Derby Time! Highlands Home with View of Downtown Walkable.

This condo is in the heart of the popular Highlands neighborhood. Steps away from restaurants, bars, and shops on Baxter Ave and Bardstown Road. We offer two off street parking spaces. One is contained in a gated area and the other is an off street space along the side of the building. This condo is three stories with two private patios overlooking Baxter Ave! Just minutes away from downtown Louisville and Churchill Downs - Home of the Kentucky Derby. Centrally located.

You enter the condo on the second floor from a private terrace. The second floor contains 1 bedroom with a queen size bed, the living room, and kitchen. If you go down one flight of stairs to the first floor you will find a large bedroom with two queen beds and attached walk in closet and full bathroom. Down the hall is a half bath. On the third floor you will find a bedroom with a king bed and private bathroom. The laundry room with a washer and dryer is also on the third floor along with a second terrace that provides great views. Enjoy the ping pong table or people watching.

Please note that this property overlooks popular Baxter Ave. This is a big draw for most staying with us as it is within walking distance of many bars and restaurants. However due to this there is also the potential for noise. We do provide sound machines to help drown this out.

Great property, very clean with ample amenities including off street parking and easy access to interstate. Our host was wonderful. The bittersweet experience is that there are multiple restaurants nearby which is a blessing and a curse. Great dining and cocktails within walking distance but unfortunately it was quite loud after 10 PM, mostly from loud muscle cars. Overall, still a great property and we would definitely stay here again.

Stay on Baxter

Location was great and convenient to plenty of food options and bars. Can be a bit loud lat on the weekends due to the bar across the street and motorcycles on Baxter, but war plugs were provided and did the trick. Only other issues noticed was the oven didn’t work and one of the burners on the stove wouldn’t light, but these were not an issue for us as we just cooked on one burner. The unit is very spacious and feels like home.

Perfect for Family When Visiting

My family stayed here while visiting me in Louisville. Lovely space that was the perfect place to relax all together and then after dinner was easy to walk to several bars along Bardstown!

Family stay to Louisville

Had to find a place to stay with family to celebrate another family member who had recently moved to Louisville. The location was fun and vibrant, close to many of the places we needed and wanted to go downtown and it was a great place to gather for a bit with others who were in town for the week. Really enjoyed the place and will be staying there again!

Great location for a group of friends to stay. Walking distance to food and bars and a quick Uber to downtown. Laura was very responsive to all our questions. We had a great time and should we head back to Louisville its very likely we'd rent the same place again.

Parade weekend

We chose a weekend and chose this Vrbo. And then found out if was St Pats weekend. Oooh Boy! Did we have a blast! We walked around the neighborhood, found coffee shops and restaurants. Then the parade on Saturday. I never want to watch a parade any other way. We watched from above, with snacks and a bathroom. Perfection. The Vrbo had everything we needed. All in all it was a great weekend!

Great space in a great location

We enjoyed being in such close proximity to all the happenings on Baxter Ave, and had more than enough space for three of us. The noise of the evening revelry and the walk up to the unit and up and down to bedrooms and bathrooms within the unit were accurately described in the listing. All in all we had a good stay in a super cool part of Louisville!

Nice location, great host.

This property is exactly what is looks like on VRBO. We had a group of 8 and the place slept our group just fine for the occasion. The area is loud late at night but comes with the convenience of the property. After our stay, someone left an expensive personal belonging and the host made sure to get it shipped back to us right away. Would stay here again.

Know before you stay

Owner nice and responsive. Convenient drive to downtown. Property is on a street lined with bars. Cars drag racing, car alarms, people shouting - past 2 am every night. Brutal. Property is worn. Couch had multiple stains. Entrance is up poorly lit stairs - not conducive for night time or an elderly person. Lamp in bedroom on night stand with no switch to turn it on. Technically only 1 bedroom as the other 2 bedrooms do not have closets so no place to hang your clothes. The main for has a sleeping room but no bathroom on the floor. Have to go up or down stairs to get to a bathroom. In addition to other peoples private hairs on bathroom floors and in tubs. Wood rot under main entrance door. Trashy looking. Overall this property needs a good cleaning and maintenance.

Impressed from Day 1.

What a fantastic stay. The hosts were very accomodating and the condo was great. Great neighborhood with lots of food and drink choices. Great night life and cool vibe. Lot's of comfort in the condo from coffee pods with sugar/cream to shampoo/conditioner in the showers. Laundry had flings as well when we needed a clean set of clothes. Access to the building was great. Highly recommend staying here and Laura gave great recommendations for places to eat and drink.
