About this house rental

Summary:
Stay in this updated half of a historic duplex in the Bates-Hendricks neighborhood, next to Fountain Square and minutes from the Convention Center, Lucas Oil Stadium and Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Three bedrooms sleep 8 (up to 9 guests): a main-floor queen bedroom, an upstairs queen bedroom and a room with two full beds. Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen with free coffee, a covered front porch, a back deck and free parking in the fenced lot out back. Pet friendly (1 pet).

The Space:
Step onto the covered front porch and into the living room with a smart TV. The main floor also has a queen bedroom, a compact full bathroom, and a fully stocked kitchen with a dining table and complimentary coffee.

Upstairs:
• Queen bedroom
• Bedroom with two full beds
• Full bathroom with a shower
• Washer and dryer

Out back there is a deck and a fenced yard with free parking off the alley (the lot is shared with the other unit). This home is one half of a duplex, so it shares a wall with the other unit.

Guest Access:
Guests have the entire unit to themselves. Entry is with a keypad code at the front door, and free parking is in the fenced lot behind the house.

The Neighborhood:
The house sits in the Bates-Hendricks neighborhood, just south of downtown and next to Fountain Square, one of Indy's most popular areas for restaurants, bars, live music and duckpin bowling.

Downtown is close by: the Indiana Convention Center, Lucas Oil Stadium and Gainbridge Fieldhouse are about 5-7 minutes by car, Mass Ave about 10 minutes, and White River State Park and the Indianapolis Zoo about 10 minutes. Indianapolis International Airport is roughly 20 minutes away. Times vary with traffic and events.

This is a residential street, so please keep noise down in the evenings out of respect for the neighbors.

Getting Around:
Walk, Bike, Uber, Scooter

Other Things to Note:
Please note this home is one half of a duplex; the other unit is a separate listing. The main-floor bathroom is compact.

While we allow up to 9 guests, the beds sleep 8: two queen beds and two full beds across three bedrooms. Please review the layout and photos to make sure the home fits your group, and feel free to ask us any questions. It is up to the group to decide who sleeps on the couch.

Clean rooms, parking was amazing, close to the event we were at.

Location is convenient. The house is simple but comfortable. Not a ton of lounging space but great place to land if you plan on spending most of your time exploring.

Austin was great to work with and the property was fantastic
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
Communication and ease of check-in and out were great. We accidently left a sweatshirt, and the host was so nice to locate it and mail it to us--thank you! Location was easy for going to a Lucas Oil event. Fenced in parking was plentiful at the back of the house. Appliances were new, clean, and functional.This stay had basic amenities. Barely seating for 4 in the living room. No where to place a bag or suitcase other than the floor or bed. The blinds were thin fabric fixed into place--unable to open. The street is busy long into the night. The bar across the street with outdoor seating is very lively. And we could easily hear conversation and movement of tenants in the adjoining unit. The tiny main floor bathroom is tiny.Again, we appreciated easy communication and proximity to the downtown area.
