I was sorry to leave this cheerful, charming apartment.The parking situation is excellent and the location is great - so close to Midwood and to Uptown and very walkable to restaurants. The apartment itself reminded us of old NYC, with real hardwood floors and high ceilings and a spread out layout. We especially loved the dining room and porch. The bed was extremely large and comfortable and we slept very well. I'm light sensitive so I greatly appreciated the blackout curtains everywhere and enjoyed all the window greenery during the day. It is so quiet for an urban neighborhood. The supplies were more than ample - extra linens, cleaning, kitchen implements, pots and dishes and even a snack basket. All appliances and TVs worked well. There's enviable closet space and a good dresser.The kitchen isn't sleek and modern but is very functional even for serious cooking. As for communication it was amazing. Messages were answered immediately at all hours ( my late night questions before we arrived). We took a joy ride on the gold line trolley which is free and right there - a nice bonus and a good way to see some parts of Charlotte. I recommend Haraz Coffee around the corner on Central Ave. I'd be more than glad to stay here again.
