This stunning one-of-a-kind designer restored villa offers a casual, yet luxurious lifestyle. Stay in or walk around the beautiful neighborhood.

There are also spacious common areas throughout the home for a quiet conversation or to engage in productive group meetings. Imagine walking in and immediately feeling at peace…

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.

    Great big house for Christmas gathering. Fit 13 of us very comfortably. Older kids loved the third floor area. Second fridge came in handy. Lovely neighborhood with a park very close by. House is well maintained. 4 stars only because it needed some TLC with a few things (toilet paper and hand soap not well stoked and was almost out; apparently some toilet paper got delivered to the garage but we had no idea, downstairs half bath water only ran at scalding hot temp which we discovered by a kid crying when trying to wash their hands, tv is outdated in living room, and dishwasher was old and didn’t work very well. Tv stand in the primary bedroom upstairs looks like it’s about to fall over which made us nervous with babies there (it stayed upright no issues, just made us nervous). Those minor things aside the house was wonderful and made Christmas comfortable and memorable for us all. Thanks for a great stay! Would definitely return.

    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 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!

    Distance to Downtown and Mass Ave was just a short Uber ride away. The house was extremely clean - no sticky kitchen items or furniture that you would be afraid to sit on. The kitchen was completely equipped. The host was responsive and the instructions were clear. There were fresh live flowers on the kitchen island upon arrival. The owner's suite was HUGE and incredibly nice. All of the bathrooms were updated and very nice. The 3rd floor is set up with cots and blow up mattresses along with 1 normal bed. It looks like a kids camp or barracks. Just fine for kids.

    Absolutely perfect! Beautiful home in a beautiful part of town, clean and well prepared for our stay. Each guest we traveled with (3) had their own bathroom which meant for great privacy. With balconies and outdoor seating strategically placed around the home, sitting outside with privacy is also made very easy. The Bed was by far the most comfortable I've slept in and the bedding while thin, impressively warm and cozy. Cute, welcoming details throughout the home and all amenities provided. Make sure to pack a pair of slippers to keep extra cozy as you are not allowed shoes in the home, respectively so...it is in immaculate condition. Communcation with the host was a breeze. I Would absolutely stay here again.

    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!

    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!

    Truly a great place to stay in Indy! Great location with lots of people walking the streets with their dogs and small children. The house was awesome. Very comfortable, clean and spacious. We had a group of 10 adults and we all felt like we had our own space to relax and sleep, but with a common area to socialize. Much better than a hotel because we could commune together in the common space over meals and drinks. The host was the best. Great communication throughout the entire event. When we needed something it was taken care of that day. Thanks Gilia! We had a wonderful stay are looking for excuses to come back.

    We chose this house for our praise kidz church group to stay and all be together for our international jr talent competition. The convention center was very close and this house was able to accommodate our group of 21. The host responded to me and made sure everything was ready for us when we arrived. It was a lovely historical house that was perfect, spacious and comfortable for all. If we ever come back we would stay here again! Thankful we were able to bond and practice for the competition In this amazing house.

    Nine of us comfortably stayed in this lovely home for 9 days during the 2024 Olympic Trials In Indianapolis. A well-stocked kitchen made cooking a breeze. And delicious food/drink is nearby at Foundry Provisions coffee house and Tinker House restaurant. Also recommend City Barbecue for take-out (5 mins away). Lots of families with dogs out walking in the neighborhood. And downtown only 10 mins away. We’ll be back!!

    We've stayed at the Indy Villa for several years and it’s always been first rate. This year was no exception. The property is in a great neighborhood on a nice corner lot. There is plenty of safe, well lit street parking. The house is spacious and very well appointed. We had 10 people this year of all ages. Everyone had plenty of space. The pictures in the listing are very accurate as is the description. This place is perfect for your medium to large group that wants to stay together in a comfortable, refined space. Thank you Gilia!
