We rented this property for the Bourbon & Beyond music festival. We booked 6 weeks in advance, but felt it was WAY overpriced (plus the booking was completely nonrefundable). Realizing the law of supply/demand, we booked anyway. The best thing about this property is the location. A small home located in a charming neighborhood, it’s close to many activities (festivals, fairgrounds, football, Churchill Downs, airport) and walkable to restaurants and breweries. Communications was a struggle. They asked for a payment to be made off VRBO’s platform which was sketchy. Upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly neighbor who offered to help with emergencies, which was nice. But I had 3 different names as contacts and was getting duplicate messages through VRBO app/emails/texts (i.e., asking me to let them know when we were arriving, which I’d already done.)Décor is fine, in Louisville themes. We enjoyed the small front porch. Beds were comfortable; kitchen was functional. Bathrooms were clean and seemed recently re-done. Master bath was extra-nice, with a spa shower and heated floors. We had 4 adults staying for 6 nights but the only toilet paper in the house were the rolls already on the dispensers, so we had to ask for more TP (which they promptly delivered). Small things like a stained couch, watered-down hand soap, a TV with no audio (at least, after much fiddling, we couldn’t get it to work), dirty dishwasher, and broken door handle underscored the feeling of overpaying.
