This is in an old house down town. It looks to be a work in progress. The person who took the pictures for this property did a great job of staging. It felt like going to visit a very old grandma who keeps everything. Definitely needs to upgrade the linens and bedding, etc.

Great hosts! Beautiful cottage. There is a second floor place where you can hear everything - foot steps, talking, etc - so if you’re a light sleeper pack ear plugs!

Great stay
The Churchill Downs cottage was nice and clean and fully stocked with towels, toiletries, paper towels, kitchen supplies, dishes and utensils. It was only about 10 minutes from the Kentucky Expo Center and restaurants near downtown. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay.

Cozy little home away from home
My daughter and I stayed for a weekend while visiting friends. We found the home to be quite comfortable and clean. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. We hosted friends for breakfast, it was great to linger over coffee without being rushed. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay. If we are ever in the need for lodging in Louisville again we will definitely stay there.

I don’t recommend
We had ants in the kitchen and they had left spray for us to use, which really didn’t work. The carpets in both bedrooms were disgusting and either needed to be cleaned or actually replaced. The mattress on the bed in the yellow bedroom. Was sagging in the middle and needs to be replaced. It was also a duplex with an upstairs unit, which is not in the listing and you can hear everything from whoever is staying upstairs. I do not recommend.

LOVED LOVED LOVED!!!
Check in was a breeze, we were 20 min from anywhere in Louisville. It was decorated so nice , Beds super comfortable, well stocked amenities . Never felt uneasy in that location and we were coming back late from our adventures about town . After midnight most of the time. Was quiet for being downtown. We were celebrating my sister's 50th Birthday that weekend with concerts museums, thrifting. A great place !!! Definitely will stay there again for my overnight travels . Oh and there was a Keurig and 2 Coffee pots, and a very well stocked kitchen!! We had no issues but communication was very quick with the property managers for information we needed.

Thanksgiving getaway
Well-maintained in a quiet, historic neighborhood. Enjoyed the church bells. Easy to get to. Easy access to highways.
Liked easy access to I-65, a major grocery was 2 miles, a couple of good restaurants were almost within walking, typical large city traffic. Needed more towels. Sort of wary of some areas nearby.
