Great Location, Responsive Host, Comfy Bed

We had an excellent stay! The apartment was spacious and clean with a very comfortable bed. This location is perfect for staying out of the center of the city, but close to things to do. Walking distance to restaurants and transportation. The host was very responsive and helpful.

I was sorry to leave this cheerful, charming apartment.The parking situation is excellent and the location is great - so close to Midwood and to Uptown and very walkable to restaurants. The apartment itself reminded us of old NYC, with real hardwood floors and high ceilings and a spread out layout. We especially loved the dining room and porch. The bed was extremely large and comfortable and we slept very well. I'm light sensitive so I greatly appreciated the blackout curtains everywhere and enjoyed all the window greenery during the day. It is so quiet for an urban neighborhood. The supplies were more than ample - extra linens, cleaning, kitchen implements, pots and dishes and even a snack basket. All appliances and TVs worked well. There's enviable closet space and a good dresser.The kitchen isn't sleek and modern but is very functional even for serious cooking. As for communication it was amazing. Messages were answered immediately at all hours ( my late night questions before we arrived). We took a joy ride on the gold line trolley which is free and right there - a nice bonus and a good way to see some parts of Charlotte. I recommend Haraz Coffee around the corner on Central Ave. I'd be more than glad to stay here again.

This property is across the street from my son and his family, so its location is its most appealing feature for me. It's reasonably clean and comfortable, and was surprisingly warm and toasty on a cold winter weekend. It's not exceptional (weird floor plan, bed is ultra firm, art is not my style,) but I was overall happy with it until the door keypad locked me out at 6:30 am the morning I was set to check out when I went to the grocery store to pick up eggs for breakfast. Fortunately, I had my car keys and purse and jacket, as the temperature was only 25 degrees and dropping, and my son lives across the street. And fortunately I wasn't in the middle of packing my car to catch a flight when I got locked out, as my luggage was locked inside the property, and it was an hour before I could get ahold of someone and for her to re-set the keypad. (The back-up lock box with a key didn't work either.) It was a holiday, and early morning, and the woman I reached was very nice, but I could see this being a real problem for someone who has to catch a flight, and perhaps has their important stuff (laptop, etc.) locked inside the unit. So, I'm including mention of this so future guests are aware. I have stayed at some really excellent VRBOs over the years, so I hesitate to give this one 5 stars, but then, I may want to stay here again because of its perfect location, and would like to have that option, so I feel like maybe I should. It's very good. Not excellent though...

We loved the vintage aesthetics of the house and it served all of our needs for our stay. It was in an ideal location—close to Uptown and Dilworth. Check in was easy as well as the communication with Doug. The apartment was cozy and simple and had so much space. We walked to amazing restaurants and coffee shops, as well as shopping. And the welcome basket was so sweet! Thank you for a great stay.

This is a very nice apartment in a very nice residential area that feels very safe. Beautiful old growth leafy trees and well kept homes and apartments make this a nice area to visit or walk in and it feels very safe. The unit is in a secure building with abundant free street parking. The unit is very convenient and comfortable- beautiful high ceilings and is clean with multiple televisions, abundant plug ins and is well appointed. The “extras” make it stand out. Snacks, coffee, drinks and condiments in the kitchen and that the home was left lit for my late night arrival made it feel very safe and welcoming- it’s sometimes disconcerting to check into a dark home but this was great. Great host communications. Will try to stay here again.
