another good stay in teh penthouse
This was our second visit to Villa on Meridian. This time we made use of the penthouse and main house. The view to the circle is spectacular. We make use of the main house kitchen as a gathering spot for the group, as well as the courtyard. The house was undergoing some exterior renovation while we were there. The management team made sure we were not interrupted while the crew worked.

Great location for the stadium
My husband ended up going to an event alone and we had an extra bed for our friend. The house was very clean and well equipped. He REALLY enjoyed the onsite parking so he could walk around town. Could use a few more warm blankets and the owner was quick to correct a heat issue we had within minutes. Would 100% stay here again!!!

Amazing Weekend Stay in Indy
The Penthouse was jaw dropping from the moment we walked inside, from the modern decor in this old restored home to the amazing views of the city and monument that we never got tired of. 5 of us flew to Indy to watch the Colts, and this place was the perfect place in the perfect location. It is on a quiet street two blocks from the stadium, and very close to the bar seen (again, just two blocks away) with none of the noise. On Saturday morning we had breakfast delivered to eat around the fire pit, and we did not leave until 4:30 in the afternoon, we were having such a good time sitting under the grape vines in this very quiet part of the city. This is the place we will stay the next time we are in Indy!!!

What we were looking for
This property was a great location, close to Lucas Oil and convention center which is what we needed. It fit our entire party and the penthouse was well done and more up to date than expected. my only negative of the property was the outside was not maintained very well, but otherwise we had a great stay.

Out of town Colts fan
5 Star. You will feel no need to tail gate two blocks away from the stadium. only bad thing was we couldn't find the local channels on Roko. so we couldn’t watch the NFL late games. Our grope was old men and we all are technically challenged. I’m just use to my DIRECTV Sunday ticket. I will be staying here again, next time I go to a Colts game.
