An excellent stay, This 2-bed apartment in Indianapolis is a hidden gem! It's clean, and comfortable, and boasts a welcoming ambience. The spacious clean rooms and the well-maintained amenities make it feel like home. Plus, the convenient location allows easy access to local attractions. It is highly recommended for a cozy urban living experience. The owners were so friendly and helpful from check in to check out, kind and patient with any questions we had. We will return.

Positive….
Cute and modern!
Not so positive….
Flooring very unleveled, not so desirable neighborhood or outside area. Definitely could have been cleaner. Obvious sign that carpet had not be vacuumed since last visitors. Found a pillow and blanket behind bedroom door.

Family weekend
We were in town for the National FFA convention; we had an easy time getting back and forth to downtown. It was a great space for three adults. The kitchen and bathrooms were set up very nicely and we appreciated the fan for each bedroom.
