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

🌟 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.
