You couldn’t ask for a better location. The apartment is beautiful, could use some more lamps instead of all over head lighting originating by the front door and the hot water lasted all of 5 minutes, but honestly loved the spot.

Very roomy apartment, perfect location to downtown mall. Even with the cold, we were able to walk everywhere during our stay. It felt very large for a studio.

Got exactly what I expected: A clean, safe place to stay, steps to the Charlottesville downtown mall and with easy access to campus. Check-in, check-out process was easy and the info provided in unit covered everything I needed to know.

My wife and I stayed for two nights. Location, location, location for easy access to the the Downtown Mall and its vibrant collection of more than 120 shops and 30 restaurants housed in historic buildings along the city's Main Street.
The condo was nicely done and had plenty of amenities for a weekend stay.
Minor drawback was the road noise and fairly bright in the am due to the blinds.

The space is very nicely appointed and the location was good. As a senior with arthritis, some aspects of the condo were inconvenient. My oversight not to check is there was an elevator in the building - no. Could not get the shower knob to turn to use the hand-held wand - seems to be missing part of its handle. The bedside stands were barely 2' high which made use of them awkward. Also as a very short person, I could not reach many of the kitchen items - although too late I found a step stool in a closet.The restaurant directly below the unit had some very loud pounding music but not too late into the night.Lovely space but perhaps not for senior citizens.

The apartment was well-located and clean. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. We had an espresso maker but not a coffee maker and it was missed. It also would have been nice to have reading lamps near the bed. Overall, a nice place to stay for a short visit.

The loft is spacious and modern. Large bathroom with a great shower. The kitchen has a large, new fridge and all the kitchenware is Crate and Barrel. You will have to pay for parking, but the deck is only a block away. Remember to bring earplugs. The downtown location is very convenient, but there is a lot of street noise.

Loved the proximity to the downtown shopping area. Got to walk to shops and restaurants daily which was awesome. Movie theater is close by, which was neat! Apartment was clean and had pleasant accommodations. Didn’t realize there were so many homeless people in the downtown shopping area, could be uncomfortable at times especially when they were pan handling. That was the only negative thing I’d have to say about the area. Overall, great! Check out “The Glass Palette” if you are staying in the area, really cool glass art projects you can make.

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay in the Poseidon and would stay again! The location is so convenient to many walkable activities and the interior and features were just as described.
We appreciated receiving very clear check-in instructions in advance as well as the offer for concierge services (while we didn't take advantage of the concierge service as we've spent time in the area quite a few times before, it sounded very comprehensive).
Though technically a studio, the bedroom nook is separated enough to feel very cozy, and the bed and bedding were very comfy. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, pots, pans & small appliances, and dishes - everything you need and nothing you don't for casual cooking or baking. Items in the kitchen and bathroom all appeared quite clean, but the cleanliness of the overall apartment could use some attention (for example, sticky and discolored doorframes and handles on closet and entry doors).

Nicely remodeled, clean loft in great location basically on the downtown mall. Perfect for solo travelers or I suppose a couple with plenty of space to hang out. Only drawbacks are that it is on one of the main streets and so there is traffic noise to contend with and also the ceiling/floor to the unit above must be super thin as you can hear every footstep of anyone above. The person above during my stay had such heavy footsteps that I felt the bed shake. Other than those things it’s ideal.

Property was ultra convenient only one block from downtown mall. Coffee maker is a cup style Unit, so coffee we brought didn’t work out. Note there are 25 steps to reach the unit. Not an issue for us, but may be for a few.
Highs:
Comfy bed
Nice towels
Plenty of TP & dish soap
Super shower
Light & airy
Upscale appliances & cookware
Location
Clean
Lows:
Bathroom faucet only provides a small stream of hot water
Washer & dryer behind sliding doors that really are hard to move
TV is basically “App based” as no over the air local options. Bring your passwords!
Would absolutely stay here again!

The location is prime so close to restaurants and bars! We did the hop on tour which was only a 10 minute walk from the bnb! Didn’t have to get any taxis (I hear they’re hard to come by in Charlottesville). The place was so cute and had everything we needed.

Had a wonderful 2 days and enjoyed being downtown. Saturday farmer's market was across the street, and Cville's best bakery down the block.
Very stylish and comfortable apartment!

This is the perfect place to stay for exploring Charlottesville. You're right off the pedestrian mall and can walk to so many restaurants and shops. The photos are accurate; I think it was even nicer in person. It has a nice, airy loft feel; very contemporary. So spacious. Wonderful comfy king bed. I wish I could have stayed here longer and would love to come back.

Easy to find, and great location. Tons of eateries for quick grabs and nice restaurants as well.
The studio is clean, airy and well appointed. As a previous tenant mentioned, hot water for the shower is limited; it wasn’t a big problem as we split when we showered (night/morning) but it’s not optimal.
The bed is super comfortable. Linens are nice too. Slept easy.

We had a great time staying at this loft close to the downtown mall. We stayed 4 nights and wanted to be within walking distance of bars and restaurants. The location could not have been more convenient. The only downfall was having to pay for parking every day at the local water street public parking garage $12 per day. Otherwise our stay was perfect.
We did find the water does not stay warm too long in the shower. Just enough for one person to shower, so if you’re traveling with a partner maybe alternate showers, evening and morning. We were able to make it work. The water pressure was amazing and made up for the length of time it stayed warm.
To other travelers, note there is no elevator so you do have to carry luggage up two flights of stairs.
Thanks for a great trip to Charlottesville!

My husband and I were in Charlottesville for our anniversary and we stayed at this lovely property. The property manager was very responsive and accommodating to our request to check in early. It’s right downtown in the middle of everything with a short walk to UVA.
