week/weekend because it was so adorable! We came again at the end to check out and again thought it was just too cute! I especially loved the upstairs antique look. Thank you!
We truly enjoyed our stay! It had all the amenities and then some! We loved the private back yard, the house was decorated beautifully and the owner had a basket of goodies for us and our dog! We could not say enough about this house!

Just Okay
Clean, good off-street parking, quiet and safe location. But this is a one bedroom rental, not two as advertised. The single beds are located on the upstairs landing leading to the bedroom. Okay for a couple with two small children. Definitely not okay for two couples. Note that the bedroom is upstairs and the only bathroom is downstairs.
Lovely home in secure neighborhood. No issues whatsoever. Hostess responded quickly to our needs. We were able to secure our bikes to the tree in the backyard. We stayed a full week so we were required to take out the trash to the curb. Taking out other people's trash (who only stayed a few days but left pizza boxes) should not have been our responsibility, though. Hostess was very friendly.

Charming and comfy
This was a great find. We stay in Lexington often for equestrian events at the Horse Park. This house is in a nicer neighborhood near downtown and lots of nice places to eat. It has off street parking and very importantly a great shower with super water pressure AND a washer and dryer! Very comfortable beds and lovely decor. Just right for a homey place to sleep and rest after a long hot day at a horse show. Very clean, safe, lovely.
My husband and I plus our two dogs stayed here for 10 weeks. We were in between homes. This is a simple home. But it was clean and comfortable. It’s an older home. Some of the furniture is a little worn. Could use an overall redo. But all in all it was very welcoming and comfortable. The location of the house couldn’t be better. It was wonderful to get to know Lexington. Walking distance to at least a half a dozen restaurants. If you’re interested in visiting UK it’s just a stones throw away, I would definitely recommend this house if you’re interested in staying in downtown Lexington. It’s in an historical area surrounded by beautiful homes. Very walkable and safe. The stairs going upstairs are rather steep. So if you have mobility issues, this home may not be the best for you. It is a duplex. The other side is one story . Plenty of street parking plus you get a parking spot in the back of the house. We will miss this little house.
Good location close to downtown.
Well furnished and clean interior
Small fenced yard was not accessible due to too much pet waste
A fan is needed for upstairs
Great place in Lexington for a getaway. Close to everything. Listing is accurate. Clean and quaint. Extended for extra day. Would stay again. Highly recommend.
It was a bit tight for three adults. The bedroom is spacious. The two twin beds are right outside the bedroom door. Probably a better fit for a couple with kids. Super service and location.
This was perfect size for us— we felt very welcomed. It had everything we needed although we never found the dishwasher, although the instructions on how to use it in the thorough welcome book were clear. If you’ll have us back, we look forward to a return visit.
The house is adorable. The furnishings are super comfortable and very well kept, lovely art and decor. The little yard was a perfect spot for an afternoon read and relaxing.
The neighborhood is also beautiful. Lovely big ol Kentucky homes along a tree lined street that felt very safe, at all hours.
It was a wonderful stay and I recommend it to everyone.

Convenient Location
Small and quaint location. AC upstairs was not enough for the summer KY heat. 2 Bedrooms more appropriate description is one bedroom and a loft. Stairs are pretty steep and wood, so it would be advisable to bring a crate or a way to keep dogs downstairs if your are traveling with them. Owner/property manager were very responsive to all inquiries.
