Luxe Distillery District - 2BR - Patio-Garage - DTWN - Rupp

10/10 Excellent

"The location was great for our trip. The property was very clean and nicely furnished, and the horse racing touches were well done. We enjoyed sitting on the upstairs patio in the evenings. If you are a light sleeper bring earplugs, as the trains and traffic noise took a few nights to get used to. We were fine with it, but be aware that the two sets of stairs are steep. We will definitely stay again and recommend to others"
