Great little stay in downtown Louisville if that is the vibe you are going for. A lot of fun things to do within walking/running distance. Definitely a bit loud at night since it is a loft above a restaurant, but that is in most of the comments, so just be aware. Was not a problem for us, but for others, this might be a no-go. Another potential consideration is that it is a third floor loft, so just be aware if you are bringing pets and stairs are a problem for them. Parking was free, but always a bit awkward to get in to and out of. Thanks for the stay and we enjoyed our time there!

This was a great little stay for my partner and I in Louisville. The loft was cute and comfortable with plenty of restaurants and some little shops all within walking distance (mostly within feet!) the area is newly gentrified and seems to be pretty friendly to all walks of life. There are 3 flights of stairs to the entrance of the loft above the nice Cajun restaurant which you wouldn’t even notice except for some water pressure variances. But obviously not handicap or elderly accessible and be wary that checkout time will be @ 10am - not industry standard of 11. Overall 4/5 and would stay again if we find ourselves in Louisville.

We enjoyed our stay in this charming loft above the popular Cajun restaurant, Lou Lou on Market. Nu Lu is Louisville’s hip area, offering a myriad of shops, restaurants, bars, and distilleries. This location was so convenient for meeting friends and family within a walking distance from our loft. Our host was available to answer all questions and accommodate our needs.

There appeared to have been dogs at the property before we stayed, there was dog hair on the floor. The cleaning prior to our stay wasn't great. Location is great, instructions of where to park was detailed and made check in easy. Property needed more pillows with pillow cases and more towels, preferably matching towels. I would stay here again, however the items listed would have made it even more enjoyable.
