Newly renovated and attention to detail.

We needed a place to stay while visiting the Roanoke area. This was a very nice unit and very close to coffee, ice cream, tapas and downtown. It was an upper unit with lots of stairs but once inside it was a great place to relax after riding the bike path/trail just seconds from the place.

Clean and charming

The apartment is spotless, on a top floor (two flights of outside stairs). The kitchen is well equipped and there's a washer/dryer. The management was super responsive and patient with stupid questions. (Be sure to read the whole digital guide when you confirm the booking or else you'll never be able to figure the thermostat out.) Walking distance to the paths along the river--great for runners and walkers!

Excellent

We stayed for over 2 weeks. It's just as stated, clean, cute great location. There is the Roanoke Greenways trail across the street. We took advantage of that. It's an old craftsman house that's been converted into different areas. We were on the third floor The only negative is the stairs. We'd stay again.

Sweet Wasena!

We loved the property and apartment we stayed in! Clean updated and just the perfect space for a long weekend or weekly stay. Love the neighborhood and beautiful historical homes. Everything being in walking distance was a plus too! Would stay again and would love to have info on how to rent the lower apartment too! Thank you so much.
