The studio is conveniently located to a large number of restaurants, shopping and unique watering holes. The unit itself was adequate but not particularly updated. It is a matter of personal preference, but we found the mattress to be too soft. Good overall stay and again - great location!

Kirby was very welcoming and accommodating as a host. Great communication and smooth check in process. The home is cozy, well furnished and pleasant. Kirby even provided restaurant and menu recommendations for us, which were very helpful. The location is great - we easily walked everywhere! We were steps away from Riverwalk, great restaurants, shops and lots of fun things to do!

Great spot for waterfront access. It was easy to come and go while exploring Wilmington. Also, secluded and peaceful at night when you wanted to relax. Only small drawback was there wasn't much natural light and it made the apartment dark throughout the day. The host was very organized and made sure we were fully accommodated.

About the host

Hosted by Kirby Keene

Host profile image
We moved to Wilmington in 2005 from Kernersville NC. We have really grown to love the Wilmington area. It is an awesome place to visit, BUT, better place to live!

Why they chose this property

When we first moved to Wilmington we lived downtown. We absolutely loved the downtown area and what it has to offer. You can enjoy the riverwalk, live music, live shows, great art, dinner cruises and many wonderful restaurants. This property is only 10 - 15 minutes to local beaches.
