My first week in Louisville, Kentucky I stayed in a hotel so I could check out some apartment options in person. I didn’t like the ones that were suggested to me through the agency because they were either really old, had wall a/c or heater units (which wont heat up the place well during winter), or were too far from work (too far being more than 20 minutes).
The physicians I work with had tons of suggestions, but most of the places they recommended did not offer short term rentals. Luckily, one of the places that was recommended to me offered 3 month leases and could furnish the place at a corporate rate. I ended up moving forward with this place because it’s on the river, so you have nice views and beautiful walking trails. It is also only 10 minutes from work.
The 1 bedroom/1 bath unit is also very spacious and modern. I liked the gym facilities and how the amenities room even has a piano. Most importantly the unit has a washer and dryer – something I have grown to appreciate the more I travel. And there is garage parking – which is something else I appreciate when living in cold weather because you wont have to shovel snow or scrape ice off your car.
Below are some pictures of my place. I always like to share my accommodations so other traveling nurse practitioners can know what to expect. Keep in mind even the towels, bed linen, silverware, TV etc are provided.
