We wanted/needed to like it

Pictures of the inside were good, but outside misrepresented. Good points: relatively clean inside, comfortable beds, new appliances. Best part was well stocked kitchen to meet all our cooking needs as we don’t eat out. BAD: Outside poorly represented in pics. Stairs are sketchy, paint peeling badly off door and hard to close from the outside, had to walk through a broken down fence and avoid HOLES was a bit treacherous. Worst part: Dealing with management was a nightmare. I asked for the address but was told I would receive it 24 hours before check in. We paid in three weeks before our check in. We needed to set our GPS the 24 hours in advance as we were in the mountains - limited cell towers. FRUSTRATING as we never heard back until we were only 2 hours away, from the city, when told we had to PAY FIRST! Can you imagine how frustrating? Check in was on a Friday. It took an hour or so to check with our “bank” to confirm this. When we arrived, we saw four or five cops with flashing lights across the street, surrounding a vehicle. Apartment faces a through street….Then we had to walk around ground holes (fresh cut grass hid a few) and up sketchy stairs into a WARM apartment. So put a call in as it appeared the A/C wasn’t working. Long story short, it never properly worked although a repairman tried on Saturday at 3 pm. We endured two hot nights. We should never have checked in but we had no place to go. It’s Easter weekend and time to be with family. Instead, on Easter Sunday

"Scholars Apartment"

Enjoyed our stay. Well equipped, up-to-date and comfortable. Only 2 minor issues. Some of the dishes from the previous guest had been put away dirty and had to be re-washed. It would be nice have a clear path (or sidewalk) to get to the stairs leading up to the entrance instead of having to walk through wet, dewy grass.

Clean, but not quiet

If you’re a night owl and don’t mind noisy neighbors, this spot will suit your needs. Unfortunately we were in town for a meeting and had to be up at 6am. Since the downstairs tenants stayed up until 1:30am, we didn’t get much sleep. The apartment is just like the pictures though—very clean and updated. The mattresses are comfortable. The kitchen is great with everything you need to cook if you choose. One suggestion for the owner might be to add a path to the staircase so your guests don’t have to walk through the tall grass to get to the stairway.

Perfect place to visit my Kentucky roots

Perfect size for me and my son to stay. Well appointed and comfortable! The kitchen has everything you need to cook for yourself if you want (full size fridge, stove/oven!!). Beds were very comfortable, and the place has a cozy charm for sure! Felt like a home away from home. The only possible improvement would be dedicated parking off the street and a paved walkway to the stairs (you have to walk through a yard for just a few feet - makes a difference between wet shoes and dry shoes if it’s been raining), otherwise a perfect stay!!

Beautiful, comfortable but NOISY!

This 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment is lovely. It was clean, the beds and linens were very comfortable, BUT the noise from the downstairs tenants was awful. Loud hard-core rap music, a tv and laughter/loud yells went on til well after midnight. At some point the thumping bass of the music ended, but the loud tv remained on all night. It does sit on a fairly busy street so there's some street noise, but if you're looking for a quiet stay and a good night's sleep this isn't the place (at least while the university is in session.)
