The heat was broken. The host had set up 3 small space heaters as a solution. The temperature in the space was 56. These space heaters had blown a fuse so the living space had no power. We called and were told there were no solutions.

The condo is nice. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well set up and appliances are first class. The location is perfect, close to batts, restaurants, shops and Grounds. But the trains are a problem. The entire condo shakes when they pass in the middle of the night. It makes sleep very difficult.

One word TRAIN!!! The house is right on the train tracks and the train goes by all hours of the day and night. The house is in great location to get to the downtown mall and the actual house has a great modern vibe. The house unfortunately was not clean! Dust in the bedrooms and common areas, one of the bathrooms had ants, the air filters were DIRTY, the fridge was gross, and one of the sinks would not drain properly.

It was a beautiful wonderful place could’ve been a lot cleaner. We didn’t get a chance to access the common area cause we didn’t know where the common area was in the basement key that’s where it was never worked for wherever the basement was. grills was very dirty on the rooftop, even though I cleaned them, but never got a chance to use them. The pullers and cushions on balconies need to be replaced. it’s pretty much dirty and has some whips in. Just add some of the pullers in the house like on the bed and the master suite had a rip in it pulls on the couch downstairs had a rip in. It took a while to learn how to work the blinds, but they worked out OK some of the blinds didn’t work the train that was going by wasn’t too bad. It shook the house a little bit but not as much where I was concerned about it my grandkids enjoyed it watching the train go by. All in all it was beautiful place Twyla also to figure out where the garage was, but it worked out cause I found where it was with the card. I wasn’t able to get into the email that they sent me for the instructions on to get in and everything, but when I did find it, I got as much information I could from it, but when I needed the information again because I couldn’t find it management company that I was speaking to appear to get annoyed or annoyed the questions about the instructions and then now I couldn’t get no response after five, but I wanted to experience the common access area, but never got the opportunity

Close Walking Distance to the Mall

Nice property. Close distance to pedestrian mall and all shops & restaurants. Practically on top of railroad. Worse than the railroad is a very loud grinding noise (garage doors?) that occurs throughout the day and night. A lot of stairs. No hair dryers provided. Wish there were more towel hooks or bars in two of the bathrooms. Hard to figure out which switches control the shades in common areas. The short distance to town can’t be beat. Kitchen had the basics. Bedrooms and living room and outdoor space were comfortable and nicely decorated. Third floor outdoor deck kind of dirty. Washer/dryer are in excellent condition.

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!

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!

Pros: This is a beautiful condo with a great location near concert venues, amazing dining, great bars and theaters. I even found a couple of great bookstores nearby. Cons: Communication was iffy in the days leading up to the stay. Im accomstomed to not receiving check-in instructions until the day before or day of arrival. However, the day before arrival, I received an email seeking confirmation that Id recieved checkin instructions. I had not. I was then told I would not receive check-in instructions until I completed the rental agreement. I hadnt recieved that either. The property manager insisted shed sent it twice. The next morning I recieved check-in instructions, followed by a rental agreement an hour later. When I arrived, the front door was propped open using the deadbolt. I left my family standing in tye rain so I could verify the property was empty. The property wasnt fully clean upon arrival. I found dirty towels in a closet, stains on a bedand an empty can of ravioli in the kitchen trash. I assume they use a cleaning service soI communicated my concerns in the hope they would pass them along. The team did respond and I appreciate it. It just wasnt a great introduction to the property.

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!

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.

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.

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.
