House was clean and well-appointed. Given the narrow street and the snow and ice it would have been difficult to maneuver normal cars and parking was more difficult than anticipated. But communication was great and no issues at all with house.
Stayed for a quick trip to go to a UVA basketball game. Host was very responsive leading up to the stay. House was well appointed, clean and very accommodating. Host was responsive throughout the duration with any questions. Would definitely recommend!

We loved our stay. House was perfecf for our group of two families staying together. Beds were very comfortable, everything was extremely clean and organized and the host was great and very helpful. Easy walk to the Corner and to the Downtown Mall. We loved sitting on the back screened porch and the kids loved the fun basement. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks for such a great experience.
The property and host exceeded our groups expectations for our trip, which were already quite high. The location and walkability between the University and the downtown mall is excellent and the house is in amazing and comfortable shape. Any questions or requests were quickly resolved by the host. I will look again for this property for any future trips to Charlottesville!
We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights at Navel Nalle. Donte’ was so responsive to my call when I couldn’t get the code to unlock the door. He called and reset the lock and we entered. The home has top of the line appliances and updated bathrooms. We loved the artwork. The only issue was when I parked in front of the house - the yard was unkempt - tall grass and weeds. I am pleased that when we entered the home all fears disappeared. The interior is spotless only the yard caused me to give the 4 stars. The location is close to many restaurants, the Unicersity and Monticello.
