    That we didn't stay longer.

    The host Danny was so helpful. He was always ready to give us good tips on restaurants, museum, etc. So generous with our breakfast , snacks, and plenty of goodies.We were the only couple staying those days, but he made time to have great conversations with us. It was our first time visiting Indianapolis, and this bed & breakfast was in the right spot to stay. Highly recommend.

    This one room, in particular, had a horrible vanity. My husband didn’t have a problem with it, but it was poorly lit, and it was extremely difficult to put my make up on. The actual tub in the bathroom was amazing as well. Our previous room had a well lit vanity, and I believe that to be true about the other rooms. It would be an easy fix if the owner would purchase a light up make up mirror to plug-in next to the bathroom sink. I would recommend that you call and ask before booking a particular room.

    Convenient ! Amazing gourmet breakfast and warm, friendly host. He told me that he would be pampering us, and he absolutely did! This was our second stay.

    Absolutely nothing.

    Beautiful home. Stayed in Tiffany. Rooms were immaculate and decorated gorgeously. The detailing everywhere was so ornate and lovely. Snacks, drinks and movies were available. It really felt like being at home! We could’ve walked around downtown but instead, we stayed in our cozy room by the fireplace and just basked in the quiet. We missed breakfast bc we had to leave earlier than expected but the banana bread was amazing-Danny was happy to give us some to go. Perfect stay. Will def book again. Now our fave B&B in Indy.

    Bed was hard for our liking and we wished we had more usable pillows (more decorative pillows than not) but these were very minor concerns compared to all our likes.

    Gary was a consumate host--very obliging and thorough and makes sure his guests are well-taken care of in the room and out of the room. This is a wonderful home in the heart of Indianapolis and parking is super easy in a large private lot direclty behind the home. Our room was extremely cozy and we thoroughly enjoyed the jacuzzi bathtub.

    Only complaint is I would’ve liked to have had a personal key for my door to lock it when we left, as opposed to having it unlocked when I was away and only replying on the building itself being locked.

    Owner was amazing, loved all the free amenities and old charm of the place. Lots of snacks and drinks, and the breakfast was delicious! The host gave us a full tour and showed us all the amenities available to us. Everything was clean and comfortable. Best B&B I’ve ever stayed at!

    We’re racking our brains for something negative to say. Fortunately we can’t come up with anything!

    Gary is an exceptional host. He’s gave us a tour of his beautiful home when we got there. He’d baked at least 4 kinds of delectable cookies, had sodas and waters for us as well as other treats. The house is amazing! The woodwork and the furniture are ornate; they reminded us of our grandparents’ homes. Gary’s attention to detail is formidable. The house is well appointed with comfortable beds , sumptuous towels and toiletries as well as souvenirs of Gary’s travels around the world. Our room had a fireplace and a jacuzzi that we wished we had more time to enjoy. There’s an enormous collection of movies, music and games. There is also a grand piano in the parlor. Our dog was welcomed as well. The breakfast was delicious with multiple selections; there is something for everyone. The neighborhood is a beautiful place to walk the dog. It’s not far from wonderful restaurants and a movie theater. We are planning on returning to spend more time here when we can. There’s so much to explore in Indianapolis. We highly recommend visiting it at Old Northside Bed and Breakfast!
