Four of us stayed here for a weekend girls’ trip and it was lovely. You cannot beat the location; just be aware you’re above a coffee shop and right in the strip with bars and restaurants, so it’ll be a little loud at night and in the morning. Listen to white noise and it’s not an issue. Super clean place, everything we could’ve needed in the kitchen, upgraded bathrooms with toiletries… Just lovely. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay! Fun to just park the car and be able to walk to eat,drink, and shop! Amazing downtown vibe
May 2026
The location directly on the downtown mall is fantastic. The apartment was clean and nicely updated. It fit 3 people well and likely could fit more. We were very satisfied with our stay.

Wonderful location and beautiful apartment, would recommend and stay again!
April 2026
Above an amazing coffee shop. Much bigger than we realized. The noise around the airbnb was expected considering the location. There was limited clean up instructions, which we loved. Amazing place and amazing location.

Michael was very responsive through the booking process and after. We requested a last minute early check in due to the weather forecast, and he was able to accommodate us. Upon arrival, we noticed one of the bathroom towels was not clean, and he had fresh towels sent immediately. The apartment could use a thorough cleaning, especially the floors, as there was a lot of hair, dirt and dead bugs throughout. The location of the apartment is great, but be mindful that it can be very noisy due to the coffee house below. This did not bother us, but it could be an issue if traveling with children who nap or anyone who likes to sleep in past 6:30 AM. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the apartment's proximity to so many things was fantastic! Upon arrival, we parked the car in the parking garage and did not move it until it was time to check out. It is such a walkable area!

We had a great time! Would absolutely stay here again.

Michael’s place is beautiful and great location. I did not see any reviews mentioning this so for those light sleepers, beware it is above a coffee shop that has no insulation between floors so you will hear the music overnight as they do not turn it off - bring ear plugs! Could not be in a more convenient area with a parking garage for $12/day less than a 5 minute walk. Well worth the cost. Would stay here again.

The host was extremely accommodating and responsive. The location can't be beat, right on the downtown mall. You do hear some noise from the coffee shop below in the morning but it's more of a buzz which adds to the atmosphere. If you're spending a weekend in Charlottesville, this is the perfect location. Close enough to Grounds/campus but with more restaurants, wine and cocktail bars.

The home is in the perfect location. There is a lockbox on the front door to get the key and I did have to use Google to find out how to open it. The kitchen had everything we needed, there were extra blankets for a movie on the couch, and the home was very clean and just as pictured. We were able to shop, have a burger at CB, enjoy the wine bar, and grabbed a bag of theatre popcorn for a late night snack. ***** YOU WILL NEED EAR PLUGS OR A SOUND MACHINE ***** My only issue at all and did impact our stay greatly was the coffe shop noise. I do wish we had a heads up to bring the above. The shop started opening and prepping just before 5am and then we were awake too. We heard them talking, doors opening and closing, pans or something metal dropping, and then the music started blaring at 7am. I expected some noise but nothing like this. HATED that those amazing beds couldn't have been slept in longer.

We love staying on the DT Mall and I have long loved the Mudhouse cafe (below the BnB). This Air BnB is like the cool apartment you always have wished you had - gorgeous, chill, spacious and homey. I personally like hearing the muffled music and chat wafting upstairs from the cafe below. Loved this place and hope to stay again sometime.

September 2025
This location was great! Plenty to do within walking distance, all the restaurants we tried were amazing, and it seemed like there was always something to do between all the different event spots through the downtown mall. Michael as a host was very accommodating and responsive. Great trip overall.
