Nice room. Bed could be more comfortable. Especially the pillows. Water pressure not great and water in shower did not get hot. Fix those two things and it would be great

We loved staying in Shannon’s Airbnb during our wedding! It worked perfectly and so spacious
It was perfect for us! We were there for a BMX racing event and it so happened to be one of the hottest weekends ever in Louisville. After a long day of racing each day, it was nice for our large group to come back to a comfy place and a home cooked meal. Soaking up the peaceful neighborhood on the front porch was my favorite. With the heat being over 100 — we were fortunate we all had portable fans to bring back from the race for the evening. Being in an absolute beautiful historic home, they worked perfect to spread the cool air around in the bedrooms. If we didn’t have them, I know Shannon would have brought some right away — she was SUPER responsive and helpful! The fenced in backyard, grill, and ample parking for big vehicles was a huge plus for us along with being able to walk to all the restaurants and shops in the area. Definitely going to book again next year for our annual trip!
This is a beautiful home in a lovely section of Louisville—so much to enjoy in the surrounding area. This home has many fun places to congregate which was a plus for our family gather. Shannon is extremely responsive and helpful which is a big plus!
Absolutely wonderful stay! Gorgeous place, amazing neighborhood, and Shannon called the day of checkin to say the cleaners had finished and we could checkin early if we’d like. She also accommodated a late checkout. Just terrific all around!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It's in a great location and easily walkable to lots of restaurants. Shannon (the host) was fantastic and quickly responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again!
This home was absolutely lovely, we would stay here again in a heartbeat. The host was extremely communicative, the house was charming and clean, and located in a wonderful neighborhood within walking distance of several excellent bars and restaurants. Can’t wait to come back to Louisville and stay here again! Thank you for the hospitality. :-)
We were there for work and it was a nice place to come back to in the evening. Walking distance to a variety of places if you didn’t feel like making food yourself.
We had a wonderful stay in this spacious, character-filled home in a fantastic location walking distance to Bardstown Road. We were 4 adults and 4 kids (ages 11–16) and had lots of room to spread out comfortably. The home has so much charm, from the stained glass accents to the old light switches, which we loved. Everything was very clean when we arrived, the A/C worked great, and the kitchen and coffee setup had everything we needed. There were also lots of towels and spare pillows available, which was appreciated for a larger group. The water pressure was a little low, but that’s fairly typical for an older home and didn’t impact our stay. The host was very helpful and quick to respond throughout. Overall, a great spot for families or groups visiting Louisville. We would stay here again!
