We met up with a friend to enjoy some activities in Louisville, a first for us. Anand’s place was just as described and we had a wonderful 2 night stay with early check-in. The house was a very cool 125 year old building with lovely historical features, with updated amenities and fun lighting! The beds and furniture were very comfortable. Its location to the city was superb, with fabulous restaurants (go eat at Guacamole!) just around the corner, and a quick easy drive to the theater and museums. Anand suggested several local activities, there is much to see and do here. The backyard was great for our dogs and having parking was super convenient. Would definitely stay here again.

Anand was quite gracious with some unexpected family members (and our dog!) driving through Louisville on a separate trip. He let me change the reservation with ease despite the last-minute notification. Everything about our stay was amazing, especially all the LED lights, which our kids thought was super cool. We especially loved the 5-minute walk to restaurants and shopping. We would stay again - highly recommend!

This place was absolutely amazing and in a walkable distance to Nulu! Even if you wanted to go to different area of time his location was central and we did not spend a lot of time in the car traveling around. His place was beautiful and the decor was beautiful! Anand was the perfect host! His responses were so quick I couldn’t keep up with how fast he responded.

A five star experience. Places like this are so much better than booking a hotel. The bed was overly comfortable. I almost asked the mattress brand but I would never get out of bed. Advice: schedule your first day for lounging at the house. It is its own vacation spot. I loved this house and Anand was gracious. A++.
