Sad & Faded

I knew from looking at the photos in the listing that this VRBO was dated and the furniture was way past its prime. However, it was not so easy to see that the white sofa cushions are not white, but stained and dirty, the pillows all faded. The bedspread is faded with a decorative pillow that has the seam blown out and the stuffing sticking out. The towels are faded and have beach spots. There were no tissues and only one roll of toilet paper...this place could be great with a trip to Homegoods and a little love. The location is perfect and you can walk anywhere downtown. We had a lovely breakfast each morning right up the street at Baker's Kitchen. We love that there is a private parking space right out back. Because everything is so old and faded, it made the place feel dirty and sad. It needs a refresh!

Nice Downtown Location

Location is excellent to explore downtown New Bern. The condo allows you to to access all of the Historic area on foot and the off street parking is an added bonus. Be prepared for some outside noise from deliveries in the early morning from the nearby restaurants, not a complaint, just an observation.

Nice stay in New Bern

Communication with host was excellent...all our questions answered right away. The condo was very clean, comfortable queen bed, nice quality toilet paper and paper towels which might not mean much to some but I really appreciate. The location was good, easy access to everything. We parked our car for the entire visit and enjoyed walking. The parking in the back is a little tight but if you get in and leave your vehicle in place you're alright. There is street front parking as well. Expect some morning noise as restaurant dumpsters are being emptied and grease traps cleaned. Overall we had a very nice stay and appreciated the clean tidy condo.

Great location with the basics.

This is in a great location for access to great restaurants, shops, the New Bern Convention Center and other downtown New Bern sites. The unit has the basic needs covered, but no frils. Furniture is not very comfortable and kitchen is minimallystocked. Perfect if you just need access to downtown. But not if you plan to plan to spend much time in the unit.

Spectacular Location

Great place. One warning - steep steps going up to the place so not great for anyone with a mobility issue. Once inside I thought it was bigger than I expected. Clean and you are in the heart of downtown, easy to walk anywhere you want to go.

Great location

Located in the heart of historic downtown New Bern. Plenty of street parking. Lots of old-time charm, not for you if you are looking for a modern/contemporary feel. My only critic is that the furniture was old/worn/mismatched, and not so much in a charming way. the kitchen accoutrements, especially the coffee maker, appeared to be leftovers from another home. However, if you love historic old buildings and can overlook the aforementioned, was great.

Good Location, Not too comfortable

The location is great. Right downtown, walkable to everything. However, it was hard to sleep at night. The exhaust fan from the restaurant below is directly outside the bedroom, is very loud, and runs all night. Also, the staff from the bar/restaurant below would go out back near the bedroom after closing and were extremely loud all three nights we were there.

Great location in downtown New Bern

Apartment was in a perfect spot for enjoying downtown. The info about the stairs was helpful in that it is a very long set of stairs to the apartments. Owner was struggling with some rooftop fan noise but was very accommodating and concerned about its impact on us and was working to correct it. It is a renovated historic building. Parking was not an issue for us and there is parking around back, but it’s a little tricky to find at first without instructions. Overall a great spot and with family in the area we are planning on staying here again.
