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.

Great location

Location was great. Owner/ management company very responsive. Plenty of room for two couples or a small family. Trash from the group before us and some concerns with cleanliness of the bathroom. Curtain rod was broken in the downstairs bedroom leading to early morning sunshine. Overall, a good experience would likely stay here again if those things were addressed.

Downtown Apartment

This apartment was conveniently located downtown Charlottesville within walking distance of most all the restaurants and places we wanted to visit which was a huge perk. Property manager was very quick to help on the weekend when we had an issue with the lockbox, which they replaced before we left. Apartment was very clean and as advertised; only downside was the noise from the neighbors after midnight. Highly recommend!

Right on the Mall

The apartment was very nice, clean, comfortable and wonderfully located...right on the Mall. The property manager was also very responsive when I was a bit confused about how to enter through the very good security. My only recommendation to future travelers would be to bring Nespresso pods. The apartment has a great Nespresso machine, though pods are hard to come by. However, there are very good coffee shops in the immediate area. Our thanks to the host. It was just what we needed.

Location is the seller here

If you’re one concern is being as close to the restaurants, bars, and downtown mall, look no further. If your concerns are property cleanliness and a quiet environment, look elsewhere. The Gatsby is a large and old unit just off the downtown mall on 4th street. The property is feeling its age with rusting windows, a front door that has seen better days, and squeaky bed frames that “could” keep you up at night. Additionally, the restaurant below the unit blares club music until at least midnight each night. The unit was far from clean with dirty floors, hairs on the towels, and not enough soap for a 3 night stay. Given the price, I think you can find better honestly. 4 stars being propped up by the location and size.

Location is excellent

Great location, on the walking mall, just above an Indian restaurant. Access is easy to the rooftop with cool view of walking mall area with furniture to lounge in, although the rooftop area is shared with all apt owners in the building. Only thing that would make it better is for there to be curtains or shade on the high palladium window in the upstairs bedroom so that light from neighboring building doesn’t shine in all night, and having a nightstand on both sides of bed to lay phone/wallet/etc since there is no other furniture in bedroom.

There are a ton of stairs, which they do include in the description, but the a/c doesn't work well so it was quite uncomfortable in the upper level. Just really like it, although I love Charlottesville-we won't be back

Not worth the price tag

The apartment was clean and close to restaurants/shopping area. The deck area was not clean and as pictured. It is located on top of restaurant so there is a consistent smell of curry inside the apartment and on deck. There is a significant homeless population. At night they use store fronts as camps and it gets pretty interesting at night time. They were several loud arguments amongst them, the police had to come one of the nights.

Fun Location!

We enjoyed our stay while visiting UVA. Location was fun on the downtown square, but directly above a restaurant and near bars was very noisy on a Friday night. We also had the luck of a marathon that ran through downtown Saturday morning, quite early, which was a little rough. The decor is nice, but some wear is apparent and beds could use a refresh as they were saggy and seemed little worn out. Towel rack in upstairs bath fell off when taking off a towel. Overall, would recommend for anyone who wants to be within walking to the charming old town, restaurants, bars and cute coffee shops.

Nice location

Only thing I would recommend the owner do is invest in a new bed and possibly better pillows for the downstairs room. Very uncomfortable spring mattress that was also extremely noisy with even the slightest movements. My wife and I had 3 pretty poor nights of sleep. However, the apartment itself was pristine and beautiful. Location is unparalleled. Easy remedy.
