🌟 Some background on the Villa: I purchased this house in 2011 and it took me five years to completely renovate it down to the studs. I designed this house to be a refuge and much love was poured into every inch of it, both into the layout, which was completely rebuilt, exterior and Interior Design. I can tell you from my experience having lived in this house that every room and every area feels like an experience. Every window from every angle has a special view. I love this house so much. Most importantly the intangible, the house feels amazing! I’m so happy to be able to share this house with all my guests. I keep being told that the pictures don’t do it justice and that this is the best short term rental they have stayed in, sometimes out of hundreds... I guess you’ll have to decide for yourselves!
Hope to host you! Gilia

Here are some of our favorite places nearby
1. The canal is gorgeous and a MUST on your things to do list. It is about an hour and fifteen minutes around and I would recommend seeing the whole thing since it's so beautiful and has such a variety of scenery. Hungry? I recommend the Burgerhous restaurant right on the canal. They have wonderful burgers and good pescetarian and vegetarian options.
2. I would highly recommend a walk down to Massachusetts Avenue (also called Mass Avenue).
3. Monument Circle is also a must see.
4. Indianapolis museum of art has nice exhibits and beautiful grounds. It also has a great little coffee shop.
5. For shopping you need to check out Circle City Mall downtown— it has a glass dome art area and fully reclining theater seats. Other great malls are the Fashion Mall at Keystone and Castleton Mall.
6. Another cute area to visit is Fountain Square and especially Virginia Avenue.
7. Some great restaurants I would recommend are Mesh on Mass Ave., Saint Elmo's if you really want to go all out, Union 50, and many more.
GETTING AROUND
There is ample street parking and you can walk or bicycle to all of downtown. Uber also works great if you don’t feel like walking. There are great restaurants and coffee shops in the neighborhood and you can rent a bicycle in one of the rental stands that have popped up all over downtown. Take the time to walk around the neighborhood, you will be amazed.

Thank you so much, Robin! It was a pleasure hosting you and your group. Looking forward to hosting you again!
We very much enjoyed our stay here. So much room, incredible decks for sitting outside, every amenity you need! Great restaurants in the area—will stay again!
This was our 2nd stay here. Gilia is a wonderful host, although we really didn't need anything, but she checked in to make sure all was ok. We had Thanksgiving for 9 and the kitchen had everything we needed. The kitchen, dining room, family room all open which makes for great family gatherings. The beds are very comfortable, linens are nice. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and very family friendly. We will be back again for sure!!

The property is very nice. We've stayed there for several years over Memorial Day weekend and hope to repeat. Plenty of space and very clean, with all of the expected amenities. You won't be disappointed.
Wonderful place to host family for a weekend wedding in Indy. Thanks for adding to our special weekend!

Three generations gathered at Gilia’s beautiful home and we thoroughly enjoyed our week in downtown Indy. Morning strolls to Leviathin Bakehouse and evening strolls to the whiskey distillery we’re just some of the fun outings.

Stayed in this gorgeous house with 5 other adult couples for a fun weekend in Indy. It is a beautiful house with lots of amenities, in a great walkable neighborhood and close to Mass Ave. We had plenty of room for each couple to have our own spaces but also large kitchen and family room to hang out together. In addition the VRBO host is very helpful. I highly recommend!

Darcy, thank you so much! Thank you for all your compliments and I really appreciate you taking the time and writing this out! It was a pleasure to host you and your group! Hope to host you again someday!
This house was perfect for our group of coworkers It was clean and just as described. It was very spacious and had everything we needed during our stay. Gilia was a wonderful host and was easy to communicate with. There was a great coffee shop easy to walk to and some good restaurants close by. We would love to stay here again next time we visit Indy.
This property was located close to downtown in a safe and adorable neighborhood. The home was extremely clean and spacious. The owner/ manager went out of her way to add some special touches and was very accommodating. We would stay here again and recommend it 110%!
We had a marvelous time. The house is spectacularly kept. Spacious with a great area for a large group to congregate. The owner was very responsive and would respond to our texts within minutes. Would stay here again when we come back to town.

My husband, mom, special needs uncle, two friends and I stayed at this VRBO for our WWE Royal Rumble weekend! The house was just incredible! It was beautiful and clean and just enough space for all of us! The host (Gilia) was so responsive and supportive during our stay! This is by far the best VRBO I have stayed in to date. Everything was perfect and we had no issues with anything during our stay! Thank you so much for letting my family and me stay at your beautiful home!
We've enjoyed staying at Herron Morton for several years over Memorial weekend. It is our family's HQ for the Indianapolis 500 festivities. The house is wonderful, well equipped, clean and in excellent proximity to IMS and downtown. See you next year!

Thank you so much David! As usual, a pleasure to host you! Yes, see you next year!
The house is beautiful. Open space on 1st floor with kitchen, dining and living room - perfect for family gatherings. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch meeting neighbors as they walked by. All beds very comfortable with good quality linens. Kitchen has everything you need to make family dinners. Location is great. Very family friendly neighborhood, walking distance to some fun restaurants, cafes. Host checked in to make sure all was well, although there were no issues. HIGHLY recommend. We will be back!
We had a wonderful time. The house has plenty of space to spread out. The adult children loved the projector TV and it was located in a very convenient and beautiful neighborhood. I would recommend this house for larger groups. Gilia was very responsive to our needs.

About the host
Hosted by Gilia Chazan
I’m a world traveler, holistic practitioner, and trained scientist with a passion for real estate and beautiful spaces. I love discovering new places, cultures, and perspectives — and creating peaceful, inviting homes for others to enjoy. If you have any questions or curiosities, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to help.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this neighborhood’s charm and history and bought the house in 2011, pouring my heart and soul into restoring it. Built in 1872, just after the Civil War, the home carries a rich story — and I designed it to honor the elegance of the past while bringing in modern luxury and ease. Though I now live here only part-time, I still delight in the details and soul I wove into every corner. This home is truly a labor of love.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property truly special is its rare combination of history, location, and serenity. Nestled in one of Indianapolis’ most beautiful and walkable historic neighborhoods, it offers tree-lined peace just 20 minutes on foot from vibrant downtown. You’ll enjoy the charm of the past, the convenience of the present, and ample street parking — a rare find this close to the city center.
