At first wasn’t sure when we arrived but we’re so surprised at how great the apt was and how easy it was to use their system. And a great brewery on site. Would definitely stay again.

I thought the unit was nice however there were some cleanliness issues, staining/what looked like mold on the shower curtain, and the towels were really flimsy and kinda cheap. I feel like with a few updates it could be even nicer but it was a fine place for a few days. Definitely a good location and was quiet.

I love that this is a repurposed elementary school! It was clean, roomy for the two of us (and our dogs). Plenty of grassy area. We are notbeer drinkers but the brewery is a great idea and looked like a nice patio to hang out in if it had been warmer. It is also convenient for a quick drive to downtown. We have already referred a friend to this place and would stay again if we return to Roanoke.

I was in apt 102 and the door to the bathroom facing the kitchen got jammed and I couldn’t open it when I was inside. I thought the second door was just a closet lol but luckily it led to the bedroom and I could leave. Also I felt like the booking process could have been clearer about filling out the form in order to be sent access codes.

Spacious apartment but housekeeping needs work

The apartment has an "industrial" decor. The floor is cement (and cold) and the rooms are very darkly decorated. It had a man-cave feel to it. It was definitely not the cleanest, as hair was in the bathroom in the tub and on the washer/dryer. The floor was so sticky we had to wash our shoes after we left. The bed was extremely comfortable and the apartment is spacious with huge TVs in the living and bedrooms. Smoke detectors were going off in multiple apartments on our floor until midnight - this was unfortunate!
