This is a very nice place. I thought I’d hear street traffic, but didn’t at all. I also thought that parking in the street may be an issue, but there was always room to park. Inside is very nice, I loved the industrial look. Also, Bill’s communication was very prompt-the app was the frustrating part in that regard. If there was one thing, we stayed for 3 nights, I wish there would’ve been more than 1 1/3 rolls of toilet paper on site. When I’d asked where it was, the response was “Kroger.” While it definitely wasn’t the end of the world, I had to run to the grocery store in the morning and hadn’t thought I’d have to go get a basic supply. Other than that, the stay was perfect!

Renovated single home with room for a couple to relax. Kitchen fully equiped. Washer and dryer added value for extended stay. Nice neighborhood.

Nice place and convenient location. Owner decides the temperature and will not let it get above or below a certain temperature. Had two nights of poor sleep due to this. Was there for an event so it did not go as well as it could have.

We booked this property due to its proximity to Lucas Oil Stadium and the ICC- convention center. It did not disappoint. We walked into downtown every day without the hassle of finding parking. The neighborhood was quiet and street parking was available next to the house. The property manager was responsive to inquiries and accommodations. The popcorn, bottled water, and K cups were very appreciated. We’re a family of 5 so we did use the pull out sofa bed and air mattress. There is plenty of floor space for the air mattress and pull out. The air mattress was not holding air by the morning but for our small son- it was fine. I would not count on it working for teens or adults however. Thank you!

As I stated on the google review… you won’t find a better property in Indy. Such a cute place. Bill was phenomenal on getting back with questions. I will absolutely stay here again… and the neighbors were really sweet people!!

We absolutely loved our stay here! Everything about the house was perfect for us. The location was really great for anything we wanted to do in the downtown area. The decor is very cute and cozy. We loved the huge shower and the comfortable king sized bed. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cookware so we could make dinner. We will definitely stay here again if visiting Indy and will recommend to friends and family. Communication with the host was also great. Thank you!

While the studio has been updated and all amenities are as described, it could have been deep cleaned better. The bathroom is very small and difficult to maneuver when two people are trying to get ready at the same time. The towels provided smelled musty. The bed frame (while goes with the theme of the studio) was made from pallets. The neighborhood was quiet but a few “city noises” kept us awake at night. Again not the owners fault, but want to make anyone considering this VRBO, you will definitely hear sirens and trains. The location was perfect for our short trip to IUPUI and many local restaurants. A larger coffee pot also would have been nice to have, but the Keurig was convenient.

This was such a cute little place to stay. I loved how it was set up. It was so perfect for what we needed it for. My only complaint was that the hot water heater didn’t work. We would have about 2-3 min of hot water and then it would stop. We tried the recommendations that were suggested, but it didn’t work. Having a hot shower would’ve given this place the last star.

The house was perfect for my daughter and I. We were in town for a softball tournament and wanted to avoid the high cost of hotels. The house was very clean and had a unique vibe that we loved. Bill was wonderful to communicate with and was extremely helpful in the check in and check out process. The neighborhood is up and coming with many of the homes around being renovated. Would definitely stay again!! Thank you!

This home was exactly what we needed! The house was extremely cute, very clean, and the location was perfect. The neighborhood is definitely on the rise with many of the homes being updated. You can tell that many of the streets are this way. Definitely up and coming. The street was clean and even the neighbors were friendly! We felt very safe. We enjoyed our stay very much, communication was excellent, and if we ever find ourselves in the area again, we will definitely use this place!

Place was clean, modern and comfortable. The neighborhood was nice, quiet and felt very safe. Our only complaint was with the shower. The water was hot for only about 5 minutes. My wife wound up taking a quick luke warm shower. I would recommend for a short or long term stay.

This was the perfect house for a weekend getaway for my wife and I. The furnishings and very comfy bed were outstanding. It is well appointed and just as described in the listing. Downtown Indianapolis has a lot to offer and we were literally 5 minutes from everything. This neighborhood is absolutely on the upswing and the meticulous care given to this home and many others in the area are wonderful. We will definitely stay again in the future when we visit Indy. Next time we will rent some scooters and explore more. 5 Stars for sure!!

Stayed here for my 40th birthday weekend trip! Loved everything about this place! Super cute!!! Quiet neighborhood, super close to downtown! Spend Friday night out on the town & Saturday evening at a concert @ Lucas oil stadium. Easy to uber/lyft anywhere you wanna go! Would definitely stay here again when i come back to Indy! One very small suggestion... Need another mirror for women to get ready! Only mirror was in the bathroom & hard to share w two girls getting ready w makeup, hair etc. A full length mirror somewhere in the house would have been perfect!!

This little house is cute and cozy. We had all the staples we needed. The bed is comfy and the sheets are soft (yet they didn’t smell like bleach 😊) Everything was clean. Great location. Very convenient to downtown Indy. Perfect for a weekend getaway for two.

I was beyond impressed with this place! I could not get over how quiet it was. The neighborhood is located near Fountain Square and within a reasonable distance to much of Downtown Indy. Bill made sure to communicate efficiently with all that I needed to know for my stay. I will definitely recommend to anyone wanting a little getaway with the convenience of Downtown. The interior is charming, the rainfall shower heavenly and the bed absolutely comfortable. The space was absolutely perfect for my partner and I and we loved how cozy it was!

Sweet and cozy, super cute decor and cozy bed and linens!! It had everything I needed for my weekend retreat. Bill was great to work with, checked in to let me know he was available if I needed anything and was great to send specific instructions for all the ins and outs of the property. 💜

I stayed here for the Indianapolis marathon and it was a perfect location. Just barely outside the city and easy access to everything! The house is nice and clean and very easy in and out. Plenty of parking and no issues! Surrounding neighborhood is nice and up and coming. Definitely would recommend!!

My daughter and I was In Indianapolis for weekend for FFA Conference. It was a quick and convenient area to the Lucas oil Stadium. Area was quiet . Wish had tad more parking but no big deal.

Came in for a football game and concert. We had very pleasant stay. We have stayed in this area for a trip last year. Highly recommend easy location for downtown. Pearl Street pizza and Shapiro's deli were both independent (Indy) restaurants and amazing. The concert venue was easy access from Orange Street.

I’m a long-time southsider, and know the area well. Glad to see the revitalization. Neighbors were great. Easy access to downtown, Lilly, grocery store, everything. I enjoyed staying here.

Disappointing is an understatement
Drove to property and did not stay there. The area was “up and coming” according to owner. The owner came across aggressive when defending his neighborhood when I questioned his listing after looking it up on Google Earth. Only got address after I paid. The owner will probably do very well with this investment buying very early in the neighborhood that is starting to change. Maybe one in 7 houses that have been remodeled. However the representation of this area was not communicated or represented accurately at all with a complete lack of discloser and transparency. For anyone not familiar with the city would have no idea what the neighborhood is like. I did not see any coffee shops, restaurants or a brewery as advertised as well. If this is depicted accurately then any consumer can make an informed decision. Had I seen the old smoke stacks and trailer for a roofing company parked in the side yard next door to the property and the overgrown front yard I would not have chosen the property. Incredibly misleading. The owner has not offered any money back at all even the cleaning fees that are not applicable since I never stepped foot in the property. I told the owner to change the code as I will not be staying there. He just replies “ What happened”.
When I called VRBO and shared this experience they offered me the owners number and only suggested to call him. An acquaintance had an experience where the area was not represented accurately like mine with AB+B they refunded 100%. A very different experience with VRBO.
