Cozy 1-bedroom apt in Victorian Era House minutes walking to Downtown Lexington

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was fantastic. Cute and cozy! Immaculately clean and well decorated! Comfortable bed and well stocked kitchen. The property is located in the historic district and walkable to the downtown area and to restaurants and a brewery. The host, Carrera, was very responsive and had helpful recommendations for restaurants. Easy check in and check out. I would stay here again."

Elwood Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was a beautiful hotel & room right in town. Loved our king room so much. The staff was amazing & so friendly. The breakfast was very good. The only issue is the parking. You can park on the street where there’s no open spaces or valet park. So you have to valet park. Daily charge to park plus tipping your valet. They also don’t tell you that up front."
