Great Location, Responsive Host, Comfy Bed

We had an excellent stay! The apartment was spacious and clean with a very comfortable bed. This location is perfect for staying out of the center of the city, but close to things to do. Walking distance to restaurants and transportation. The host was very responsive and helpful.

This place is beautifully furnished and very spacious. What really made it a stand out was the great communication from the owner and all the welcome surprises when we arrived.

Great place to stay!

I went to Charlotte for a two week visit. Too long for a hotel stay so I found this apartment and was I ever pleased! Spotlessly clean is an excellent way to describe the apartment! It was so nice to have all the little extras, (the wine, food, music, even toilet paper, etc.), that the owner provided. The neighborhood was so interesting to walk and explore every morning. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay in Charlotte and I will definitely stay here again.
