Property Description
Soak up the sunlight in this 1000sf penthouse of this retired historic 19th-century Butchertown brothel. Blanketed in natural light, this 3rd story Garret has the feel of a sun-bleached tree-top tent, and is ideal for a couple's retreat or a friends' outing. A few of the city’s top restaurants and bars are less than a block walk away. Endless other drinking, shopping, and attractions are nearby in Nulu, Frankfort Ave, and the Waterfront. The Space: Thirteen skylights and windows pour light into this large open space. Plants abound. The space is replete with sitting areas; lounge amenities include 5G WiFi, Netflix, Amazon Alexa, and smart lighting. The Crosley is stacked with vinyl. A live-edge bar offers a casual spot to share a drink before a night out, and a bistro table offers a cozy perch for dining in. A queen canopy bed crowns the large bedroom, which is trimmed with plenty of mirrors and a space to get ready for a night out. Guest Access: - Street parking can be found all along Story Ave. - Guests have their own marked stairwell entry on the Frankfort Ave side of the building. - Electronic lock code for this stairwell entry and the Garret entry will be provided the day before check-in. - This is a 3rd floor unit with access by stairwell. The Garret can be found at the top of the stairwell, marked with a 4. - Note that the back courtyard and balcony are to be avoided due to ongoing renovation work. Worth noting: This unit has an amazing location, but it is a busy corner. You may occasionally hear traffic, pedestrians, or construction noise, but it is fairly muffled by the apartment's insulation and height above the street - only our visitors from rural areas seem to notice the noise.About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Adults only.About checkIn:Check in after 3:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 18.About events:No events allowed.

Comfortable and well appointed! Cool neighborhood, found easy street parking all three days and was close (under 10 minutes) to all of my destinations. I would recommend to others and would definitely stay here again!

Great weekend spot for two Everything was as advertised, and hosts were helpful and responsive. Skylights provided really nice natural lighting, and the apartment had an open yet cozy feel. Would definitely consider this listing again when back in the area.

Lovely experience The thoughtful decor and comfort made my visit to Louisville extra special. Soft carpet, pillows, art, plants, and a record player made it the perfect place to come back to after exploring the city all day. The location is great. It is in walking distance to many restaurants and a short drive to other popular spots around town. The host is kind and helpful.

A quick trip in the Garrett This property is very cute on the inside. However with that being said the outside and the entrance to this place was not the same. I was traveling alone as a young female and felt a little unsafe with the entrance to the unit along with reaching the unit as there was a lot of construction going on. The corner the building is on is also very busy and I was up every night from loud cars, etc. I know this cannot be avoided and is disclosed in the properties description however I believe it is important to note. Kevin was a great host and responded in a timely manner and was very nice. This unit is very accommodating and it has everything you need. I like the inside of the unit a lot.

Excellent stay We were in town for the marathon and this place was a fantastic spot to unwind and relax. Close distance to downtown as well as many cool places in the neighborhoods of Louisville. The hosts were easy to reach and very kind. Highly recommend.

Spacious and unique in Butchertown We checked out a new area during our last visit to Louisville and were very pleased with our choice of a home base! Appreciated the accuracy of the description of the amenities and neighborhood. Can't wait to see what you do with all the building renovations you have planned.
