Perfect location! We didn’t use our car for the entire stay, the central location allowed us to walk everywhere. The beds were super comfortable and the furnishings were adorable! You could hear music from the coffee shop below, but not in the back bedroom - and the music was done before bedtime. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location on the downtown mall. Can easily stroll down the mall to great restaurants and shops. The apartment is clean and comfortable with 2 nice bedrooms.

The actual apartment was nice and clean, with good furniture and things. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the area outside the front door was so dirty and it was a bit noisy for our liking. The homeless people outside the building detracted from the area, although we had sympathy for them. We had a nice stay, though. Thank you so much!

The location is outstanding: the apartment is in the heart of the city. You feel connected to the community, and everything Charlotte has to offer is easily accessible. We were a few doors down from the Omni, but I was happy to walk past the Omni to my urban apartment overlooking Downtown Mall

In most ways this was a delightful place to stay! We did not really use the kitchen and ate out at the downtown mall restaurants. It was nice to be able to just walk out on the mall. The flat is nicely decorated, bed comfortable. Our main complaint is how noisy it is. I was awaken by the leaf blower on the mall and the loud music from the coffee shop below. Luckily the music was turned down but it does continue all day until closing. So, not a place to read in quiet!

Delightful flat! Very comfy bedrooms, clean everything, in the thick of it, surrounded by restaurants, bars, shops & open air market on the weekend. Couple things to be aware of - 1. No parking with this rental, no a huge deal but the garage is around the corner so it doesn’t make luggage super fun. 2. You can hear everything in the coffee shop below. 3. There are a lot of homeless people that sleep in the area. 4. The door has a large glass section & doesn’t fell very secure BUT the area is under CCTV surveillance & advertises as such. Overall, GREAT rental, cool area!
