Great Accommodations in a Cozy Apartment

My husband and I made a trip to Louisville so that I could enjoy the Mini Marathon. We booked with Leenette well in advance of the weekend. Here communications with me, from the beginning, were prompt and very helpful. The confirmation email which provided not only the instructions for accessing the apartment, but the directions to the home were great! The apartment was cozy, with the necessities needed to make it a pleasant stay. The check-in process was very easy and the apartment was ready well ahead of our arrival. The location was ideal as it was close to Bardstown Road and easily-accessible to the areas where we needed to be for various activities. We would recommend this property as the hostess made it a very pleasant and inviting stay. and will definitely look to her for future trips to Louisville. Thanks for a great home away from home!

Great location and pet friendly

The property was very clean and nice. There was more room in the space than it appears and was comfortable for two adults and a dog. Location is excellent and close to everything in a nice neighborhood. Only complaint was that the bed was not comfortable.

A great stay with just a few glitches

Great location, clean and well stocked especially for our fury family members. The only issue was upon arrival the entrance door knob was broken and in reaching out to the owner her response was she had just ordered dinner and would come after. Unfortunately that meant we had to drive around and wait not knowing the area. We waited to hear back from her and finally called again to find out all was fixed; better communication would have been helpful. Once that was resolved it was smooth sailing and very accommodating. Definitely would stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

Cozy neighborhood apartment

I really enjoyed my stay in this cute abode. The bedroom and living room were comfortable and spacious, and the little kitchen had everything i needed. I was traveling with two little dogs, and Leenette provided two crates, and it was helpful that I didn't have to bring in my travel crates from the car. It is a nice neighborhood, and I'd definitely stay here again.

Easy to find, comfortable stay (yes, if you’re above 5’10”, you will feel the need to duck a lot.) clean space, on street parking, very active community. Everyone walking/ walking dogs. We only stayed to sleep and shower, but it fit our needs.
