Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Dori Ellis
I am a Los Angeles transplant who has lived in Bloomington for 25+ years. I love the diversity of the city, its people, natural beauty and vibrant downtown. I enjoy biking, traveling, hanging out with friends and family. My husband and I hope you enjoy visiting Bloomington as much as we love it.
Why they chose this property
This property is an iconic fixture in the heart of downtown Bloomington. It is chock full of history from the city itself and from Indiana University. The former president of Indiana University, Herman Wells, used to call this property home. It held his fraternity in the 1920's. It is constructed from Bloomington quarried limestone, which has great historical significance in Bloomington. The Rooftop was a big jump at one of the local quarries and was made famous in the movie, " Breaking Away". We thought it was the perfect name for our quintessentially Bloomington space.
What makes this property unique
The apartment is in the heart of downtown Bloomington, close to shopping, restaurants and bars. It is steps away from all that the downtown has to offer. It is one block away from Bloomington's "International Restaurant Row" and minutes away from unique, locally owned art, gift and clothing boutiques. All that is needed is just a walk away.
