Great weekend in downtown!

The place was beautiful and our location was fabulous! The train rolling through at 2:30am was a little disruptive, but worth it for the walkable distance to dinner and drinks. I was not able to use the included parking pass, since the card was broken. But the management company was quick to reply. Overall a great stay!

Great Location

This property is a great location to the mall. It is walking distance to eat and drink. The weather was rainy all weekend, but if you were able to enjoy the porches the rooftop is amazing. The owner has a great grilling set up and the views from up top are great for people watching!

Great place located right where we needed.

Very cute place, the trains do cause some rumbling in the night, but it’s only once or 2X a night. Very good walking distance to lots of downtown attractions. Recommend it.

Great space and location!

We stayed here with a group of friends and truly enjoyed the back patios and spaciousness of the home! Although there is no parking on site, there were very clear directions to park in the designated spot at a nearby garage. Best location in terms of walking distance to The Downtown Mall and West Main Street. We would love to stay again for future reunions! Our only recommendation would be for better cleanliness in terms of bathrooms, floors and surfaces.

Perfect Charlottesville Vacation Spot

A+ experience! We loved the two (yes two!) open air rooftop areas with comfortable seating and great views. The condo had everything you could ask for in terms of amenities but nothing could beat the proximity to the Historic District which was directly across the street. My only regret is that we didn’t stay one more night just so we could hang out and enjoy the condo. I would not recommend for anyone who has difficulty with stairs, but other than that it is a perfect spot for young and old alike. Can’t wait to return!

Fun spot- embrace the train

Great location for a weekend getaway in Charlottesville. Beautiful and comfortable house. We knew in advance the train rolls by a couple times a day so was not surprised. It was fine for us but definitely rattles the house. A few things would put it over the top. More than 4 hangers for the whole house. Hooks in the bathrooms for towels. Couple sharp knives. Overall a very try nice stay and recommend it.

Modern and fancy digs in a great location

Stayed here with 5 other adults for a long weekend. The location was perfect (walkable to the downtown pedestrian mall) and the condo itself was modern and roomy with some great luxe touches (heated bathroom floors in the master! rooftop access! wine fridge!). My only complaint is minor: the listing indicated an ice maker, but it didn’t work. A bummer, because we had to run out for ice after arriving. I would stay here again, no question.

The house was filthy, had to wash sheets as they had hair and stains on them. Kitchen was disgusting. Could not use coffee pot nor oven hadn't been cleaned in months. Had to buy detergent and cleaning supplies to mop floors and wipe down surfaces. Dust and hair on steps, crumbs on floor. Dishwasher does not work. Spent over two hours cleaning the place. Bathrooms were clean.

Nice Condo with a Great Location

The location for this condo is perfect if you want to be on the pedestrian mall in Charlottesville. It's also an easy drive to UVA grounds. The loft itself is very nice - modern, good appliances, well stocked, and was clean. The only warning I'd give is the same as others here. When the train comes through (including at 2am) it is LOUD and shakes the entire building. If you are a light sleeper beware!

Nice place, but some issues

Overall it was a decent stay! Our main points: - place is updated and very cute - however, cleanliness was an issue. cobwebs everywhere on the floating stairs, corners, etc. - dishwasher was full of clean dishes, so we had to unload - coffee maker was missing the basket to hold filters so was unusable - exposed wiring on porch ceiling fan off of living room - wifi was terrible unless in the kitchen area - great, walkable location Lastly, the description mentions the train, but its significant. It runs at least once in the middle of the, night every night, and shakes the entire unit.

Must Love Trains

I really love this condo. You cannot expect perfection when you aren't completely in charge...so I had to clean out the DW from the last family...no big deal. The cargo train is the only real issue. The first time (9:40pm) it's cute/funny. Then the 2am and 5am trains pass. Each lasts between 7-10 minutes. Darn, I really like this place!!!

Needs elevator, better soundproofing, wonderful appointments inside the house, need better explanation of the shade operation, some shades were not functioning, Icemaker was not working, parking was a little cumbersome and loading and unloading was close to impossible!! Pleasant and professional. I wish management would give them a little more leeway in working with customers.
