Beds were very comfortable. Lots of room to relax. The noise from the shop below was only heard in the main living space and not in the bedrooms. Very convenient to grab morning coffee and breakfast from the shop downstairs. ##### Cathi L. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Charlyne C. 7 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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! ##### Charlyne C.

Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Kristin G. 22 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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! ##### Kristin G.

The coffee shop does enjoy some morning music, but the experience was phenomenal. ##### Sadler G. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Matt S. 14 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location with energy and noise of a city The location is fantastic - close to restaurants, music, etc. The down side is the neighboring businesses. The coffee shop, down stairs, starts playing music at 7:00am and plays the music until 8:00 or 9:00pm. A few storefronts down the street has live music until midnight. If you are comfortable with music until this time, then Gryphon is a good fit for you. The accommodations are comfortable and cozy and are ideal for a UVA, wine tasting, or historical weekend. ##### Matt S.

Perfect amount of space for 2 couples in a centralized location right on the downtown mall. We walked to dinner and right downstairs for coffee each morning.

Located over top of a cute coffee shop and many shops and restaurants steps away. If you like the smell of coffee you will love it. One of the bedrooms heard the music coming from the shop below but not enough to keep them awake. Would absolutely stay there again. ##### Elizabeth A.

Very comfortable! Leaving was a lot easier once we discovered the lot at the bottom of the back stairs. We could pull in to load up and leave. Wish we found it on arrival. All the doors could use some WD40 to stop them from squeaking. Overall, we loved everything about it! ##### Susan M.

The coffee smell in the unit was amazing and I’m not a coffee drinker! You can hear the music in the coffee shop below as everyone stated it’s not super loud and they play soft jazz- it added to the experience! We will def be back! ##### Kathryn J. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Amy W. 5 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Surprised by Situation The property is well located, comfortable and clean. It was very difficult to find, however, as the doorway is in the pedestrian mall where no cars are allowed. There are many homeless people nearby - and even immediately in front of the door to the apartment late one evening. The person did move when we asked. Others were grateful when we shared food with them. ##### Amy W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Katie B. 24 Sept 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun spot for a girls weekend The Gryphon was exactly as described online. The location was amazing and ease of access to dining and downtown options couldn’t have been better. The front door has to be unlocked and locked with a physical key each time you come or go which was a little bit of hassle because there is no deadbolt you can just flip when you come in the door. Lots of transients in the downtown mall area at night but we were not bothered. The amenities were exactly as described and perfectly sufficient for the girls wine weekend we needed. ##### Katie B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Sarah C. 13 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Great space & location but… We really enjoyed the space and the location is so great, however as others have mentioned before the music from the coffee shop is loud and we wouldn’t mind it so much except it starts extremely early. We also experienced a situation where we had to call the police twice because there were homeless people outside being very loud and threatening and the door is made up mostly of glass and we felt unsafe. ##### Sarah C. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth M. 10 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Wake up to the sounds of 90s grunge! Location was great - right on the downtown mall. We walked all over the downtown mall for food and shopping. This is located directly over Mudhouse coffee. The loud music at the coffeehouse starts at about 6:30am and goes until About 11 or midnight. We went down for delicious coffee and ironically, the music seemed much more muted inside the coffee house than in the apartment. The apartment is spacious and it was a great way to spend a weekend with friends. Bathrooms were nice but had some scratches and damage to the walls when we arrived. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of blankets and towels. Kitchen was very clean. You also need to know that the parking is $12 a day in the Water street parking garage. Other parking is more expensive or difficult to find off ##### Elizabeth M.

It was central in downtown mall. Many restaurants and shops. Numerous wineries near. A flight of stairs takes you to the apartment. There is no elevator. It is located right in the mall and above a coffee shop making the unit noisy. I knew that before I booked but it was louder than I expected. Music from coffee shop woke us up every morning. The apartment itself is very nice and updated. The beds are very comfortable. Even though the place was noisy it was the perfect location. I would stay there again but with a white noise maker in my bedroom. The managers of the unit were very helpful. Checkin and check out was seamless. Overall a great stay. ##### Pamela F.

It was a roomy space considering the location. Two bathrooms is a plus. The first night of our visit was a Saturday and at 6:30 AM on Sunday morning the music from the coffee shop below started LOUD and sustained. It wasn't what I would call mellow coffee shop Norah Jones type music either. Thumping music. The next morning the music wasn't as loud so it may have just been the employees that Sunday morning. We didn't mind the music in the evenings. I gave "Location" a three star only because of the noise downstairs and the homeless community that would congregate outside this popular coffee shop. It's actually a good location as it pertains to the Historic store front mall area. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay. ##### Jonathan W.

It did not feel safe. 1\. One of the rental managers came into the house unannounced (zero phone call or communication through VRBO) and knocked on the bedroom door of my daughters in their bedroom while they were asleep. He never gave us a heads up that he was going to come over for a repair (we didn’t request anything). Imagine a property manager just walking into your VRBO unannounced knocking on your teenage daughters’ bedroom door. 2\. Every city center has a homeless population; it’s part of the city center. But this place has a glass entrance door, and one homeless man urinated on the door one evening (we unfortunately saw it). The solution is to not have a glass door where the homeless can see into us. And it really needs a second door for extra security. But even with a second door, you aren’t safe since the property management team walks in unannounced. This just isn’t a safe property. The good news is that you can lock yourself in the bedrooms at night while you sleep, and we did so that. ##### Bobby H.

Can easily stroll down the mall to great restaurants and shops. The apartment is clean and comfortable with 2 nice bedrooms. The music from the coffee shop downstairs can be heard, but it gave us something to remember about our trip and stay in this beautiful apartment. ##### KAREN M.

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 ##### Christine M.
