About this property

B-town Overlook

This 1 bedroom 2nd floor walk-up apartment is located in a Historical limestone house. The living room is full of light from extra tall windows overlooking downtown Bloomington. Marvelous and enjoyable, this cozy retreat offers everything guests need for a terrific stay. The bedroom features a comfortable queen bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The bathroom is well-equipped with a hair dryer for added convenience, due to the historic nature of the building the ceiling is sloped in the shower causing low clearance in part of it. If you're about 6ft or taller, please be aware. In the additional living space, guests will find a futon and a sofa bed, providing extra sleeping options.

There is a fully furnished kitchen for eating-in or it is only a quick walk to downtown restaurants. It is a quick 5-minute drive to Sample Gates and 7-minute drive to Memorial Stadium on IU Campus. Bloomington's B-line walking trail is one block away!

The apartment is accessed through the lobby with a keypad entry door.

Apartment was very clean. Not the best apartment for someone over 5'9. Very tight areas throughout the place. The host was great about getting back with me in a timely manner. Great stay overall

Don't Stay Here

I have been using Vrbo at multiple price points for over a decade. I never had a problem until this rental. I have stayed at properties listed for under 100 and they were in safe, walkable neighborhoods with clean and updated amenities. The B-town overlook was rundown and in a struggling commercial district. It is advertised as “historical,” and came up in a search for Prospect Hill, which is a quiet, nice residential area. The listing is not accurate. I left after the first night and the host refused to reimburse me for my unused nights.

Thank you for your feedback. We take all guest concerns seriously and aim to provide a safe, comfortable experience for everyone who stays with us. We’ve hosted hundreds of guests in this historic building without any safety issues. As a parent myself, I’ve often had my young children playing on the porch while I work nearby, and we’ve always felt secure. Our listing is located in the Prospect Hill Historic Neighborhood, just one or two blocks from the Convention Center and B-Line Trail, and two blocks from downtown center. The building, originally constructed in 1875, offers both charm and proximity to key locations. Regarding your concerns: the light bulb was replaced within minutes, and the heat issue was due to the thermostat being turned off—easily resolved. We had multiple people present in the building that day who were available to assist, but the concerns were only brought up after the guest left. After your departure, you requested a refund. We offered to refund any unused nights that could be rebooked, provided the reservation was canceled. However, the reservation was never canceled. We always strive for clear communication and guest satisfaction, and we appreciate the opportunity to address these matters.
