I can tell you from my experience having lived in this house that every room and every area feels like an experience. Every window from every angle has a special view. I love this house so much. Most importantly the intangible, the house feels amazing! I’m so happy to be able to share this house with all my guests.

Here are some of our favorite places nearby

1. The canal is gorgeous and a MUST on your things to do list. It is about an hour and fifteen minutes around and I would recommend seeing the whole thing since it's so beautiful and has such a variety of scenery. Hungry? I recommend the Burgerhous restaurant right on the canal. They have wonderful burgers and good pescetarian and vegetarian options.

2. I would highly recommend a walk down to Massachusetts Avenue (also called Mass Avenue). 

3. Monument Circle is also a must see. 

4. Indianapolis museum of art has nice exhibits and beautiful grounds. It also has a great little coffee shop. 

5. For shopping you need to check out Circle City Mall downtown— it has a glass dome art area and fully reclining theater seats. Other great malls are the Fashion Mall at Keystone and Castleton Mall.

6. Another cute area to visit is Fountain Square and especially Virginia Avenue.

7. Some great restaurants I would recommend are Mesh on Mass Ave., Saint Elmo's if you really want to go all out, Union 50, and many more.

8. For Indian food: Haveli, Thai food: Bangkok, Mediterranean food: Ali Baba, Chinese: Best Taste China, Mexican: La Parada.

GETTING AROUND

There is ample street parking and you can walk or bicycle to all of downtown. Uber also works great if you don’t feel like walking. There are great restaurants and coffee shops in the neighborhood and you can rent a bicycle in one of the rental stands that have popped up all over downtown. Take the time to walk around the neighborhood, you will be amazed.

Incredible VRBO For Our Royal Rumble Weekend
My husband, mom, special needs uncle, two friends and I stayed at this VRBO for our WWE Royal Rumble weekend! The house was just incredible! It was beautiful and clean and just enough space for all of us! The host (Gilia) was so responsive and supportive during our stay! This is by far the best VRBO I have stayed in to date. Everything was perfect and we had no issues with anything during our stay! Thank you so much for letting my family and me stay at your beautiful home!

Great place to stay in Indy
Stayed in this gorgeous house with 5 other adult couples for a fun weekend in Indy. It is a beautiful house with lots of amenities, in a great walkable neighborhood and close to Mass Ave. We had plenty of room for each couple to have our own spaces but also large kitchen and family room to hang out together. In addition the VRBO host is very helpful. I highly recommend!

Nine of us comfortably stayed in this lovely home for 9 days during the 2024 Olympic Trials In Indianapolis. A well-stocked kitchen made cooking a breeze. And delicious food/drink is nearby at Foundry Provisions coffee house and Tinker House restaurant. Also recommend City Barbecue for take-out (5 mins away). Lots of families with dogs out walking in the neighborhood. And downtown only 10 mins away. We’ll be back!!

Truly a great place to stay in Indy! Great location with lots of people walking the streets with their dogs and small children. The house was awesome. Very comfortable, clean and spacious. We had a group of 10 adults and we all felt like we had our own space to relax and sleep, but with a common area to socialize. Much better than a hotel because we could commune together in the common space over meals and drinks. The host was the best. Great communication throughout the entire event. When we needed something it was taken care of that day. Thanks Gilia! We had a wonderful stay are looking for excuses to come back.

I am a world traveler, holistic practitioner and trained as a scientist. I also do some real estate investing. I love traveling to new places and discover all there is to see and know. Please ask me any questions if you’re interested in more information.

Why they chose this property

I bought this house in 2011 and poured my heart and soul into it. Now that I live in this house sporadically I really enjoy all the design detail that I put into it. The house was built in 1872, right after the civil war . I designed it to be a combination of old and modern and extremely convenient.

What makes this property unique

This is a historic neighborhood right near downtown Indianapolis. This is a beautiful walkable neighborhood and a 20 minute walk from downtown. There is ample street parking .
