Fountain Square isn't your average Indianapolis address — it's one of the city's most creative, walkable, and genuinely one-of-a-kind districts. Think murals on every corner, locally-owned everything, and a block that somehow fits a craft distillery, a duckpin bowling alley, and a live music venue side by side.

 

Virginia Avenue is your main drag — lined with eclectic bars, independent restaurants, and galleries where you'll rub elbows with working artists and longtime locals. Year-round festivals, open mic nights, and community events mean there's almost always something happening within walking distance. Don't forget to check out the latest shows at The Hi-Fi!

 

When you're ready to venture out, downtown Indianapolis is just one mile away, and the Indianapolis Cultural Trail connects you by bike to the rest of the city without touching a car. If you prefer to go by car, an Uber ride is usually pretty cheap!

 

Getting around town from The Olive Square is convenient and affordable. Downtown Indianapolis is easily accessible via ride-sharing services, with typical fares ranging from $8 to $10 during non-peak times. For those who prefer to drive, there is free street parking available nearby, as well as garage parking at the back of the property for one vehicle. Whether you choose to hop in a ride or park your own car, exploring the city’s attractions, dining, and entertainment options is hassle-free.

What Our Guests Are Saying

  • Had a wonderful time. House was exactly as pictured and host was great with communication.

  • Our family had a great time here! We were there for a few, very hot, summer days. The garage where the arcade and basketball games are was very hot, but the kids pivoted to the pool without fuss. The upstairs of the house did get a little warm, but cooled off into the evening/overnight. Location was great for the things we were in Indianapolis to do. We would rent here again.

  • We had an amazing stay at Kristin’s. The house was exactly as described and spotless. Our one and five year old spent lots of time in the pool. The upstairs was hot when we arrived and my parents were concerned. We followed the instructions on the fans and they were both freezing cold and slept great! We stayed for three nights and had peace and quiet each evening. The bakery behind the house had some great Mexican sweet treats!

  • We had a great stay! The kids loved the game room and pool. Rooms were comfy and plenty of amenities included. If we ever have to come back to Indy, we would stay here again. 💯

  • Property was very clean ! Host were very responsive ! Great communication throughout the stay ! The only complaint we could have is the garage arcade area was so miserably hot it wasnt able to be used which was unfortunate but overall we had a great stay!

  • This was an awesome place for our family. Plenty of room and enjoyed outside & garage

  • We had a great stay overall. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Check-in and check-out were easy, and the location worked well for our trip. The host was responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to others.

  • The pictures didn't give the game room justice, the kids loved it. The pool was the perfect size for my grandkids to play safely.
