I liked the house and the location was perfect for me but there is room for improvement. 1. The stairs have no handrails!! They are a lawsuit waiting to happen. How people have carried a heavy suitcase down those shallow steps without falling so far is a miracle. All the stairs and exterior steps need handrails 2. The only grounded outlets are in the bathrooms and kitchen. In all other rooms outlets are very scarce, and ungrounded.Other Improvements: - Provide a toaster or toaster oven. I didn’t find one. How else do you make toast? - Supply something to drink out of in the bathrooms other than your cupped hands.- have a luggage rack or bench so your suitcase is not on the floor - have at least 1 chair per bedroom.- nice if you could open a window for fresh air. None that I tried could open. - hang some colorful images. There are none.- install grab bars in the shower- have a binder containing useful information. Instructions for the house and appliances. Like how to raise the shades or use the TV upstairs. Menus from local restaurants and a local publication with upcoming events, festivals, markets, entertainment, etc. would be appreciated.- so would a box of tissues in the bathroom - and finally, the 170 cleaning fee should include the emptying of wastebaskets, not to mention taking a loaded trash can to the street. I couldn't have gotten it there if I'd wanted to. Speaking of trash, put a wastebasket in every room. - but first INSTALL THE HANDRAILS!

This rental was exactly as described online, and we had a perfect weekend in Indy. The house was very clean, offered plenty of space for our family of four, and was ideally located for our weekend activities. The host responded promptly to all of my questions. Highly recommend!
