This is a cozy ground level studio with private entrance, en-suite bathroom, queen bed, kitchenette, and faux electric fireplace. Located in a quiet neighborhood 10 minutes south of IU & downtown restaurants. A park with wooded trails, tennis courts and playground is just a few steps away at the end of our street. This is a comfortable, self-contained basement studio with a en-suite bathroom and covered patio outside the private entrance. The queen bed is perfect for 2 people. The studio has a kitchen area with a microwave, toaster oven, electric skillet, hot plate, medium-sized fridge, and comes stocked with coffee and tea makings, and basic kitchen condiments. The TV is set up with an Amazon Firestick for watching Netflix and and other channels. Our family lives upstairs, it is an older house and, while we try to be very considerate, you will be aware of us moving around up there. You have a private entrance and parking space close to the entry so you are free to come and go as you please. (In icy conditions, it is better to park on the street in front of the house.) We are happy to greet you when you arrive, if we are home, but self-check-in works too. We have lived and traveled on several continents and enjoy meeting and connecting with people. Come up and join us for a cup of coffee! At the same time we respect the privacy of our guests, so if you prefer to be completely on your own, that is fine too. It is a quiet residential neighborhood and at the end of our street is a park with wooded trails along a creek that connects with another park. As Bloomington is a university town, there is a good transportation system both public and private. There are quite a few transportation services: Uber, Lyft, Yellow Cab, Red Tire, and White Cab. There are also several car rentals services available by the day or the week. Public Transport: Near our house is bus route #1 and #4 which pass hourly, one on the hour and the other on the half hour. The closest bus stop to us is the #4, about an 8 minute walk, the #1 is about a 10 minute walk. It takes about 30 minutes to go downtown to the University where all routes connect. Bus service begins at 6:35 am with the last bus arriving at 11:35 pm. If you want to check out the bus routes google bloomingtontransit, and enter the current time, your starting point, and where you want to go the site will provide the best route closest to your starting time. What makes this a great place to stay apart from the studio is the quiet location, and the nearby park and walking trail, enjoyable in all seasons. Please let us know if you have any questions.
