This is an incredible property in old Louisville. The property owners have thought hard about every room and each detail. There is plenty of space and ample supplies for every need. The decor is fitting to the area and is at the same time comfortable and elegant. A true urban oasis! I highly recommend this property and will definitely seek to rent it again when we return to the area.

A group of 8 of us went to the Bourbon and Beyond Festival and rented this VRBO for 5 nights. The host, Matt, was extremely accomodating, communicative, and helpful to us. We absolutely loved the backyard area and the ease of cooking in the kitchen and grilling. We all had a wonderful time and I would choose this home were I to visit Louisville again.
