Clean rooms and well maintained. Can find parking on the street or on the nearby lot. The house showcases a collection of model cars, vintage collectables and many more interesting posters and magazines related to the Studebaker and Vivanti automobiles. And the houses are right next to the Studebaker Historic Museum.

I think for the money and the proximity to downtown it's hard to beat the value, that being said there's a few things to consider when staying there. Our room was right next to the dining room/kitchen so there was definitely some noise bleed. Additionally, I found the beds in the Avanti room to be quite uncomfortable. They seemed to be older spring mattresses, and I do think the stay would be much improved with newer, more comfortable mattresses. We also had issues with the ac which made our first night uncomfortably warm, but the host was extremely responsive and fixed the issue the next day. Overall, nice stay at the Avanti House.

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.
