Close to The Vogue and restaurants! We had tickets to a concert at The Vogue Theater and this place was within walking distance so we didn’t have to worry about parking or anything! Clean rooms and nicely appointed.

Charming indeed

Just a cute, well cared for little house in Broad Ripple with in a friendly neighborhood. The host was most helpful and gracious. Although the weather was miserable at close to 100 degrees w 100 % humidity, the place was cool and dry and an oasis in the unbearable heat.

Responsive host, great location, nice space

This was a perfect place to stay while visiting family. During our stay, we hosted a small birthday party. The hosts were very accommodating in providing extra chairs, and all 8 adults sat comfortably around the substantial dining room table. This home is conveniently located in a walkable community near Broad Ripple. Street parking is ample.
