Located in the Magic City of Roanoke and just walking distance from Downtown Roanoke and Carilion Hospital, is this beautiful home with plenty of character. Perfect for you and the family whether you are a medical professional, here for business or anyone who enjoys mountain views and great sunsets. The home sits on a beautiful gentle slope surrounded by famous restaurants and parking lots. You don't want to miss this beauty!
This property was a disappoint. It has potential because of location and historical district. It is not elderly friendly due to the steep stairs and multi levels on the ground floor. The oven would not work and the manager supplied a new oven the same day but it would not work either. It appears the electric panel was installed incorrectly. Then discovered only one fire alarm worked. The dining table was broken and both end table. Not enough seating in the living room for the number of people advertised to stay. Bath water was lukewarm. Mattresses upstairs rolled to the middle. Air conditioner was not working properly but think that is an electric panel issue also. There is only one exit in the event of a fire. I have usually had really good luck with VRBO but not this time.
Good - The house is in a nice location to be able to walk places, the street is mostly quiet, and traffic is super reasonable.Neutral - the house is seriously wonky. Maybe don't book it if you have balance issues.Bad - One of the towels had a brown stain on it which didn't set us up to feel clean, one of the AC vents upstairs wasn't blowing so the room was hot, the beds are small and so soft that you feel like you're falling off the edge if you get close to it, there's an EMS station at the end of the block so there are sirens at random times, and there was a family of skunks living under the porch/downstairs bedroom. To expand on that last one, every day from about 5pm-9am, there were 3 skunks walking around the yard. I accidentally scared one and watched it retreat around the house and climb under the porch, where it looks like they live. Going outside felt like rolling the dice on getting sprayed and you could faintly smell them all night. On our first night, one sprayed under the house and the bedroom smelled horrible for hours. I contacted the host and he did respond quickly saying he'd address the problem but we left too soon to see if anything came of it.If it wasn't for the skunks it would have been a decent stay with a few annoyances, but the fear of stepping outside and the constant smell seriously detracted from our stay. If someone removed the skunks and installed a barrier under the porch, it's not a bad stay. Bring your own towels.
Says sleeps 6. Only 3 beds and 1 couch, beds are full beds so 2 adults is tight. Sleeps 4 comfortably⊠but only 1 bathroom which was a challenge. It worked for us because we were in a softball tournament all weekend and so really we were only at the house to sleep. But if you plan on spending a lot of time at the house, itâs not great for entertaining.
This property is in a great location with easy parking and accesibility downtown. The neighborhood has historical charm, and while the house is definitely older it does have basic amenities. My only 2 added comments are the kitchen isnt very well stocked if you were looking to cook (they did have a little coffee bar though!) And the beds are very soft, so not the most comfortable for adults!Nonetheless, the host was very responsive about towels and additional items for our stay.
