It was a wonderful stay. There was enough room for all of our family and friends to have their own space. The kitchen was well appointed and the accommodations were in a wonderful location. The neighborhood was quiet during quiet hours. It was wonderful.

The place was perfect for our family of 5. Incredibly convenient to Churchill Downs and the Expo Center. It’s basically 2 properties combined into one…upstairs and downstairs units each have 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a kitchen. Very clean and well decorated. We will definitely stay here again if we ever come back. Thanks!

The rooms were clean, theonly thing i did not like was that all the cookware and utensils were non-stick teflon coated with a million scratches on it and the cutting board was also plastic.

Charismatic and perfect location

This place was perfectly located for our volleyball tournament at the expo center. We could see Churchill downs from our window and we enjoyed running around it! It was clean, spacious, and allowed space for each of mother/daughter to have its own bedroom and bathroom. We would highly recommend this place and will be returning next volleyball tournament!

Perfect for the Derby

The perfect location for the Derby! Our host was amazing - lots of special touches and gifts - everything we could have wanted. It is on the backside of the track so definitely best for people who are attending events at Churchill Downs or love racing, but it's such a retreat inside - decorated beautifully, outfitted with everything we needed. We loved it.
