This was a great location with lots of character. We had several meals that we prepared in the kitchen, and enjoyed the neighborhood and convenience to other locations.
Great location, walk to good food, entertainment, farmers market. Irene very quick to reply, I made a huge mistake checking in and she not only was quick to help, but quick to rectify! Thank you!!!
This property worked well for 3 friends to meet somewhat equi-distant from our homes in three states. It was all we needed to spend time together and explore Roanoke. We had great weather and enjoyed the outdoor patio in the evening..
We arrived during Helene hurricane and had no power for first few days. Owner was very helpful and it wasn't her fault so we stayed and walked to town since it had electricity. All in all our stay was still enjoyable.
Convenient location. Adequate place to stay but could use some TLC. Street lights from the church across the street shined very brightly in the bedroom window so some room darkening curtains would be helpful. The only bathroom is in the bedroom so this was awkward with my friend staying with me. The host was quick to respond and helpful with questions.
The photos posted for this unit do not convey the actual filthy, rundown condition of the property. My wife and I booked a 3-night stay but left after the first night because we were so disgusted. When we reached out to VRBO for a refund we were initially denied because the host claimed we were a cancellation, which was a lie. Eventually, they came around to seeing it our way and gave us a full refund. It's unfortunate that VRBO does not allow guests to post photos of properties because that would put an end to listings like this one. I'm shocked that this host is "premier" with a 4+ star rating. I'm guessing it's because most guests don't want to leave a bad review for fear that the host will respond with an undeserving bad review. Personally, I don't care. I'll speak the truth even if it prevents me from securing a VRBO booking ever again.
Excellent location, easy to walk to all the delights of Grandin Village. The parking spot is a plus although we saw ample street parking available as well. Big, nicely outfitted kitchen. Very quiet and relaxing stay.
I've stayed at Irene's apartment twice and it's been perfect both times. It is clean, the kitchen is well- stocked, the beds are comfy, and the location is perfect. It is a great value!
The Raleigh Court neighborhood and the property manager were very welcoming. The apartment is located in a quiet and safe area that is a very short walk to Grandin Village. The greenway is also walking distance from the apartment. I stayed for several weeks and always felt comfortable coming and going.
Great neighborhood. Wd had a lovely stay within walking distance of a cute coffee shop and restaurants. It is a First floor apt., so we did hear footsteps on hardwood floors and faint voices on 2nd fl above us- during the night- which woke us up. It was a nice size apt. with a kitchen which is better than a hotel stay.
It was a great location and fit our needs. Easily walked to several restaurants and close drive to great hiking and Black Dog Salvage! Thanks for offering your place to us!
We enjoyed staying in a lovely apartment within walking distance of the shops and restaurants in Grandin. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the necessities including an excellent assortment of pots and pans, plenty of silverware and drinking glasses, etc. The king size sleigh bed was super comfortable as was the additional bed in the other bedroom. The internet and television worked perfectly. I highly recommend this lovely property!
Property was well equipped for all our needs. Very convenient to local restaurants, shopping, etc. Irene was a wonderful host and went above and beyond to make our stay special.
This was a perfect place for my husband and I to stay while visiting family. Clean and comfortable. Like all Grand
Old Ladies, there was clearly some age with the building. The area was great. Furnishings were quality. Glad to have off-street parking. We ate out so did not use kitchen. Scratch Biscuits and Our Daily Bread had great breakfast. Thank you, Irene, for sharing this period gem.
My Family and I are from the Roanoke area. I was born in Greece (one of my favorite parts of the World) and lived in the Pittsburgh area before marrying and moving to Roanoke. I worked in the financial services sector and then one day I had a mid life crisis. With the help of my Family we opened a Bistro/restaurant in Roanoke that we ran for 17 years. I am now semi retired and run a small catering business and help with our property management business. We Love to Travel (especially to Greece) and I love to cook and entertain. I truly enjoy hosting our properties and showing off the Roanoke valley and all that it has to offer.
Grandin Village is a vibrant community that you can easily walk too from the apartments. You will see people walking with their children or pets and everyone is very friendly. There are many small mom and pop restaurants and shops including the Grandin Theatre, Farmers market (Saturdays), The Roanoke Greenway and Black Dog Salvage. To me this is what a small community should be all about.
