We stayed at this lovely historical home for a couple nights and it was an amazing experience. The house was exactly as described, clean, welcoming, and everyone loved it! Loved the historic architecture! We would definitely stay again in the future! P.S The beds are super comfortable and cozy! Sometimes you don’t always know how the beds will turn out when you book somewhere but these beds were perfect!

We had a wonderful stay! This charming early 1900’s home had everything we needed and more. The interior was beautifully maintained with warm lighting and a cozy, welcoming feel. The big backyard and dedicated off-street parking spot were huge bonuses. Plus, there was one street spot available too. The full kitchen was a highlight, complete with filtered water straight from the fridge and an ice maker. Everything was spotless and very cool inside with easy to adjust temperature settings. But the best part for me was the comfort, both the beds and couch were perfect. Not too firm, not too soft, and the pillows were excellent.

Very peaceful oasis in a fantastic location! We really enjoyed our stay! It was not only in easily walkable proximity to one of our favorite distillers but also to great restaurants and fun shopping. Anand’s home was absolutely beautiful! 10/10 recommended!

Anand was a wonderful host, with many local recommendations and flexible with my travel schedule. The house was in a great area, walkable to whiskey row and NULU district. Everything matched the description. Would definitely book again!

I had an amazing stay at this property! From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The apartment is stylish, cozy, and perfectly equipped with everything I needed. It’s clear the host really cares about making the space comfortable and inviting. The little details like the soft linens and well-stocked kitchen made all the difference. The location is unbeatable. I loved being able to walk to some fantastic local spots – close to E Market St, great coffee shops, amazing restaurants, and the vibrant NuLu district with its unique galleries and boutiques. I also had the chance to visit Rabbit Hole Distillery, which was a real highlight! It was just a 5 min walk away. Their bourbon tour was fantastic and the tasting room has such a cool vibe. The host was super helpful and responsive, always quick to answer questions and give great recommendations. They really went out of their way to make sure I had a great time. I will definitely want to stay at this property again. Thank you!

Staying at Anand’s place in NuLu was an absolute treat! The home was spotless, stylish, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location couldn’t have been better—right in the heart of NuLu, just steps from amazing restaurants, local boutiques, and some of Louisville’s best bourbon bars. Plus, being so close to downtown made it incredibly easy to explore everything the city has to offer. Anand was a fantastic host—super friendly, quick to respond, and full of great local recommendations. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Louisville!

Anand’s place was just perfect! We had everything we needed! Felt right at home. The shower. Oh my goodness. It was the most relaxing shower ever. They also have it decorated so nicely! Everything is modern and up to date. The bed was the softest bed I think I have ever laid in. From the sheets to the comforter it was just perfect. Some people may not notice this, but I definitely do. The washer… it was so nice and our clothes smelled so clean. Some Airbnb’s don’t clean their washers and they smell, I hate that. Not this one! Oh also. The candles! We love candles and love that they had placed them in every room :-) We had the best time, and can’t wait to go back! Anand and his wife are the sweetest most kind people, they were super responsive and there to help any way they could! Thank you for sharing your home with us! We will definitely be back!
