Accessibility

Neighborhood

Centrally located in the heart of Downtown Evansville, the home is 3 blocks to Main Street where you'll find coffee shops, restaurants, and other local hot spots. It is also 3 blocks to the riverfront which is a great place for a walk or jog. It is also a couple minute drive to Bally's Casino, the Ford Center, Old National Events Plaza, and more!

The home features a garage on the main level which is accessed off the side alley. The garage is a tight squeeze but the host will guide you through the best way to navigate.

By far the most kid friendly place we've stayed so far, even had toys in the toy box for the kids to play with. And sippy cups and kid plates and silverware. Stayed there with our 4 kids and 2 dogs. And absolutely loved it!!! Exactly what the pictures show. Love it!!! Definitely would stay again!!

We absolutely loved the Airbnb!!! It was much bigger than we envisioned from the listing. And the rooftop deck was a really cool amenity! If / when we come back to Evansville it is THE place where we would stay. Loved the renovated vibe of the entire place. This is what every Airbnb experience should be like! Overdelivered!

So impressed with this place!! So spacious, so many thoughtful touches throughout. Was walkable for us to attend an event at Ford Center and lots of bars and restaurants in the area plus only a few blocks to a park. We loved it so much and hope to visit again soon!!
