Comfortable and cozy. Good AC and ceiling fans were much appreciated for the hot and humid weather. Terrific for walking distance to Lucas Oil Stadium. 15 minute walk to downtown Indy, but there are closer dining options as well.

Exceptional Stay and so close to Lucas Oil Stadium

We loved how clean it was and appreciated the additional touches like the extra toothbrushes and even vanilla next to the salt and pepper. Bill was easily accessible and answered all our questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Go Ducks!

This was a fantastic spot to watch a game at Lucas Oil. The house was clean, comfortable and as advertised. The deli across the street was an added bonus. When the Ducks are back in the Big 10 Championship next year so will we.

Had an absolutely great stay this past weekend and Bill was an awesome host! Loved the communication, and walking me through the steps of staying at a Vrbo residence. The location was spectacular, you have a view of the stadium from two bedrooms and of course as soon as you walk out the front door. The building doesn’t look like much from the outside but it’s what’s inside that counts. The apartment was clean, spacious and properly maintained. Didn’t do any cooking but if it was needed the kitchen was top notch and there’s even a shared patio out back with a table, chairs and a grill. Parking was easy, even on a game day, and it was free! Not gonna find that at too many properties around the Indy downtown area. Have already recommended this residence to others planning Indy trips over the next few months and I will definitely look to book again on my next excursion. A+++++++

Newly renovated unit in an old building gives it a unique charm. Very close to the stadium and Greyhound on main road with easy access to highway. You do hear traffic from inside but not terrible, it's not a very heavy traffic corridor. It's a 15 minutes walk to circle mall and other downtown attractions, limited choices of food close by. There is a deli grocery around the corner, a pub a block away, white castle couple blocks out. If you want something close to downtown without breaking the bank during event times, this is a good place to be.

This property is in a good location with a free parking lot. The rooms are small but well furnished. There is a small coffee pot and a Keurig. There were various condiments: coffee, salt, pepper, and cooking oil/spray. I am not sure if these were provided by owner or leftovers from previous tenants. There was plenty of toilet paper, tissues, and paper towels (no dishwasher so you may want to bring paper products). Shampoo, conditioner and toothpaste were provided. The beds were comfortable. However, this property is a few feet away from a busy street. I do not recommend this place if you are a light sleeper. The traffic noise will drive you crazy. The bedrooms only have blinds, so they were always well-lit. I woke up several times in the middle of the night thinking it was morning. The host is friendly and responsive. I would consider staying here again.
Dining area. Kitchen on the right, bathroom on the left with a sliding door and living room at the end.

About the host

Hosted by William Kessler

Host profile image
In 1987 I had the good fortune of playing in the Pan American Games held in Indianapolis. It was that tournament that qualified my team to compete In the 1988 Olympic Games in the sport of Team Handball. I wrote in my diary the day before leaving Indianapolis that I felt as if I would live in this city someday. So here I am, since 1989. Love it!!!

Why they chose this property

It’s all about location, as they say in the business, Then I found the Merz building and from the moment I saw it I recognized the opportunity. It has history, character and walking distance to Lucas Oil Stadium, Indiana convention Center and Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Hope to have you as a guest and welcome you to this great city.

What makes this property unique

Everything I would want in my own house is what I provide in every property I own. This includes luxury mattresses, a variety of pillows, Antiques, commissioned art work from local artists and chosen pieces from my Art Gallery. If a guest request something I take pride in making it happen.
