The Short North Arts District is one of the Midwest’s best kept secrets.

The kitchen is supplied with every tool and small appliance you need to prepare a decent meal, along with some cooking staples such as olive oil, salt, and pepper. We also have a coffee machine with Folgers coffee, teas, creamer, and sugar.
The second floor of the duplex is where you will find the 2 bedrooms and the bathroom. Each bedroom is spacious and has a queen-sized bed. The full bathroom has a shower bath.
The washer and dryer are in the unfinished basement of the house and can be accessed by the door between the front bedroom and the living room.

Why they chose this property
We love old buildings and this one is no exception- it was built in 1910. Unfortunately the only historic parts left of the house interior are the fireplace tiles and stairs (if you want to count that)- I'm not even sure if the mantels are original... the rest of the house has been fully renovated.
What makes this property unique
Please note the following about our apartments: Our homes range from 97 to 135 years old. If you are in search of a perfect, flawless place to stay, you may want to look for newer build. We love being hosts- providing a home to stay in and delivering a unique experience when visiting this city but please keep in mind this is not a 5 star hotel, it’s a home.
