great place in a great location
May 2026
Location, Location, Location! Right in the heart of the downtown mall, you can walk out your door and choose from any number of wonderful restaurants or unique boutiques. We sat in window, drank wine and watched the people. We listened to the street performers singing and playing guitar, entertainment comes with the space! Our questions were responded to quickly. There is nothing there as far as staples, sugar, salt, coffee, olive oil, so you will want to bring the coffee with you if you like it first thing in the morning. The apartment itself was beautifully furnished and the parking space right out the door was fabulous too.

Great location, and really cool building. The space is wonderful, and the apartment is really nice. We read the reviews about the noise from downstairs and thought we would be ok because it was a Thursday, but of course we forgot it was spring break! A noise machine app made it much easier for us to sleep. The Downtown Mall was super cool to walk around in and there are some great restaurants super close!

Amazing stay on the downtown mall. Fantastic apartment and the best location.
April 2026
I had a wonderful time staying at this apartment. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of downtown and within walking distance of some fantastic restaurants and shops. The space itself was spotless, modern, and very comfortable. Despite being so close to the action, it was surprisingly quiet inside, making it the perfect place to relax after a long day of exploring. The host was also very responsive and made the check-in process a breeze. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience the best of the city!

Great place right on the mall.
March 2026
We enjoyed our stay at this perfect location right in the downtown mall of Charlottesville. The place is very spacious, clean, and steps away from many restaurants and things to do! There are two drawbacks to this space to be aware of. The first has been mentioned in many reviews about the noise. It's the price you pay for being so close to everything - just remember to bring some earplugs! We actually didn't mind this all that much. The bigger issue was the sleeper sofa, which was very uncomfortable and had stains on the mattress. The main bed is huge and incredibly comfortable! I hope they update the sleeper sofa so we can stay here again! Otherwise it was great and the host was very responsive!
March 2026
I had a great time staying at this location. It is right above the downtown mall and so easy to walk to all the restaurants and activities. The space was very clean and I didn't really have any noise problems.
January 2026
Enjoyed our stay and would stay again. I removed a star because the counter, kitchen table and bathroom vanity still had stains and sticky rings from previous guests. It felt like some of the main visible places had been missed when cleaning but overall it was great place to stay.
November 2025
We read the other reviews about the noise. So glad we did- everyone had a sound machine and we still heard noise outside. It was rowdy! But stopped at 2 when the bars closed. Great location and was close to everything and plenty big for 4 of us. Not sure we would stay here again though due to the truly excessive noise and the sleeper sofa being very uncomfortable (also had stains on the mattress and towels).
December 2025
Location is perfect. Walking distance to so many things! The space was pristine clean and comfortable. The restaurant/music venue located below the unit was not operational so we did not experience any noise issues. But bring a white noise machine with you if you are a light sleeper. We really loved the place!
November 2025
Enjoyed our stay very much! large apt with lots of Sq footage and right there on the downtown mall. very close to everything and will stay here again!
December 2025
I loved the property. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and shops. Parking was a breeze. Can’t wait to come back
October 2025
The unit itself was great but the locals loitering at night made our group of women uncomfortable. We knew this going into the weekend that Main Street would be busier/ noisier than most spots in Charlottesville. Very central to all restaurants! Thanks!
August 2025
awesome place. very clean and well positionned. I highly recommend!
September 2025
Michaels place was in a great location right on the downtown mall. Walkable to everything you could imagine. Would definitely stay here again!
September 2025
The place was exactly as described. Very nice and comfortable. Right on the downtown mall so you don’t even need to drive your car once parked with the multitude of options. It is a bit noisy in the morning since we stayed on a weekday but we just turned on a fan app on our phone and went straight back to sleep. The homeless population in Charlottesville has increased so a lot of them will sleep in and around the downtown mall area. We never felt unsafe and they were all very friendly. Plus we saw multiple police officers patrolling. 10/10 would stay here again.
August 2025
We had a great trip and visit here. We enjoyed the restaurants and walkability. Staying here allowed us to visit many wineries and also enjoy the Downtown Mall. Highly recommend a trip!
