The Avanti Houses

Quiet house, great location. Don, the owner was super friendly.

Friendly, informative host. Great location. Good parking on site.

Our beds were very hard and uncomfortable

It's a little "old-fashioned boarding house" mixed with AirBnB, but it really is worth a stay in this historic house, turned hotel. It's not a traditional hotel, with a check-in desk and staff in-house, and it's an old house with smallish bedrooms, shared bathroom facilities, and creaky wooden floors and stairs. I thought it was charming enough to make up for it. The house is chocked-full of memorbilia for the Studebaker Avanti automobile - advertisements, new articles, art, models, photographs. An irreplaceable collection. Located across the street from the Studebaker museum and within walking distance of the South Bend Cubs baseball field and some restaurants and breweries.

Beautiful house, also decorated nicely

24 dollar cleaning fee made it much more expensive than on first sight, still well worth it

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.

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.

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

No television in guest room. That's it.

Great location, room was extremely comfy, staff was very accommodating

Parking was only in the street. Advertised that there was parking in the back but only 2 spots and they were both taken the entire time

The only down side was the size of the bedroom which is typical of bed and breakfasts. We really appreciated the new bed and personal attention.

The property was as described. It had a lot of memorabilia related to the Avanti. There were simple selections for a self serve breakfast and snacks. There was a medium size fridge in our room. The queen bed was very saggy in the center. My husband slept there. I slept in the twin bed which was better, but I had air blowing on my face everytime the ac kicked on with no way to adjust the vent. There was a nice sitting room available.

Such a beautiful house. I love old buildings and antiques.
