The Space:
LIVING ROOM: couch, ottoman, large smart TV (No cable but you can log in to your streaming accounts!)

KING BEDROOM: Right off the living room, you'll find the largest bedroom in the house with a King Bed that features a Nectar mattress. There is a large desk and plenty of space to put suitcases, etc.

QUEEN BEDROOM: Also off the living room, and another large bedroom, this bedroom features a quiet sitting area as well as a comfortable bed with memory foam mattress and a desk area.

TWIN TRUNDLE BEDROOM: This room is in the back of the house off the kitchen and is perfect for kids! It features 2 twin beds (as a trundle). Adults can certainly use them too but they are not XL Twins - aka dorm beds - so keep that in mind. There is another desk area here for work or homework.

KITCHEN: As with all of Habitude's properties, this is a FULLY STOCKED kitchen with everything you would need to cook. Pots, pans, spices, etc. etc. We also provide a coffee machine with coffee (& filters) as well as tea, sugar, etc. etc.

LAUNDRY ROOM: The laundry room has a washer and dryer + ironing board and iron for guests to utilize

EXTERIOR AREAS: The back yard is fully enclosed with a wooden privacy fence! There is a hot tub, bistro lighting, a covered lounge seating area plus an outdoor dining table/eating area in the back yard along with a bbq. Private parking space by the gate in the rear plus street parking in the front. There is a front porch which is a perfect relaxation spot in the summer! The porch is well lit with bistro lights.

Guest Access:
Guests access the property through the front door using a digital lock that is programmed with a code specifically for them. The lock will not work until the house rules/disclosures are signed by the booking guest.

The Neighborhood:
Just west of the White River in a gentrifying neighborhood. We are a 5 minute walk over the bridge onto the IUPUI campus or into the White River State Park. Many of our guests bike, ride scooters, or walk to the zoo and other attractions in downtown!

Getting Around:
Easy/cheap uber ride or walk/electric scooter to all the major attractions downtown as to offer and less than 15 mins from the Speedway by car.
