Weekend at the Penthouse

WONDERFUL! This was an outstanding property located in a perfect location. Parking wasn’t hard to find but it was 2 blocks. There was outside noise you can hear at night but having lived in NYC we didn’t mind. We reallly enjoyed the comfort the Penthouse offered and are looking to book again for a longer stay..

Amazing location! Cool space! A couple of hiccups!

We enjoyed our stay at this cool loft space in Charlottesville. The location can’t be beat-we loved the proximity to the ped mall and easy access to everything we wanted to do in C’ville (UVA, Monticello, Shenandoah). The penthouse is beautiful-impressive and thoughtfully designed. It felt both fancy and just like home in the best way. Access to the unit is a bit cumbersome with many key codes-but provided directions were detailed and clear. Our code to the actual unit did not work on arrival; but the manager’s response was swift and appropriate. We sought their assistance again when we couldn’t locate bedding for the fold out sofa bed. In the end, they provided a code to a locked closet in the unit and suggested we look amongst the laundry bags for linens (unfortunately, there were many kitchen trash bags of linens and it was quite off putting to have to search through trash bags for sheets). On another note, the advertised in unit washer and dryer were also in this locked space-making the listing a bit misleading. To end on a positive note, we appreciated the sleek design, comfy beds, amazing steam shower, and top notch location! It was a great launching pad for our long weekend in Charlottesville.

Fun Stay in Cville

We enjoyed our stay, the place was ver nice. We loved the walkability, enjoyed browsing the shops and had a great lunch at Tilman’s! There was a little rowdy noise, in the middle of the night Friday, from the mall but everything else was great!

Beautiful modern airy loft

We had an amazing stay. You can’t beat the location right on the mall. Loved waking up every day and drinking coffee on the couch by the huge windows in the living area. Everything is comfy and well-appointed. Some late night street noise but appreciated the white noise machines. I’d love to stay again.

Virginia Beach Extension

The location is perfect for shopping, restaurants, and pubs. The loft is spacious, clean, and the kitchen is well equipped. Be careful and pack light though, there is no elevator and many steep steps to climb to get to the loft. Also, the only reason I rated this a 4 on cleanliness is because of the entrance and hallways leading to the loft. The loft was very clean, but the building itself was not.

Really fun experience

My husband and I had a 2 night, mid-week stay at the penthouse. It is a very creatively layed out space - the designer did a remarkable job. Everything is just as in the pictures and even better. It is located literally on the mall with outside dining right below so it can be noisy at times but that is all a part of staying right on the mall. Be aware though that there are a lot of stairs to climb to get to the penthouse - carrying your luggage. We are in our early 70's and didn't have a problem but if stairs are an issue then reconsider a stay. We spent an entire day eating and going into shops and walking around. The mall has a relaxed vibe and has a small town European feel to it with the eclectic mix of stores and interesting people-watching time. There are 3 French restaurants, 1 Himalayan and numerous others including Citizen Burger on the mall. So for a fun experience - and a very cool place to stay try this rental.

Perfect - Other Than Parking

The penthouse was beautiful & was right in the center of the charming downtown Charlottesville ❤️ We were able to enjoy great food & a couple of the local fun spots & required no driving!! Only down fall is parking- there really needs to be either a designated place for parking or validation as it can get cumbersome renewing parking (in the closer lots) not to mention expensive- we finally figured out the parking deck on 2nd street was our least expensive way of parking. This really needs to be disclaimed at booking! Other than parking - it was perfect!!!!❤️
