It was clean and convenient and reasonable for what we were trying to do this weekend. We were trying to go to the derby and the hotels are so expensive and we found this and we felt very lucky.

This is a cool loft. Great spot in downtown area. Easy access to sites and all the locations we needed to get to.
The place was clean and delightful.
The building and the area, surprisingly quiet. I expected more street noise; our stay was Thurs to Monday. The building is part businesses and part residential, this could have added to the peaceful tone of the building.
It's industrial and cool.
The owner was quickly responsive to questions and proactive communication. He went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable.
Great place. If I'm in Louisville again, this would be at the top of my list.
Only thing I struggled with was check in. It would have been easier earlier in the day, unfortunately with my flight, I arrived at midnight and it was raining. Trying to locate the lockbox, I didn't realize it was a touch screen. Once this was discovered, the instructions were spot on. I'm old school so it took me a bit to figure that out. Clunky start but very minor compared to the perks of the place.
