    I am quite auditory, what should be possible is to try that the air conditioner does not have such a loud sound during its operation.

    Avanti is a thematic lodging, if you like cars and the history related to that brand, this is your place, anyway, the attention and comfort of being in the center of the city is quite nice because you have everything at hand.

    Pillows on the bed were not firm enough for our liking, host did find us an extra pillow. Personal taste tho and others may find them perfectly fine.

    Beautiful home. Very clean, handy for town, restaurants, sight seeing. Easy to get to, good parking areas. Host was knowledgeable of the area and very personable.

    It was right next door to the Studebaker Museum, which was my main destination. Very close to downtown, restaurants, and Notre Dame.

    Dripping faucet in Rm. #4 bathroom. Bathroom rugs could stand an update. I think a smoke alarm might have been beeping to indicate low battery. No lights were on downstairs when we entered after dark, making it difficult to find our room.

    My 16 yr. old son loved the car history and all the stuff to look at.

    Unfortunately you are sharing the space with other guests and you can't always control who those guests are... That being said, management is very quick to follow up on any issues or complaints!

    Such a beautiful, history rich house! And the staff were so incredibly helpful and accommodating! Highly recommend!

    I wish on the description that it said there is no TV so if you want to bring something to watch a streaming app on bring your own.

    I loved the quietness, cleanliness, and directions all over the house.

    We were totally happy with our stay and accommodations.

    We each had a granola bar the first night we came in as it was rather late. We didn't need the kitchen snacks but it was nice to know that it was available. It was very handy to have the little fridge and microwave available upstairs.

    I did not like not introducing myself to other guests at the house during my stay but did not want to be rude.

    Grab and go snacks were great and coffee and open kitchen concept was perfect for me. The location was great to town and college near by. Only downfall is a busy road with traffic but historical area was nice and road is wide and parking out back is a great fix. I will use it again the next time I need to stay the night. Thank you

    Well...the place was a bit cold most of the time....I guess that it is the season but I did expect a bit more. I had a room with only a toilet so sharing a shower is a thing you should come prepared for.

    The house is very unique and interesting. The entire well place is well taken care of, clean, tidy, comfortable, inviting and in addition has a snack giving out on a daily basis. Cassandra from staff is very helpful and kind. The place is super close to everything I needed (maximum of 14 min walk). Super interesting people coming over. AND last but not least - good value for money.

    I think your coffee maker is clogged, as the water boils off before it hits the grounds. Also, the street light in front wasn't lit when I arrived at 10 p.m., just in case you want to let the city know.

    I like the actual house , as it's older and I like the kitchen cabinets , along with the floors. I think the neighborhood is nice too. It's in the economically mature part of town, but the block the house is on is tidy .

    Nothing major, the house is a beautiful older house and is taken care of. But with older houses the floors do tend too creek in some places. (Like I said, nothing major and being more picky about that).

    Beautiful old house and taken care of. Location to my class was only 1.5 miles away. Communications was easy. I enjoyed walking the house and reading history and the seeing collection in the house.
