Check out all of our residences at our Host Profile. We offer discounts for long-term stays, so please ask. Well-behaved, quiet pets are allowed in most of our properties with a pet fee.

Our beautifully appointed condo in the charming Hawthorne building is in the desirable and walkable Elizabeth neighborhood.

Kick back, relax, and enjoy our complimentary snacks and beverages.

This first-floor residence is full of artwork by local artist Nico Amortegui, well-known for large-scale paintings and installations throughout NC and the Smithsonian.

Upholstered furniture in the spacious living room provides comfortable seating for you to enjoy the flatscreen television with both streaming and Hulu Live. There is a pull-out sofa bed just in case you need an extra bed.

Ultra-fast Wi-Fi and a large desk allows business travelers to stay plugged into their busy schedules.

The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, utensils, etc. and the adjacent dining room comfortably seats four and includes all the place settings.

The main bedroom has a king-sized bed with a flatscreen television, and comfy chair. The bathroom is equipped with Nest bath products for your convenience.

Our residence is in historic Elizabeth, one of the nicest, most pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods in the city where generations of prominent Charlotteans have made their home. Immerse yourself in tree-lined streets, beautiful parks, and vibrant local scene await.

Hawthorne Avenue is the heart of Charlotte’s health care district. Plaza Midwood and Uptown are a short ride away on the streetcar.

This incredibly safe community provides an ideal place for walking or jogging, and you are just a half mile walking distance from more than 40 locally owned restaurants (Italian, Mexican, Cajun, and Mediterranean). For breakfast, try Central Coffee or Villani’s Bakery. Our favorite full-service spots include Customshop (local cuisine), Cajun Queen (Louisiana soul food) and Intermezzo (Italian).

If you are looking for local gems, check out The People Market, Menya Durama (Ramen), and Moo & Brew (burgers). My favorite BBQ joint is Midwood Smokehouse (but this is a touchy subject in the crossroads of BBQ).
Have a beer at Legion Brewery, a drink at the infamous Thirsty Beaver (Mick Jagger’s favorite spot), or a cocktail at the Crunkleton. Many of our neighborhood restaurants have patios that welcome dogs.

If shopping is on the schedule, you will find many locally owned shops on the ‘Plaza Piazza,’ including antiques, fine gifts, wines, and bespoke clothing for men and women. Elizabeth is also a neighborhood with a vibrant nightlife. If you’re looking for an exciting place to stay in Charlotte, you’ve come to the right place.
Uptown Charlotte is only one mile away and a short walk or ride to the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC Stadium, Hornets/Spectrum Arena, Knights Baseball Stadium, Discovery Place, Convention Center, Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, Mint Museum, Spirit Square, Gantt Center for African American Arts + Culture, Discovery Place Science, and NASCAR Hall of Fame.

Great walkable location in Charlotte

Loved the location, so many great restaurants, breweries and coffee close by. Beautiful neighborhood with lots of trees and gardens. The birds and traffic were a bit noisy, but we slept very comfortably. Management was very responsive when we needed something.

Great Location, Responsive Host, Comfy Bed

Cute historic home for long-term stay

I stayed here for two months and it was the perfect long-term stay. It's a great location (that one day will be on the trolley line if it's ever finished), and in a cute neighborhood that's very walkable with a park at the end of the street. The house is older so there are some quirks (like a separate hot and cold water faucet in the bathroom and the oldest oven you ever did see). While it is on a busy street with some occasional construction, the bedroom is in the back of the house and is very quiet (with blackout curtains). This is a great value, especially for long-term renters as the apartment is very sizable with plenty of room to spread out, work, relax, and sleep. It is the downstairs apartment, so if there's a renter upstairs, you may be able to hear footsteps (or dogs). Overall, I'd definitely return if I ever needed a place to rent again!

Enjoyable, but loud stay...

The property was immaculate upon my arrival. You can tell the owners that great pride is presenting a quality home to their guests. I enjoyed the wine and snacks...and for breakfast they had orange juice and english muffins available. This is a very central location. My only and biggest complaint is there was a construction zone right in front of the unit. The noise was so loud it was shaking the building. I could barely hear myself think and this noise woke me up every morning. Guess I should've done more research before choosing this property. I'd likely stay in one of their properties again, but I would do more research so I don't have the frustration of staying in a construction zone again.

Life savers

The accommodations were terrific. The amenities are all first class. But we will always try to stay with this group again because after babysitting my granddaughter I lost my code to apartment and at 230 in the morning I called and was texted code within minutes. DEFINITELY will be back. Thanks for all.

Great location and good for this time of year and our activities

Nicely furnished one bedroom first floor in old building. The place was clean and had some wine and snacks ready for us (much appreciated) and the owner very responsive. Just for full disclosure; Wood floors throughout so you definitely hear the upstairs neighbor whenever they are home. We did not have any troubles with this as the neighbor is not up late or overly active, but just FYI. Dining room window ac was trifling to cool the space. We mentioned to owner who said they would review topic so would ask about that if weather would be hot. Was ok for us as not hot. Also the kitchen and bath are very dated so should you desire to cook a lot or spend time in bath, most likely not the choice spot. Considering all of the above it is functional and worked well forbus All in was clean and convenient and served our purpose just fine, especially considering price versus downtown hotels.

Amazing Host, Great Location, Cozy Place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Charlotte and would reserve this property again. The hosts made us feel completely welcome with goodies and drinks upon arrival. The kitchen is fully stocked and the place was very clean. We spent a lot of time on the lovely front porch and walked to restaurants nearby. The host was responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend this property.

Nice location.

Tastefully decorated. Owners are super responsive. A broken shower head was replaced immediately. I would recommend staying here. My reason for not giving 5 stars is it needs a more thorough Spring cleaning. Possibly due to construction in the area.

A great space in a great neighborhood

It's spacious, bright and cheery. The decor is quirky but very functional. I spent a month and could happily have stayed much longer. The kitchen was amazingly well equipped for cooking and dining, and the hosts left many starter provisions including the fixings for a spaghetti dinner complete with wine. For sleeping comfort, the bedroom gets 5 stars, but the apartment really doesn't accommodate 4 adults comfortably. The location is outstanding... It's an easy walk to all sorts of good restaurants and stores, and to 3 excellent bakeries (the walk cancels out the calories). It's also just minutes from downtown, museums and other attractions.

The place to stay

in town for a weekend getaway with the family. Quaint and well appointed with vintage charm. Plenty of room for the middle schoolers to sleep on the pull out in this large 1 BR apt. Everything is considered, even wall hooks in just the right places. We got into town very late and were delighted to find some snacks and a quick breakfast, including coffee!, to hold us over until we could get out in the morning. The wine and distilled spirits were also appreciated...including a lime!! Love the front porch, the weather was perfect for a nap! Communications with the owners were on point, including a list of recommended restaurants within easy walking distance of apt. Would definitely stay here again.
