Good Budget Listing for Short Trip
Elevator was broken and had to take multiple trips up 8 flight of stairs. Owner seemed very unconcerned; “These things happen.” When I asked for a few hours grace to check out later, I never heard from owner. Responded immediately when I said I was out of the property. Not a bad rental but beware of issues.

Great condo with Historic view!
This waterfront condo checks all the right boxes, clean, spacious, comfortable, quick walk to all things good, and an absolutely beautiful front seat view of the Historic Battleship along with stunning sunsets over the water. Host was responsive and incredibly generous. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Great Condo and downtown location
We were in town to visit family and attend a concert on the river. It's our second time staying in this building, first time in this condo. Location is great. You can walk to everything and you have a great view of Cape Fear river while drinking your morning coffee on the balcony.
The condo was clean and comfortable. A gift basket was left for us which included snacks and a couple of 'single serve' bottles of wine. (class act)
We would definitely stay here again.

All you could want
My wife and I came to Wilmington for our grandson's wedding and stayed at nicks condo. The view is amazing. The walk to the parking garage is no big deal. We parked the car on Thursday and didn't use it until we left on Monday. Everything is within walking distance. When I stay at these places I always find a few negatives. Well, I found none. Nick is the perfect host. . I would absolutely stay at Nicks condo again. The gift basket was a nice touch.

This was by far one of the best rentals we’ve experienced!! Gordon aka Nick was very available when needed. We loved it so much that we decided to stay another night and Nick made it very easy! The condo itself is located in the best part of downtown and within walking distance to everything you could possibly need! If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We will definitely be back!!!!

My one suggestion
I know this might seem like a small thing, but you need to upgrade the bath, hand, and face cloths. They appear to be old and grey and feel very scratchy.
