Absolutely outstanding! The best BEST place to stay in South Bend. This is our second time on the property. If you are looking for a cozy, kind, and well located spot, look no further! We look forward to coming back when we are in town for our next Notre Dame game. Shout out to Don! Loved our conversations and his warm hospitality.

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.

The theme of the house was very neat with the old car collectibles. Very easy to enter & leave, not too far from downtown. Good for visiting South Bend, I would definitely book again.
