The space
Our home resides on a quiet residential street features a covered front porch and back patio for relaxing at the end of your day or waving at the neighbors. Free on-street parking available along the block, so you can park the car and walk a short 6 blocks to the heart of the Square!
Inside our fenced in back yard, you can enter the gorgeous glass stairtower from the shared back patio. We come and go this way with our dog, Zaha, as well, but will coordinate with you so you're not met with unexpected dog barks or kisses.
Downstairs in the garden level, you have your entire apartment to yourself: Studio bedroom space, full bathroom, located off the home theater/living room. Studio has a kitchenette (built by us, with 100% upcycled materials), stocked with kitchen essentials, and other eco-friendly details. Concrete floors are stained a stunning ocean color. You’ll enjoy the BEST SLEEP on our Tempurpedic mattress in the super quiet and soothing space (most guests sleep in hours later than usual).
The garden level is heated and cooled on its own zone with a ductless mini-split. The downstairs bathroom features a dual-flush toilet, LED lights, and sensors that turn on/off the nightlight automatically (super handy in the middle of the night!).
We use eco-friendly products in our home, so please enjoy your sustainable stay with us, and everything you need is available to you in an environmentally friendly version!
The kitchen
This kitchenette is minimally stocked with an apartment fridge, an induction hot plate, a toaster oven, microwave, coffee press, and electric tea kettle.
We built this kitchenette ourselves, with 100% second hand, upcycled cabinets, counter, sink, and faucet.
Other things to note
Enjoy free on-street parking available. You’ll have a private entrance from the backyard, and are welcome to hang out on the peaceful back patio or gardens as much as you like!
Extremely quiet space, due to concrete walls (ICF). 5G Wifi.
Our dog and cat live on the second floor with us, and Zaha (the dog shares the stairtower on her way to the backyard. We will coordinate to avoid having guests unexpectedly meet her by surprise. Eve stays sealed inside the 2nd floor, so there is no allergy concern for those with cat allergies.

Indianapolis . Joined in October 2021
We are passionate about sustainability and compassionate living. I've been vegetarian since age 11, and when my wife and I met, she switched back to her former vegetarian lifestyle in 2011. We've always loved to host, and accommodate the needs of others, so we were each cooking vegan for decades. We finally went from 90% to 100% plant-based in 2015, after I bought a vegan cheesemaking cookbook. I'm an Architect, and Bethany is a Realtor. Now I've designed our dream home with a dream kitchen for cooking demonstrations, and we are excited to share our eco-designed Passiv Haus with like-minded guests!
