June 2026
We stayed here for a girls trip weekend and enjoyed having so many great shops and restaurants within walking distance. It was so amazing to have such a short walk back after the concert at Ting Pavilion. Parking at Market Street garage was convenient for going to wineries or places in other areas of Charlottesville. I would definitely recommend this place to friends traveling to the area.

Great location for a girls’ weekend! Lots of cute shops and places to grab a drink or bite to eat along the downtown mall. The weather was great, and we were able to take advantage of the rooftop to relax in the evenings. The apartment itself was really cute and comfortable. Would definitely stay again!

We had a great stay at Michael's place. We loved walking to restaurants and shopping, and the easy ride to the wineries was really nice. The location can't be beat!

We had the best time in Charlottesville. The icing on the cake was this perfect place right in the middle of the Downtown Mall. Truly, worth staying here. Thanks for a great time.
February 2026
This place was SUPER cute and you cannot beat the location. We loved the natural light and being able to easily explore the shops and restaurants of the mall. It felt very clean and the beds were comfortable. All that said, there were a few things that put a damper on our stay... It was exceptionally cold during our visit and heat distribution in the unit was an issue. The upstairs bedroom felt like a sauna; the living room was freezing. There were no extra/throw blankets, so we used our coats to stay warm downstairs. There were a few other things that would have made our stay more comfortable. The sofa was very hard (we called it the park bench); some throw pillows would have helped. The kitchen basics listed were not available - no oil, salt & pepper, etc. - thought there were a few stray spices. There was a Nespresso machine but no pods; they were too specialty to buy easily. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and thought it was good value, but it could have been more comfy.

Loved the location. And the rooftop terrace was fantastic. My only "complaint" is that none of the windows opened so I couldn't enjoy the beautiful Fall breeze while enjoying my coffee in the morning.
