2023-04. New listing! Converted an apartment to a short term rental for folks who need the perfect place to stay for IU events and anything throughout Bloomington! Oh so convenient, clean, cozy, and ready for you! Will you be first? We don't expect event weekends to last long! Reach out with any questions. Happy to help!
Great place to stay in Bloomington, in the heart of Indiana University's athletics area! We have just the spot for you. Located 2 blocks west of IU Memorial Stadium on East 17th, our place is an easy walk to all the athletics and graduation events, and very convenient for any other trip to IU and the Bloomington area! You can see the stadium area from the bedroom window, roughly, well, 3 football field lengths away!
Parking? You bet. Despite being right by all the action, you have parking for at least 1 car right behind the unit, not blocks away.. right there!
This 1 bedroom has a queen bed, but what's more? Its not just a one bedroom. Its a 1 bedroom apartment with its own separate living room area, and a separate kitchenette area with a full set of cabinets, a FULL refrigerator, and a convection microwave. Oh, and coffee? Of course... both a Kuerig and a drip coffee maker for whatever your high octane (or decaf) desires may be! Kitchen table with 4 chairs if you invite a few friends.
This apartment is on two levels, with the full bath and the living room on the ground floor. The living room has a couch, some bonus chairs and a small table and additional chairs. Up the stairs... and the kitchen, bedroom, and a half bath are on the top floor.
Outside the front door is a small concrete patio area at the entry. We do not provide furniture outside since it is off 17th street--lots of foot traffic--however, we provide a nice small table and 2 chairs in the living room that you can migrate outside for chilling (and people watching). Just bring them back inside please so they don't wander off! :-)
Internet & Wifi? You bet. High speed internet from T-Mobile delivered on a nice Eero-based Mesh network to ensure coverage throughout. Smart TV in living room to login to your own services. Please note we do NOT provide cable or other television services at this time but you are welcome to use the smart tv to login to your own, or BYO device to have whatever your usual services are.
Share anything? No. Nothing inside, and not the entrance either! You have a private entrance to this apartment. The kitchen, living room, baths, and bedroom are for your exclusive use. Please note that this apartment is an apartment among other apartments and townhomes which means (although this almost goes without saying...) that it shares walls with other townhomes, as well as the parking areas and outside common areas. Because this is in the heart of the athletics area, you can expect to be in the middle of all the football, graduation, basketball, soccer, and other action along 17th street. Want to be in the middle of it all, with easy, nearly unparalleled access, this is the one! Want to be isolated, off the beaten path, no one around (and a drive to the action)? Perhaps look elsewhere. :-)
Be ready for, and a short walk from, all the IU action next time you stay in Bloomington! Car? Definitely won't need that to get to the games, homecoming, graduation, whatever you need if its in the IU athletics area! Nice to have a place off street to park it, of course, but oh so nice to not really need it too! Thanks so much! We look forward to hosting you!

5 - Very Satisfied
Rick's place was perfect for my work travel. It was very clean. Good location which felt safe. Parking was easy once I understood where to park. Had everything I needed for quick meals, and the bed was very comfortable! Thank you!
Parking was a bit confusing, and we were able to figure it out. The kitchen could have been better appointed with pots and pans, coffee (there was only two K-cups), there was not sugar or cream. These minor touches would have enhanced our stay.

Everything you need... VERY convenient to IU games! 🔴⚪️
It looked exactly as pictured. It is not a large unit, hence the two person capacity, but it was all that you need. It was walking distance to the football stadium, parking on premises and a really comfortable bed. It was all very clean and easy to maneuver. While I didn't have any issues, Rick still reached out to see if everything was ok. It was a perfect stay in a very convenient location for a football game. Thank you Rick for a seamless experience!

Perfect for internship! Worth every penny!
This was a very lovely place to stay at! I was staying here from January 17-March 6 as I completed my required internship for my major here at IU! I feel like the price was worth every penny. I would stay here again! Even when it snowed leaving my car trapped, I messege them about a shovel and within 10 minutes the shovel arrived for me! Also when shoveling some of the neighbors shoveled for me and helped me. So that goes to show how friendly the area is! I had everything I needed when it came to kitchen equipment, cleaning supplies, etc! Again, worth every penny!
Very clean and overall a great place to stay. We would definitely stay here again.

🤗 Yay! Thanks Jen! Glad to hear our place was perfect for your stay, super clean and comfy, and that you wiill be back--we'd love to have you in our cozy little 1 BR in the heart of campus, or, if with a bigger crew, our 3BR right across the street. Reach out anytime. Any suggestions for our place, or for the Great Stays Bloomington gang's support and communications? Always looking for things we can tweak to make the guest experience even better! And of course reach out when lock in a return to IU and Bloomington! 🙏
Pros-clean, ease of check in & location. I was able to check in early. The amenities listed were not all found in the unit. The owner did bring me an iron & table top ironing board ( not early to use). Cons- bare bones. Pots & pans & Keurig but nothing to go with them. The owner did brine me 2 coffee pods after I complained about the amenities.

🥳 Thanks for the great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review, Heather! I’m really glad the location and cleanliness hit the mark for your business trip.
I’ll be honest, I’m a bit bummed the 5th star went AWOL! 😉 Since we’ve hosted hundreds of guests here over several years with 5-star feedback, your perspective is helpful to keep us on our toes.
I was happy to jump into 'concierge mode' to make sure your meeting was a success—from granting an early check-in and late checkout to personally delivering a brand-new iron and board on a Friday night (I only missed the first set of the IU volleyball game to make it happen! 🏐🙌). I hand-selected that tabletop model specifically because it’s the most efficient 'fit' for a compact 1BR footprint. I’m sorry it wasn't your preferred style, but it really is the best solution for the space!
Regarding the kitchen: we design our 1BRs as high-efficiency 'landing pads.' We provide the hardware (pots/pans), but not grocery staples. I was at a bit of a loss on the 'bare bones' comment, as I reached out twice during your stay to ask for specifics so I could fix them in the moment—but didn't hear back. As for the coffee pods—you’re right! Our crew noticed most guests weren't using them and got too 'lean' with the stocking. I’ve already told the team to 'up the game' there immediately.
Safe travels, and we hope the rest of your time at IU was a success!

Perfect for IU Football!
Went to IU for dad's weekend. Rick's place was very convenient for the football game, 2-3 blocks from the stadium. I like to walk so it was very walkable to campus activities and Kirkwood for bars and restaurants. The apartment was very clean with a cozy TV room on the ground level and kitchen and bedroom upstairs. Both floors had a bathroom so that was very convenient. The cleaning service forgot to leave shower towels, but this was quickly corrected after a text message, things happen and you move on. I did not prepare any meals so I can't really speak to the selection of utensils. Bedroom was very clean and comfortable with plenty of closet space. You are on 17th street so it is crowded and noisy before, during and after football games but to me that's part of this exciting time in IU football. If you are tailgating you could easily walk back to the apartment to get more supplies, use the bathroom or take a break. I'll be staying again if available.
