Best Airbnb location in Louisville, KY?

Hello all,

I was wondering where do you think the best location for an Airbnb would be in Louisville KY? Currently I operate one by Churchill Downs and it does okay there, but I think I could do a lot better if I was closer to say the Highlands or NULU. The only complaint I really get from some of my guests is that there isn't much to do around my property but go to Churchill Downs. I'd like to keep the purchase price of the house below $200,000 with very little renovations needed. Just curious on your thoughts. Thanks

    @Fredie Robinson - I think you hit the nail on the head with great locations.  The problem is that you're going to have a hard time finding a sub-$200K turnkey house in those areas, especially if they are within walking distance to happening spots.

    You might check out some of the streets in Clifton neighborhood off of Frankfort Ave (near Silver Dollar).  There are a lot of smaller to mid-sized homes and the neighborhoods are more transitional/affordable than NuLu/Highlands
