Fantastic stay! One of the best private stays I've ever had. Room was huge - far bigger than the photos suggest - and was packed with every amenity we could possibly ask for. And then some. Strongly recommended!

Great place and we walked everywhere.

We really enjoyed staying at the loft. It was well done, had everything we needed and a great location. As part of our bourbon getaway we wanted someplace we could go back to in the evenings and walk to downtown restaurants and bars. We also enjoyed walking to the distilleries downtown during the day. Would definitely come back. A spot in the parking garage was a big plus too.

Fantastic place! Perfect location! Parking right behind the building in a parking garage. Great time doing part of the Bourbon Trail. Love the history of the city and this building itself. It was built in 1890. The floors and brick walls are original. You can still smell the age of the building in the elevator. You can’t go wrong with your stay here!

Great for history and adventure!

The location was great -- we needed to spend four days at the convention center and were delighted to find that 4th Street is primarily for pedestrians! My kids' friends asked if we would join them at an escape room, and we were pleasantly surprised to see it was right across the street. It took us a full day to discover the building's front door and that was much more comfortable than entering through the alley. The apartment itself was lovely -- we didn't have to eat out a single time because the kitchen allowed us to cook full meals. Be sure to check out the Seelbach Hilton down the street -- you can walk inside to watch a video detailing the fascinating history of the building.

Excellent location and great space!

Very spacious and clean loft close to everything! We never had to move our vehicle once! Justin was a very thorough and quick communicator. An extra star for utilizing the cleaning service and not making us clean the apartment before we leave as EVERY other VRBO has made me do in the past. Can't say enough good things about this place. Perfect!

Perfect Stay

This was the perfect place to stay for our trip to Louisville. Justin was quick to communicate back and forth and provided wonderful recommendations. Walking distance to many places like the Louisville Slugger museum and field, various distillaries, and great restaurants. Would definitely recommend to others.

New Year’s Eve Perfect!

Justin was an excellent host and provided accurate and precise instructions for check-in and parking. His loft was perfectly located for our New Year’s Eve experience at Fourth Street Live! The loft was a beautiful space with unique features including a lovely balcony space, a record player with a variety of classic records, and a historic building. We loved our stay here!

Louisville Condo

We only stayed one night, but this is a great apartment in a great location. We walked to the waterfront park, Brown Hotel for a hot brown, wandered the entertainment district, and had a drink listening to live jazz. It is a confusing place to get into, but Justin gave such detailed directions so we had no issues at all.
