About this house rental
Discover the Charming 2 Bedroom Home by BNB Louisville: Welcome to our home in the wonderful neighborhood of Schnitzelburg. This charming updated 2 bedroom 2 bath home is just minutes from Downtown, U of L, the Highlands, and the Airport. Germantown/Schnitzelburg is not only centrally located but also perhaps the most sustainable in Louisville. Walk (or bike) to numerous restaurants, bars, grocery store all close by. Relax on the porch or stroll Emerson park gardens and truly soak in the sense of community this historic and unique town has to offer.
Our home features the original hardwood flooring, transom windows, raised ceilings/doorways with most of the original trim-work. We’ve added on the master spa bathroom featuring heated floors and towel rack and large modern glass enclosed shower. All super high end.
The master bedroom is spacious with plenty of drawer and closet space to make yourself at home. Luxury linens and comfy bedding too.
And in the second bedroom - a surprise queen Murphy bed that folds away to transform the space into a yoga retreat or bonus work space as needed.
An added bonus for guests is in the kitchen - we have lots of gadgets and several coffee/tea making devices to suit your preference. We even provide a Nespresso for you so feel free to indulge.
One of the best features is the location just in front of Emerson Park (and Community Garden). This was the site of a former school house transformed into a community space. We have since given up our plot in the garden but feel free to wander about or sit and enjoy the green space. Many of our neighbors have plots there and it truly brings to life the meaning of community gardening.

Cute little shotgun house in the Germantown neighborhood steps from Emerson Park. The hosts were wonderful, the check-in process was easy, and the house was perfect for my parents and me. Updated interior, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, and very nice neighbors! The location is close to downtown and convenient to most anywhere else you'd like to go via Eastern Parkway. Great value for the money. We'll definitely stay again when we visit family who live nearby.

I almost hesitate to share this, as I’d like the place to be available the next time I’m in town, but this is a fabulous rental! Clean, well-appointed kitchen, attractively decorated, comfortable, backyard for our pups, walkable neighborhood, good communication with host, protective neighbors to ensure feeling safe, outdoor space to sit with coffee or a drink, close to Louisville entertainment. We hope to return!

A very charming house and neighborhood! The little park that is literally right next door was perfect for walking my dogs. Everything in the house was clean and up to date

10.0 / 10.0
This house was located in a good spot to easily access the Louisville area. It was well stocked with pots and pans and dishes and little amenities like coffee, tea, dishwasher and laundry soft, etc. The place was very clean and cozy. The street parking can be a little tight, but overall this place was great. I would definitely stay there again!

We were in town for a basketball tournament and the house was perfect. Great location and offered everything we needed. Communication was great and checkin/out was easy.
6.0 / 10.0
The house is nice and clean. It is within walking distance of a few restaurants. However, the house is listed as 2br/2ba. The guest bathroom does not have a working shower. It has a sink, toilet, and bathtub only. The shower does not work. I never heard back from the realtor when I emailed about it. Otherwise, the house is nice and is as explained in the listing.

One of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was labeled, especially light switches, which was incredibly handy. The place was spacious. I also enjoyed the fenced in backyard. The master bathroom was my absolute favorite. Heated floors and huge shower jet assembly. I also have never stayed in a place that was so well stocked with appliances, cookware, and coffee/tea selections.

A perfect property for a long weekend friend-cation in Louisville. The house is comfortable and quiet with thoughtful amenities. The master bedroom's en suite bathroom with waterfall/jet wall shower and washer/dryer was delightful. Kitchen was great to use as well. Location felt safe and perfect for exploring the Olmstead Parks, NuLu, and other Louisville points of interest. We had a better time on this trip because of our rental choice. The hosts were proactive and clear at check-in and check-out.

My husband, pup and I truly enjoyed our weekend stay. The house is very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Willow also enjoyed her walks at the neighborhood park!

My family stayed here to attend a concert at Yum! Stadium. A pleasant surprise when leaving the concert was that all of the stadium traffic was headed in the opposite direction so going in and out of the event was a short and consistent 8 minute drive. The house was very clean and as described. Nice front and back porch foe nicer days and great shower in the master. Beds were comfortable. Great communication from owners. Loved the neighborhood (felt safe) - walking distance to a couple bars, restaurant, and coffee shop. Green space/small park as well. We also visited the Louisville zoo which was also a very short drive away.

The washer had mold in it. The beds are horrible. The sofa needs to be replaced. It’s very uncomfortable. The pictures show two red chairs in living area yet they were not there so photos should be updated. The sheets on the Murphy bed were not clean!! The house is in a great location. I am in property management and someone should be following up on the cleaning of this unit. There is no tv in the master. The internet is extremely SLOOOOW! Yet, you are to use the TV to stream. So watching tv in downtime is a no go! Watching tv in the master is a no go because there is not one. There is a mount for a tv yet no tv. There is construction going on across the street so banging all day. Some guy came up and said he was supposed to get the mail for the owner. So, I am assuming the owners live here by all of their clothes being present and rent the property and go stay somewhere else when rented. My mom said her pillows smelled horrible like dirty hair or sweat. Not Impressed at ALL!

