Easy top 5 places to stay in Indy!

Stunning interior, industrial look inside and out, name is befitting. Love the placards to explain the antiques and paintings. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was huge. Having a Keurig was great to start our morning. We could have easily packed our food for the few days we were here and cooked in the spacious kitchen. The ambient lighting from the unique ceiling was incredible. Felt safe, which is huge for our family. Mass Ave was wonderful, kept us busy and just around the corner. Didn’t have time to enjoy the private courtyard but it looked inviting. Having an indoor parking area was a plus, the attached garage helped immensely. Mr. Kessler was patient with our checking in, was happy to walk me through the process. He was attentive to the details and open for us to call any time with any issues. Would love to stay here again, or in any of Mr. Kesslers other properties.

Swanky

My friends and I stayed at this property during gencon. It was a great place, walking distance to a lot of nice spots, and a short uber ride to the Indiana Convention Center. Oh yeah, and possibly the fanciest place we have ever visited. This place is done up to the 9s, clean, and almost overwhelmingly fancy. Highly reccomennded.

Vrbo If you want to add an extra layer to your visit, this house is perfect. The artwork, amenities, and just overall uniqueness will make the house feel like half the fun of your vacation. Add to that the perfect location - walking distance to pretty much everything. Bill is great and was very accommodating. One of our most memorable stays for sure.

Amazing experience

We came to town to attend a memorial for my mother which we ended up having at the condo and it was a perfect place for her. She would have been so happy to be surrounded by those antiques and pieces of art. The unit also ended up playing a large role in healing a bit of a rift between my two boys. The pool table brought them together for hours and hours and hours and for the first time in a long time they had fun together. All in all our short trip home for a memorial turned into a really wonderful vacation. Bill’s place played a large part in that. FYI, you should check out his art gallery downtown as well

Unique rental with personality

This was one of the most interesting rentals that we have stayed in! Beautiful, clean and fascinating art throughout. Bill is a wonderful and interesting host! He responds quickly, and was helpful with restaurant recommendations. We enjoyed a special trip to his Gallery too! We cooked several meals in his large kitchen and the beds were super comfortable. We even hosted a pasta dinner for fellow swim teammates! Would highly recommend and hope to come back some day! Thanks Bill for a wonderful week!

When you enter from the garage you are immediately drawn into this unique but comfortable space. You could just hang around there all day or walk fifty feet to streets with any kind of dining or nightlife. I will be going back on my next trip down to Indianapolis.

Unique, Eclectic and Incredible

This property is an absolute gem. If you love mid-century architecture and industrial spaces, this is place to stay. Not only does it have ambience that cannot be beat, but the artwork and the furniture will keep you and your guests or family talking for hours. Although industrial, it was cozy and warm with everything we needed. William is an incredible host. We will stay here again for sure!

About the host

Hosted by William Kessler

In 1987 I had the good fortune of playing in the Pan American Games held in Indianapolis. It was that tournament that qualified my team to compete In the 1988 Olympic Games in the sport of Team Handball. I wrote in my diary the day before leaving Indianapolis that I felt as if I would live in this city someday. So here I am, since 1989. Love it!!!

Why they chose this property

If it’s all about location as they say in the business, this spot is truly in the hottest spot in the city. The moment I saw this property, I knew what it was meant to be. You have to see it to believe it. To be shared by many and welcome to all. I hope to have you as a guest and welcome you to our great city.

What makes this property unique

This home is one-of-a-kind with its grand, industrial design, tons of natural light, and Italian heated tile floor. Relax in one of the two bedroom suites, in the private backyard garden, or lounge in the cozy living room and enjoy the huge TV. Love to cook? You will love this huge, fully stocked, state-of-the-art kitchen. How about a round of pool? A gorgeous grand piano is the centerpiece of the grand hall and open to the guest. There is no shortage of fine art and antiques to appreciate. Free parking and minutes to everything downtown, this home offers everything you need to enjoy Indianapolis at its finest.
