5 Star Reviews from our past guests:
"As always a great stay. We continue to choose this great place because of the location, cleanliness, owner responsiveness and her caring about our stay."
"Stayed in Nichole’s place for 3 weeks and had an excellent time. Was looking for a place where we could walk to restaurants and local shops and this location more than delivered! Nichole was quick to respond to all questions, would stay here again"
"Great place to stay near the best restaurants. We visit Louisville annually for our kids events and this year wanted to stay in the highlands so we could walk to our favorite eateries (like Heart & Soy!). We loved the proximity to good food and how close it was to Cherokee park. Nichole was highly communicative and made the stay a breeze."

Other things to note:
^Noise/Foot traffic: (It is significantly quieter and calmer in the winter months) While week nights are usually peaceful and quiet (unless it's a holiday), if you are coming for a weekend stay we are best suited for those who want to adventure and take advantage of the location, not those looking for a quiet night on a weekend. Being so close to everything, the house is located on a busy street next to bars and resturaunts and with a lot of people passing by.
Sound machines are provided in each bedroom. You will likely hear some of the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood throughout your stay in the unit and may come across some locals on your walks to tour the town. On weekend nights you will hear cars and people outside, but that is the tradeoff for being in the heart of all the action!
^Free street parking. 2 car driveway shared between 2 units, first come first serve. If it is taken when you arrive, do street parking. Due to the prime location, on weekends in the late afternoon/evenings street parking may be full right outside the building. However, there is ample street parking around the block.
^Personal login required for streaming services. In-building laundry available for stays over 1 week, will consider for shorter stays upon request prior to check-in.
^Stays over 1 week- will require deep clean, total cleaning fee will be $155.
^Early Check-in: Early check-in at 1pm may be available in certain situations upong request. The early check-in fee is $35.
^Guests: Only the number of guests stated in your reservation are allowed to be at or in the property at any time without express written approval of property owner. If you exceed the number of guests you book for, there will be a $100 fine per person per night. No parties or gatherings. Noise monitors inside house. Violations will be met with applicable fines & eviction.
^Starter supplies of toiletries are provided. However if you are here for a longer stay, you will likely need to make a short trip to the grocery to replenish some things, like paper products.
^Pets: If you are bringing your fur child, there is a $150 pet fee. No cats. Please be sure to read Pet Rules and state your agreement to Host at the time of booking.
