The Space

This two-story, two-bedroom, one-bath apartment sits on the second floor of a historic Baxter Avenue building and sleeps up to six. The main level has a compact, well-equipped kitchen with a private patio right off it, a living room, and the king bedroom. A staircase leads up to the converted attic level, where you’ll find two memory-foam queen beds with games a great setup for kids, friends, or anyone who wants their own space.

The patio is a genuine perk in this neighborhood: your own outdoor spot for coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening, just off the kitchen and steps from everything Baxter Avenue has going on.

Staying in? Stream your favorite shows on Hulu, Disney+, or ESPN. Heading out? Some of Louisville’s best restaurants, pubs, and coffee shops are a short walk away in the heart of the Highlands.

Guest Access

Guests have full access to the entire two-story apartment and the private patio off the kitchen.

The Neighborhood

Baxter Avenue is one of Louisville’s liveliest stretches, and you’re right in the middle of it. Long-standing Irish pubs, local restaurants, craft cocktail bars, and excellent coffee are all within a few minutes’ walk. Cave Hill Cemetery’s beautiful grounds are nearby for a quiet morning stroll, and downtown and NuLu are both a short drive. If you want to be where the energy is, this is the block.

Getting Around

Plenty is walkable from the door. To explore beyond the Highlands, driving or a rideshare is easiest — Uber and Lyft are readily available in the area, and the bus line runs along Baxter.

Good to Know — Please Read Before Booking

This is a historic building, and part of its charm comes with some quirks we want you to know about upfront:

Stairs. The apartment is on the second floor with no elevator in the building, so you’ll use stairs to get in. Inside, a second staircase leads up to the attic-level bedroom. That interior staircase can feel like narrow and steep, typical of the era, and may be difficult for guests with mobility concerns or for carrying luggage.

Low ceiling upstairs. The upstairs bedroom is a converted attic space with a low, sloped ceiling. It’s comfortable and cozy, but taller guests should expect to duck in places.

Compact kitchen. The kitchen is on the smaller side, as is typical in a building of this age. It’s fully equipped for cooking, but counter space is limited if you’re planning elaborate meals.

Sound. You may occasionally hear birds nesting in the eaves — completely harmless, just part of an old building, but we want you to expect it rather than be startled. And because you’re steps from Baxter Avenue’s bars and restaurants, weekend nights can be lively until the bars close around 2–3 AM. We provide a white noise machine, and it makes a real difference but if total quiet is essential to your trip, this may not be the right fit.

Off-street parking is available in a gravel pad behind the building. This is a non-smoking property, and we aren’t able to accommodate pets, though service animals are always welcome.

Interaction with Guests

I like to give guests their space, but I’m always just a call or message away and happy to help.
