About this apartment rental
Summary:
Welcome to the Old Louisville Carriage House! Your own private getaway in the middle of the largest collection of Victorian homes in the country. This carriage house was built at the turn of the century as part of the Speed Mansion (the first house in Louisville to have a telephone) at the corner of Garvin Place and Ormsby. It has been fully renovated to accommodate guests looking for a little piece of the Derby City charm.
The Space:
Walk upstairs to an open floor kitchen/living room with lots of natural light, a nook dining area, and a large TV. Newly renovated kitchen includes dishwasher, oven, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and a range of cooking supplies. A bedroom with two twin beds shares a bathroom with a queen bedroom. Queen bedrooms all have white noise machines. Downstairs houses the master bedroom and private bathroom as well as a fully stocked laundry area. Guests also have access to a garage, if needed, where you can store a small, possibly mid-sized vehicle. A serene English-style private courtyard that is shared with both units is the perfect place to unwind. Solar walkway lighting illuminates the courtyard at night.
Parking:
The garage can house a small to medium sized car - additional parking is available for free on the street, which is a block up from the alley.
Proximity:
Downtown / International convention center - 2 miles
Expo Center / Fairgrounds / Kentucky Kingdom - 4.5 miles
Airport - 5.7 miles
Churchill Downs - 2.8 miles
The Neighborhood:
Old Louisville is the largest concentration of preserved Victorian style homes in the United States! It's an eclectic and exciting area with great sights to take in and close proximity to entertainment!

Was a great place lots of character. Was not difficult to get it the gate and was very icy in the driveway entrance. Some minor repairs would do this place well

Instructions for codes and times and directions were all very clear. House was exactly as expected. Loved the fact that the place was historic.
6 / 10Average·Feb 2026
Have I stayed in worse, yes. Would I stay here again or recommend, no.Let me explain:1. Yes, like some reviews state the house is hard to find. No biggie. You are basically in 2 alley ways so there is no “street side frontage”. Was fine but the garage was super tiny and if you had to park on the street, it would be hard to find a spot. Additionally, I can’t imagine how you would ever do any food delivery etc. Does it look super safe, no but we had absolutely no issue there.2. The house was simply not clean to our standards. Wet, not damp, but wet towels were placed on every bed so we had to launder them before using. The carpets need replacing and are horribly dirty. Living room chair had mystery stains and the floors did not feel like that they had been swept.3. The downstairs shower majorly leaks and is obvious it’s done it for while since there was visible water damage. 4. The downstairs bedroom is freezing! I realize it’s an old house but at least provide a space heater unit to keep some warmth down there. 5. No light at the steps going to the garage which is super dark and slightly dangerous on the steps. 6. Blinds are needed to dim the lights in all bedrooms not sheer curtains. There is a ton of light streaming in from the alley way. 7. Biggest issue for us was the owner did not communicate at all - only automated canned responses and no answer to our direct messages about check in etc.
