The house was beautiful and the owners very responsive. The bedrooms were all very large, and the house is very centrally located, with a cute little area at the end of the street with a pizza shop, restaurant, and wine bar. There is a little bit of blight in the neighborhood, but for the most part it was very cute.

We booked the property for the days preceding my daughter’s wedding in Cynthiana. We have other family who live in Lexington and this house was close to them. We weren’t bothered by the trains. The house was well appointed. Upstairs was a little warm, but the fans kept us comfortable while we were up there. Some of the houses on that street were run down, but we felt safe. Communication with the host was seamless and they responded quickly. We’d stay again in the future if we needed a place in Lexington.

CATS getaway

The house was very cute and nicely decorated. The upstairs AC did not work very well. The train was right behind the house and would run at least once an hour or more. If you are headed to Kroger field for the football games, it's in a great location.

Nearly perfect!

We’ve stayed in a lot of short term rentals and this property was by far one of the nicest! Beautiful remodel of an older home that is close to everything. Very well appointed. Great for our family of seven. Our only hesitation in making this our “Spot” when we visit home is the train traffic. In fairness, we knew there would be trains, but just didn’t expect the frequency or their horns as they approach the crossing at the top of the street. You don’t know ‘til you know!

Great space, noisy location

The house is in a convenient location, and the space, amenities, layout, everything about The Spot was comfortable except for the noise. The tracks are directly behind the property and the train noise itself isn’t so bad, but because the house is located near the intersection, the train whistle blows each time it goes by. The train is mentioned in the description, but I do wish I’d known it would wake me up multiple times each night.

Excellent location for all things Lexington

The Spot has a very homey feel and in a quaint area of Lexington. We did have a small hiccup later in the evening but the hosts corrected it as soon as possible, and that is why I am able to give an Excellent rating. The one thing that should be mentioned is being so close to the train tracks. Unfortunately, the trains run all night long and since the house is so close to a street intersection, they blow the horns. The hosts provide sound machines and fans for each room, which definitely help, but if you are light sleeper, you will want to bring ear plugs. The location is amazing to get around Lexington. We were able to walk to the stadium and many great restaurants are within 10 minutes. The hosts communication was attentive and made us feel valued.
