Amazon stay for a work event

Me and some of my colleagues stayed here for a work event. The house was everything we needed and the owner was exceptionally helpful and checked in with us in making sure we had everything we needed.

Great quick stay!

We arrived very late on Tuesday night. We had no issues locating the home or finding parking on the street. We were in town for a baseball tournament. We checked out Thursday morning so it was a quick stay! Home is beautiful and was perfect for our needs! Very cozy with plenty of room!

Nice place, close to children's museum

The house is nice, although it has old bones (squeaky wooden floors, old baseboards, narrow stairs, central AC is not even throughout). Bedroom 1 (twin bed) was on the main floor. Bedroom 2 (twin bed) is in the attic. Beds were comfortable. Nice TVs. Very short drive to children's museum. Lots of towels. Has popcorn maker, which was fun.

On the positive side, the host and property manager were very responsive and accommodating to my questions and requests. The property also had ample space for our needs. The location is also excellent for those needing access to downtown, Broad Ripple, Butler U and other neighborhoods within the city. However, before booking this location, be aware this is an older house, and the neighborhood is located in an urban area. I don't think the posted pictures accurately depict these attributes. On the negative side, the house smells and not in a good way...like mold? We bought spray and candles to try and reduce the smell, but those efforts were mildly effective, at best. In addition, the beautiful hardwood floors throughout could use a thorough cleaning. Our socks and/or feet were filthy within an hour of being there. I love older homes as a general rule. In fact, our primary home is approaching its 100-year birthday so I can appreciate the amount of time, effort and expense it takes to renovate/remodel an old house. I believe this property needs additional TLC before it should receive 4 or more stars from VRBO.
