Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The owners have 2 houses close together and use the same entry code for both. Then the keys are stashed in each room because there are no personnel onsite. One key was missing and the two people to contact were both busy and pretty unresponsive, although they eventually found the missing key. I felt very unsafe. Then I noticed a lot of street noise. One window does not shut at the top. It was cracked and taped up, and the panes were filthy. One of the worst rental experiences I have had, I won't be back.

Great place

This is a great place to stay in South Bend if you’re on a budget but want something comfortable and homey. The rooms are nice and the historic aspect of the house is great. It is also nice to have a kitchen to use, plus mini fridges in the room.

Excellent stay at the Avanti!

We highly recommend the Avanti for your next stay. It is quiet and very relaxing. The Avanti offers all the amenities necessary to be comfortable while providing a lot of history in every room. We could not have had a better stay! Thank you so much.

I never stayed there. I was unable to check in on the first day. And then I ran into some issues that evening which prevented me from returning. So I paid for the three days and never stayed there

The house was quite large and easy to maneuver. No stove but there is a hot plate, microwave, and toaster oven in the kitchen. Not a lot of cookware, bowls, etc. but enough to make due. I like to cook so that was a little disappointing but like I said, it was sufficient to make due. It would be nice if there were a recliner and couch in the living room area to make it more comfy. There is a small love seat and chair. Not a place to sit back and watch tv. My room was lovely. Nice comfy bed and a desk for working at. The full bath was adequate. Really cool stuff around the house if you like the Avanti history. Very clean and owner was very responsive to any requests made. I would definitely plan to stay again. I felt safe during my stay as a single lady.

Funky but not my thing

Interesting place. Kind of funky and eclectic. I felt like I was staying at my grandmother's house. The floors were creaky and I had a half bath off of my room with a shared full bath. I wasn't crazy about the shared full bath option, my room was kind of interesting and had lots of posters of the Studebaker sky hawk. I was pretty comfortable, but did not have a TV in my room which I kind of missed. Glad I only had one night there.

This home was built in 1890 so it doesn't have a lot of modern amenities, but once you understand you are essentially staying within a "museum" you can only enjoy the ambiance, artwork, furniture, items and artifacts virtually everywhere. And the owner, Don, has a pristine Avanti car in his garage that he is very proud of and willing to show you! I would most definitely return!
