It’s not an apartment. The VRBO owner lives upstairs and u rent the basement- that smells like a basement. You hear everything upstairs, their conversations, the walking. They use the basement as a barbershop- those pics weren’t shown. Had we had known first hand it was the basement and the owner lived upstairs never would have rented. Gave 2 stars for location to everything and his communication if we needed anything. My husband wanted out the first night in and I said it’s already paid for so…

When I booked this property, the listing described it as “Entire Home – Apartment with great location and off-street parking in the heart of Broad Ripple.” It has since been updated, but at the time, I wasn’t aware that it was actually a basement apartment in the host’s home. That said, when we arrived, the host kindly met us and explained the setup, which wasn’t a problem for us.While one previous review mentioned a basement smell, we didn’t notice that at all. Occasionally we could hear footsteps from above, but since we were out most of the day and back late, it didn’t really affect us.The host was very friendly, helpful, and responsive to any questions we had. The main reason for the 4-star rating is the bedroom setup: one room had doors, but the second sleeping area was more of an open space with a partial divider and no door, located right next to the bathroom. This made it difficult for the person sleeping there when others needed to use the bathroom during the night. I think it would be more accurate to list that space as an open sleeping area rather than a full bedroom.Overall, a decent stay with a great host—just a few listing details that could be clearer for future guests.

Exactly what we needed!

We stayed at this property while visiting a local university for parents weekend, and it is just what we needed. Exactly as written in the listing, very clean, wonderful neighborhood and easy parking (which can be a challenge in Indy!) Great location that is walkable to wonderful Broad Ripple. Bruce was very accommodating letting us an an extra day last minute as well. Thank you for opening your home to us!!!

Great for a weekend stay

This property was so cute inside and out. The art on the garage and the outside flower area were gorgeous. Inside felt very homey and was very clean. Bathroom had a care package with extra toiletries we might've forgotten. Communication with host was quick and easy. Would absolutely stay here again when traveling to Indy. Thank you!

Great Broad Ripple getaway.

Great location! We stayed in the main house, rather than in the basement apartment. It was extremely clean and free of clutter, which I love in a guest house. We fixed a few meals in the kitchen, and it had most everything we needed. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Great little breakfast/coffee places nearby. If we visit Indy again, I think this will be our go-to.

Wonderful host and great location!

The host/owner was great. I was traveling with my elderly parents and he was very kind, helpful, and accommodating. The setup of the downstairs apartment was open and flowed well for ease of movement. All necessities were provided and the host informed us that if we had any need to please let him know. We did request one item from our host and he went above and beyond our expectations. I highly recommnd staying at this location.
