Terrific Duplex
For a home over 100 years old this rental had every modern amenity. The A/C worked overtime during the horrible Indianapolis heat wave while we were there. Beds were comfy. Renovated bathrooms were super. Good water pressure and fluffy towels. Parking was easy in the driveway, either from the street or the alley. It was too hot to walk to any of the many restaurants in the area so we used the kitchen. There were enough dishes, bowls, cups, and glasses that we only had to run the dishwasher when we left. I was disappointed that we weren’t staying longer as I didn’t get to do a load of wash. The basement was spotlessly clean and the washer and dryer were clean, new appliances. Never thought I’d want to stay somewhere to do laundry but if I did this would be the place. If we’re ever in Indy again we would definitely stay here.

Great Weekend Stay
We had a great stay at this property. Very nice bathrooms and 3 separate bedrooms. Kitchen was great. We slept well. There was a little glitch on getting our check in information. Both VRBO and the owner promptly helped resolve the issue.

Clean and Cool!
Really nice property! Very clean and well-appointed. Super easy check-out responsibilities. It's half of a duplex. The neighbors were super nice. Literally a 30 second walk to a great coffee shop (Prufrock), a really cool corner bar (Red Key Tavern) and a nice record store and bookstore across the street... We felt like we were locals!

We LOVED this place!
My son and daughter competed in the Grand Nationals marching band competition this past Thurs-Sat at Lucas Oil Stadium. My 83 year old mom and my sister joined me on the road trip to Indy from South Carolina. WE LOVED DISCOVERING A NEW CITY! The property was beautifully decorated, spotless and ready to receive 3 tired mamas. We shopped at Whole Foods (literally up the street!) and picked up some healthy options to prepare in the gorgeous kitchen, thoughtfully provided by our host! Bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect. We’re so grateful for this trip and for an awesome place to call “home” for a couple of nights! THANK YOU!

Family Gathering
I stayed with my daughters and my sister-in-law and her daughters. The house was wonderful and suited our needs quite well. Our only complaint is that there needs to be more hand soap at the sinks. We would recommend that mirrors be added to each of the bedrooms to allow folks to get ready outside of the bathrooms, but that may only be an issue if you have a houseful of girls. Would definitely stay here again!

Good Stay!
Good Stay Overall! But did need some items refreshed: The pillows need to be replaced and put zip covers on them. The sheets are not cotton but polyester so not very comfortable or breathable. The soap dispensers were not all replaced and there was no laundry detergent for us to use. I also recommend you bring your own bath soap, shampoo and condition as there was none. Also the large bedroom upstairs has very thin walls to the neighboring condo. So bring ear plugs!
Good points:
- location is great , close to some great restaurants. The Indian food was great and the gallery pastry shop has awesome coffee.
I think with the updates I mentioned I would be willing to stay there again.
Thank you!

Indy
This is a great house and location for our stay in Indy. We had an event at the fairgrounds, and it was easy access. There are also a nice variety of restaurants and a coffee shop close by. The house was clean and comfortable, & had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. I would highly recommend!

Kevin keeps the place in great shape. The location is perfect for heading downtown on race day or up to Connors Pub in Broad Ripple post race. Take a walk around the neighborhood to see Immaculate Heart of Mary (the House that Cripe built) and have a nightcap at the Red Key.

Really nice spot in Broad Ripple
My husband and I traveled with our elderly parents for the Eclipse. This property was nearly perfect for us. We absolutely loved the front porch. Much of our time was spent sitting there and watching the world go by.
We would absolutely recommend this rental. Thank you so much!

Girls Weekend
We had a great time staying here for our annual Girl's Weekend. Kevin was a great host and was very responsive to our needs. The third bedroom only has a full over full bunk bed, so I was a little misguided on the description of the beds. I only think it's because VRBO doesn't have an icon for this type of bed. The beds were very comfortable!!!

Our yearly stay was great - as always!
This is our third time staying at this location. Close proximity to fairgrounds.
Always clean; perfect for our two families to stay in.
Expect road noise at night, especially Fri and Sat nights as College and 52nd is a busy area (nothing that you can't sleep through though).
Utilize the alley approach the driveway as parking a truck /backing a truch out onto College is somewhat difficult.

Early 20th Century Meets Modern Day Charm
If you're looking to rent in Indianapolis, look no further!
This early 20th Century home is wrapped around a modern-day interior. You will see the level of attention the owners gave to the interior remodeling. The spacious front porch is a great place to unwind and relax after a day out. Minutes away from the fairgrounds with restaurants and a coffee shop within walking distance.
We had a very enjoyable stay!
