Several positives…the location was very central on Main Street with access to restaurants and small shops. There was a lot of room in the unit. My son, who stayed in the second floor, had no complaints.Unfortunately, not under the control of the property, they are doing roadwork directly adjacent to the entrance and we had to listen to a jackhammer for several hours per day. The unit sits above a restaurant so a loading truck backs up and gets unloaded before 5am each day outside of the bedroom window. The first floor bed is not assembled well so every time you move, it squeaks, and you wake up your partner. The bathroom was filthy on arrival with dirty towels still hanging up and hair all over the floor. The Nespresso machine was broken so we could not make coffee. We had difficulty getting into the property because the instructions are not sent through VRBO so they go to junk mail. We have rented on VRBO all over the world and this, overall, was our only truly disappointing stay.

The perfect downtown condo

Beautiful two bedroom condo situated above a wonderful Indian restaurant near one end of the Cville walkable mall.The beds are cloud-like soft, the ceilings high and the kitchen is vintage, combining to create a fun and wonderful atmosphere for whoever stays on the property.Located within nlocks of restaurants, bars, shopping and events, this was the prrfect place to spend a week visiting friends and family.