Home was very clean and super cute. It was close to out event. Listing was very accurate. Loved the little neighborhood/community! We would definitely stay there again if we make our way back to Louiseville!

Quaint, cozy, very clean, in an eclectic part of town. Feels like home away from home. Check out the bunnies in the garden behind the house or beer at the brewery around the corner- something for everyone.

A great home away from home
The house was very clean and provided everything we needed to feel "at home." The kitchen was amazingly equipped, and the master bath a real treat. We loved touring the community gardens and park adjacent to the property.

Family vacation
Beautiful home. The home was well maintained and super clean. The host thought of everything. Most rentals you need to bring extra supplies like toilet paper and such but this home they had extra of everything. If you forget anything they have it. Easy check in/out. Would definitely stay here again!!!

Everything was great
The house is furnished with comforts of home including coffee pods, and I appreciated the organic products throughout. The neighbors are nice and I enjoyed walking to the community garden. It was the perfect location to our event at UL and the area has amazing local food. Thank you for a great stay.

Spacious, comfortable and impressive. Great neighborhood
Really enjoyed our stay here.
My first impression is that the house is much larger than it appeared in the VRBO add. Both bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with plenty of space to store your things. Two full bathrooms. The house has a real presonality reflective of the owners who seem very proud to host people there. It also has some of the best water I've ever had. Seriously. The ammenities are tremendous including quality teas and Nespresso coffee. The back deck is great for sitting with a morning drink. I simply loved the waterfall shower.
The neighborhood is very quiet and there is a community garden accross the street. The yard is not big, but was good for our dog having a place to explore. The house is close to just about everything (all things always seemed about two miles away) including downtown, Churchhill Downs and other attractions, restaurants and shopping areas. There is a greta brewery, Monnik, right around the corner that has great beer and food.
The street the house is on is small and parking is tight. Some days the area in front of the house had someone else parked in it, but we just parked down the street usually less than 100 feet from the front door. But I did get into the habit of coming into the neighborhood on the side of the street facing the house, as turning around was tight.
When we got there, there was a lot of opened food in the refrigerator including some half-eaten takeout food that probably should have been cleaned out. It was not a big deal, just mentioning because we weren't sure if we should throw it away or not and didn't want to think that is was left by us.
I would not hesitate to stay here again as a couple or with another couple.

Would Stay Again!
The property was very comfortable. The updates to the kitchen and bathrooms were excellent. It was a relief to stay somewhere that actually provided enough amenities for our stay instead of the typical 1/2 roll of toilet paper and no dish soap! Our group was myself, my wife, our daughter (8) and our dog. Everyone was comfortable! The neighborhood was friendly and was very accessible to local restaurants as well as the expressways. We contacted the owner/manager with one question about the property and they replied with the answer within minutes. If we are in Louisville again, we would definitely stay here another time!

Would stay here again
The house was perfect for our 5 adult family and was exactly as pictured online. Nice neighbors. The neighborhood felt safe and had a quaint feel. We loved the local restaurants and the location in general. We stayed here for Derby weekend. Would love to stay again when we have more time to enjoy the house, bikes and neighborhood!

Location, location, location~!
Wonderful property close to everything that Louisville has to offer. This house was perfect for 2 couples. Immaculately clean, very well stocked, comfortable with nice bedding and towels. We had a wonderful and comfortable stay - even enjoyed some of the walkable restaurants! It is a nice quiet family neighborhood. Would definitely consider staying at this property again when we come back to Kentucky. Thanks for a lovely week!

Relaxing Stay Near Louisville
My husband and I stayed at this property for a spring getaway. The owner gave us clear check-in instructions and followed up to ensure everything went well with our stay. This house is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood within 10 minutes to downtown Louisville. Everything was very clean and the accommodations were very cozy. The house had all the amenities we needed and the bed was comfortable. It's a great place to stay if you're looking at exploring Louisville, but want to stay somewhere with peace and quiet.
8.0 / 10.0
Too much cleaning!!
The house was located in a nice area and looks like the pictures. It could've been a little cleaner, lots of hairs left in the bathrooms. The part we didn't like is what was expected when checking out. You have to start laundry, strip the beds, take the trash out, and wash any dishes. You are expected to clean the master bathroom shower glass every time you use it. I'm not really sure why I paid a cleaning fee.

Amazing Place
My family and I very happy with this place. Amazing experience all around. Location, places to eat, neighborhood and host communication at all times. Very happy, definitely would pick this place again.
