We enjoyed an adult weekend away with the perfect location for our stay. Central to all the things we needed (Food, Drinks and Entertainment). The VRBO was very clean and great for two couples to share for a quick getaway weekend.
Several positives…the location was very central on Main Street with access to restaurants and small shops. There was a lot of room in the unit. My son, who stayed in the second floor, had no complaints.Unfortunately, not under the control of the property, they are doing roadwork directly adjacent to the entrance and we had to listen to a jackhammer for several hours per day. The unit sits above a restaurant so a loading truck backs up and gets unloaded before 5am each day outside of the bedroom window. The first floor bed is not assembled well so every time you move, it squeaks, and you wake up your partner. The bathroom was filthy on arrival with dirty towels still hanging up and hair all over the floor. The Nespresso machine was broken so we could not make coffee. We had difficulty getting into the property because the instructions are not sent through VRBO so they go to junk mail. We have rented on VRBO all over the world and this, overall, was our only truly disappointing stay.
Perfect location for us. Place was great size for 4

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and location of Gatsby! We hope you enjoyed Downtown C-Ville! We would love to have you back as a Stay Charlottesville guest. We reward our repeat guests!
Amazing location. Very responsive host. We had two minor maintenance issues when we arrived and they had someone there within 20 minutes to help… on a Sunday!
Awesome experience and perfect location. Even had a high chair and pack and play. Will be staying again

Location is amazing and very easy to pop out to do some window shopping or grab good food. Overall very comfortable, clean space the only minor issue we ran into was WiFi not working for laptops and was in/out a little when we tried to watch TV
My friends and I are graduates from Darden and wanted to return back to Charlottesville for a fun weekend. This property was perfect - location was ideal right on the downtown mall, the space was very comfortable, and everything was as we had hoped it would be. Highly recommend!
It's a very spacious, attractive, bright, well-stocked apartment in a charming part of the city near a ton of great restaurants and shops of the downtown mall and nearby Belmont, and in a nice building. You will have to sign a separate contract with a third-party manager, Stay Charlottesville. As per prior reviews, the bedrooms are quite light at night from street lights and there's a high propensity for street noise e.g. we were woken up at 7am two of the days by a truck tearing up the brick on the street outside, in the middle of one night by people yelling, and by the bed frames, which squeak loudly at the slightest movement. So if you're a light sleeper, you may want to bring eye masks and ear plugs. We also had a problem with the electronic door lock continually breaking, which required half a dozen phone calls and multiple workmen coming to the apartment over several days to try to fix it. We kept being told different things by different people as to what the issue was and how it would be solved. They were all very nice and responsive, but we should have been given a spare key the first time it happened, not after the fifth. In addition, the TVs kept coming on at random times, including in the middle of the night and very early in the morning, and one of the property people said that's been going on for months. Wifi was continually spotty so we wouldn't recommend this as a place to work from.
Clean, great location and loved the 2 kind beds! A little loud since you're right downtown, but nothing some earrplugs can't fix. The walkability is amazing!
Great location, annd Clean! Carrying keys the entire trip is a little bit of a pain though not sure why the electronic lock at the door cannot be utilized for guests. We still had a great time in Charlottesville!!
We had a girls trip to Charlottesville and found the apartment to be just right for our needs. The space was clean and comfortable. The location was convenient to shopping and dining. Would definitely stay again.
