Convenient Location

We came for BOA Grand Nationals so it was very convenient while having to go back and forth to the stadium. Host was very kind and offered many recommendations. Shapiros deli was delicious and we were able to have Aldi groceries delivered.

Wonderful old house

I was in Indianapolis for a convention and stayed at this property. It was everything as listed. I really enjoyed the personality and furnishings of the older home and thoroughly enjoyed my stay for almost a week in Indianapolis. The home was clean and comfortable situated in an area that was perfect for my time in Indy

Great spot close to Lucas Oil

We were in town for the Olympic Trials at Lucas Oil, and Zach’s Place was perfect! It could not be more convenient - super close to the stadium, and walking distance to restaurants and more downtown. With a couple parking spots it was great to get to/from the airport, too. Laura was super helpful, and made check in and out a breeze. Plus she sent along some recommendations for things to do, places to eat, etc. The house had everything we needed, and the decor was so unique. Loved it, and will definitely be back if we’re in Indy again.

Absolutely best place to stay in indy hands down.

This place was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. having parking on site saves hundreds of dollars. The parking across the street was super convenient. The place smelled like grandma's house and it was extremely clean. The beds were just like home adn I slept like a baby each night. I'd pay double to stay here again. V/R Jon

Zach's Place in Downtown Indy

Perfect location in downtown Indy. Within walking distance to many fun places. We particularly enjoyed Ellison Brewing and also the Slippery Noodle Bar. Plenty of room for my wife and teen. Free downtown parking, three toilets, a tub/shower, full kitchen, two beds, and a relaxing porch made for a nice stay. If we visit Indy again we will definitely consider staying again.

Historic Indy Getaway

My family and I stayed here for a few nights over my birthday weekend. The house is absolutely gorgeous and we really enjoyed our stay. The house is very close to everything that downtown Indy has to offer. Lucas Oil Stadium is a couple of blocks away. Parking is a little tight in the back, but that's expected in an urban, downtown location. When we return to Indy, we hope to stay in this wonderful home again!

a gem hidden next to the Lucas Oil Stadium

We have attended the Big Ten basketball Tournament about half of a dozen times. We stayed in several hotels and vacation homes, and this is by far the best of all! The house is 5 blocks away from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and is spacious and comfortable for a family of 3 and 2 dogs. The kitchen is very functional, allowing us to have home meals while traveling. The bedrooms are comfortable after a whole of activity. We absolutely love the porch swing! We hope to stay at this location again when we go back to Indianapolis for future Big Ten Tournament!

Better than Billed!

Perfect for us! The house is tucked into a business area, a ten minute walk to the Indiana Convention Center, where we were attending an event. So many delightful touches throughout the house, the restoration was obviously done with thought, taste and care. Clean, easy to check in, and we were able to host other event attendees for small in house lunches that turned into hours of sharing aroind the antique dining table. Alarm was easy to use and added a level of security which i appreciated. Compared to a hotel, restaurant meals and parking at a Convention Center hotel, I think we either broke even or came out ahead financially. Being able to have a true home away from home was a blessing.

Unforeseen Circumstances

Laura was very communicative, responsive, and accommodating. When we found out that a family member had passed and we needed to return home, Laura was gracious in not only offering condolences, but also refunding 75% of our package. The home was lovely, and we enjoyed the accommodations in our short stay. We WILL stay at Zach's Place again and would highly recommend it to anyone.

2nd time at the property and still fabulous

My family and I stayed in this wonderful property again- after another short stay earlier this year. Very beautiful yet functional - can definitely tell there is much thought to the artistry throughout the house as well as a focus on comfort and functionality. Thanks to the owner and manager that made our stay in Indy extra special.

Why they chose this property

When I moved to Indianapolis, I was looking for a historic Victorian property that I could afford, restore and was downtown. I found this wonderful place that also had investment opportunities because I could divide the rear spaces into the long term townhomes. I restored the house myself, including the townhomes, even thought people thought I was crazy at the time. It's been a labor of love!
