Great apartment we enjoyed our stay
Great unit
Perfect apartment for short or lon visits to Norfolk
I stayed here wil my 73yo mom while visiting family in Norfolk for a high school graduation. The place was perfect and actually bigger than expected. Four people would be extremely comfortable. It was very safe with the secure garage parking and entry. It was centrally located and had all the essentials. Good wifi, two TVs, good A/C, basic kitchen supplies, etc. Michael was incredibly responsive. I arrived hours after my mother and he walked her through everything and made sure she was all set up and comfortable. We plan to use this apartment again next time we are in town.
Beautiful, modern unit in a great central location!
I stayed in this unit from mid August through early November 2016. The unit is beautifully furnished and was very clean upon arrival. It is safely secured with gated parking on the main level and keyed access throughout the building. The rooftop patio provided great views of the downtown Norfolk area and a lovely place to grill. Kitchen was well equipped with modern appliances throughout, including the in-suite washer and dryer. Great central location with easy access to shopping, locally owned restaurants and a lovely market. The landlord was amazing and very responsive if needed. I would highly recommend this unit for both short or longer term stays.
Historic property with modern amenities
We stayed at the property when attending a family wedding in Norfolk. The modern amenities complement the historic characteristics of the property, and we had secure parking on the first floor of the building. It is within walking distance of downtown Norfolk and Ghent. The owner is very responsive and accommodating. By all means, ask him about the history of the property and how he re-purposed it.
Nice bed, good location, lovely folks
This was an easy place to stay. We enjoyed the gated garage parking and the nice security upgrades on the apartment. The bed was comfortable. The sofa bed was comfortable as well and would be a good fit for two children or one adult. The property is well maintained and well stocked. If you look on Google Earth before traveling, there have been nice upgrades to the neighborhood since those photos were taken. I would be fully comfortable staying in this location alone or just me and the kids. The owner and family live close and are very responsive and kind.
Great studio apartment!
This apartment was fantastic! My wife and I stayed for an extended period - 3 months. We over-packed so the apartment was a little short on storage space with a single closet, but we were still quite comfortable. The location is very convenient as it is walking distance to downtown and to Ghent which we found to be the best neighborhoods to spend time in. The king size bed is super comfortable, everything in the apartment including the appliances are new, and there is TV and internet service provided. The management team was very responsive and all of our requests were addressed in a timely manner. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a furnished short to medium-term housing solution.
