Great place close to campus
Clean and roomy. Bright and cozy. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy time visiting your IU student. Only challenge we had was getting the Living Room smart tv to connect to internet. Host was very helpful and actually came over on Friday evening to try and fix it, but something was just not right and we couldn’t get it connected. We were able to connect laptop via HDMI cable, so we could watch games on Saturday. Kuerig coffee maker also wouldn’t make a cup, it was definitely getting warm water but never actually made a cup of coffee. Other than the technology challenges it was a great stay and would highly recommend and will return again if available.

Perfect IU / Bloomington accommodations!
As a very picky traveler, I am delighted to share a 5+ star review for this property. The owners literally have thought of every detail to make this so comfortable and welcoming, including coffee and tea, well equipped kitchen and bathrooms, very comfortable beds and pillows, and many small thoughtful touches. The location is in a quiet neighborhood located conveniently near both IU’s campus as well as the College Mall shopping area. Highly recommend!

Super light and bright, filled with thoughtful touches
We love staying at this property whenever we’re in Bloomington! The house is large and airy, full of thoughtful touches like a snack gift basket, food and wine in the fridge, sound machines in the bedrooms and nightlights everywhere. The hosts were very communicative and available, we felt like pampered guests :).

Amazing Hospitality
This house is perfect and the hosts are even better. The below apartment is great for extra room when you book them together. The hospitality is great...so many details thought of by the hosts. Great location, clean and spacious. Highly recommend if you are coming to this area. Especially for visiting campus, which is near by.

Couldn't Ask For More!
Great location in a quiet neighborhood, a short drive to IU. We found this home to be perfect. Very clean, with everything you could possibly want and amenities that you hadn't thought of. Brand new and very well stocked kitchen with all you would need to cook meals. The furniture was comfortable and practical. Plenty of sitting areas for all of us. Spacious bedrooms with good closets and dressers. Bathrooms were on the older side, but extremely clean, practical and well stocked with soap, towels and bathrobes (!). Nancy was incredibly welcoming and answered our texts and questions right away. I would definitely recommend this property, thanks for a wonderful stay!

Excellent home, really enjoyed staying here. It was clean, quiet, spacious, well appointed!
The home owners, Nancy and Athena, we’re fabulous to work with. I highly recommend staying at this home. Our family stayed here and it was well appointed, super clean, and spacious to ensure everyone had plenty of room to enjoy each other’s company, study for classes, rest, etc. Great neighborhood to take a morning stroll before starting the day and easy to park our cars in the driveway. Thanks for a great stay Nancy and Althea. We appreciated your hospitality and the special treats that were waiting for us upon arrival. Take care!

Over the top
By now, we’ve all stayed in a number of properties and understand the differences. These owners are A+++++++. Not only do they have all of the expected requirements covered, they go above and beyond as if they actually love and appreciate those of us who stay in their property. Every detail is anticipated and maxed out down to the minutiae. Trust me…this place and these people are more than any of us deserve. If Btown is in your plans, forget the Graduate and Grant Street Inn. This is what you deserve.

Amazing house in Bloomington!
I first need to say how kind and thoughtful Nancy and Althea are (property managers). They worked with us on dates ensuring that we had a wonderful stay in Bloomington. Althea shared with us events that were happening in B-town when we were there so we were able to take advantage of the town spirit. Any time that we reached out to them, we received an instant response. The house is very clean and stocked with everything you may need for your stay. They even provided us with a bottle of wine when we arrived, snacks and a few breakfast items for the next morning. Each bedroom was had ample pillows, towels for each guest and warm blankets if we needed them. The family room had games to play, an inviting nook to read a book and peaceful areas to kick back and enjoy family time. The back deck was lovely as well to sit outside and enjoy your morning coffee. The house is very close to the IU campus, grocery stores and restaurants. We will definitely be back to enjoy this lovely home. Thank you, Althea and Nancy, for making our stay so amazing!

Loved this home away from home!
I had a wonderful visit in this home with my daughter, who is an IU student. It was an oasis - a home away from home where we could both relax comfortably. Located close to campus and the college mall in a nice neighborhood, you can get anywhere quickly. The newly renovated home is so cozy and comfortable, clean and well appointed. We were able to cook and relax together. Many small touches throughout the home made it even more special! The lovely owners take great care to make your experience truly enjoyable. We hope to return!!
