Great spot for exploring Germantown

Great location! This is a clean and interesting shotgun-style house in the heart of Germantown. A block away from Hauck's and Hop Atomica brewery, and under a 10 minute walk from tons of good bars and restaurants. Owner was communicative beforehand to let us know all the necessary details. I would absolutely recommend this spot for friends or family looking for a quiet place with good access to the local area.

Wonderful house centrally located in Germantown

I loved the feel of the house. You could tell it had been there for a long time but was well taken care of. The beds were super comfortable and i appreciated that there was no TV in any bedroom. The wall of boardgames was a really nice touch.

Perfect for a weekend getaway!

We loved staying at this property! It is truly close to *everything* to do in Louisville. We were pretty booked with events/visits/etc. during our weekend, and nothing was more than 10 minutes away by car. We loved that the house had independant art on the walls throughout, and if you're spending more time at "home" than out, theres a large shelf stocked with board games and large dining room table you can play them at! It is true there is no washing machine for clothes, but for a shorter trip, that wasn't an issue for us. Also, we were SO happy to find a pet friendly place! Be warned: the backyard is NOT fenced in. We still planned on taking our dogs out on a leash, so it didn't matter for us, but definitely beware not to just let your dog out without checking (I would recommend that for any property you're not familiar with though.) Cool bars within walking distance, Kroger is a very short car ride away (<5 minutes) if you need groceries. We definitely recommend and would absolutely book here again when we want to stay in the city.

Overall a fine experience

This property is on the smaller side. We had 5 adults and it was “tight” considering there is only 1 bathroom. However, that was probably poor planning on my part and not a misrepresentation from the host. The bedrooms are small. Technically there is 3, but that is a stretch considering one is the size of a closet (has a queen bed), 1 has a twin and is in a back room with an exterior door. The “master” bedroom was fine. My only other gripe would be that the back bedrooms were COLD. But the host provides extra blankets, so once we were settled in bed it was fine. The house is close (walking distance) to several neighborhood bars, but a drive/uber to downtown. That wasn’t a problem for us, but something to consider. I will say the host was attentive, friendly and the property was spotlessly clean. She was also responsive “after hours” when we had an issue that was out of her control. She responded quickly and kept us informed. (It was a water issue in the neighborhood and the city had it fixed quickly). All in all, it was a fine stay for a short period of time. However, I don’t think I’d stay again with any more than 4 people.
