About this property

Old Met #202 | 1 BR Corner View Overlooking Downtown Mall

This property has been selected for inclusion in The 100 Collection™, a global designation awarded to only the top professionally managed vacation rentals based on consistent quality and service.

Situated in Charlottesville's historic downtown and completely renovated in 2021, this 2nd floor 1 BR walk-up apartment represents what locals love: history and the Downtown Mall. Located on the corner of 1st and Main with views of the Downtown Mall, this lovely one bedroom encompasses the heart of Charlottesville and is at the center of great cuisine, art, theatre, live music, and incredible spectating.

With its original heart pine floors, this apartment boast quality and craftsmanship with features like granite counters, 6 ft tall windows overlooking the Mall, 9 ft ceilings, and modern design furnishings.

The location can't be beat in the middle of the downtown action!  We like to note to future guests that this is a popular area (especially on the weekends) and the noise level on the Downtown Mall may be higher particularly on Friday and Saturday evenings. There is an event venue below the apartment that may have considerable activity into the late evening (12:00am).

Great Stay in Charlottesville
This property was perfect for a girls weekend! Check in was fairly easy and the Stay concierge was responsive when we had questions leading up to our weekend! You can’t beat the location, overlooking the Downtown Mall and walkable areas of Charlottesville. The only small inconvenience is that you are only given one complimentary parking space. Additional cars are advised to park in a deck multiple blocks away for a fee. Otherwise, we had a perfect stay and would absolutely rent this apartment again!

Beautiful Downtown Apartment
A wonderful apartment right on the pedestrian mall. Be aware that Charlottesville does have a bit of a homeless issue and this right in the center of that issue.

Fantastic location, great for two couples! Check-in could be simpler. The fact that it’s a third party rental created confusion from the beginning.

We enjoyed a quick 2 night getaway after dropping our daughter off for soccer camp at UVA. The location of this property made it very easy to walk to a variety of places and enjoy all that Charlottesville has to offer. We would definitely stay there again.

Weekend Getaway
Great location. The apartment was right above downtown mall close to restaurants and bars. We spent the weekend at wineries and it was great to come back and eat dinner walking distance. The place is noisy at night due to location and the people outside walking through the downtown mall but we didn’t mind since we had sound machines to block out the noise. Overall, great place to stay!

Week-long stay
We stayed for a week at the VRBO. The property was as described - right on the outdoor mall so wonderful for walking to restaurants, etc. It can be a bit noisy especially on the weekends but with windows closed we had no trouble. The kitchen had the standard plates/glassware etc. but was pretty limited on cookware, tools - had to buy a can opener. Was very nice to have access to the Common House, a short walk from the unit for remote working. We would definitely stay again.

Comfortable Condo in the heart of Charlottesville
Located on the Downtown Mall, we parked the car upon arrival and didn’t need it again until departure. Lots of restaurants, entertainment venues and shops are easily within walking distance. The Mall itself is a pleasant diversion. The condo is comfortable, spacious and nicely decorated. Nighttime noise can be loud but I partially attribute that to our stay being a Friday and Saturday night in warm weather. If you have one, a white noise generator might be a good thing to bring along for the trip. This condo will definitely be a top consideration for any future trips to Charlottesville!

Great location, just a few things…
We arrived at our VRBO which was located in a fantastic area, and the location was walkable to most events. However, upon arrival the kitchen had not been cleaned the stovetop was dirty and there was dried egg yolk on the kitchen table. Very dusty. Our son ended up leaving to get a hotel room because the sleeper sofa did not have bedding available. Our daughter slept on the couch without pulling it out. We reached out and the maintenance manager had linens delivered the next day. Very quick in response. Again, great location. We were disappointed that we were not set up for our stay.

Property is nicely laid out and furnished. It was so nice to be able to spread out, whether it be in the living room or dining room. Both my husband and myself were able to set up our computers and work - without crowding each other out. Your team was wonderful! When we arrived, we immediately knew that we would want to extend our stay by one day. I called the office and your representative was quickly able to extend our reservation and email us a new parking pass.

Our daughter’s wedding was at The Metropolitan and being upstairs was the best decision.
Our daughter’s wedding was at The Metropolitan and being upstairs was the best decision. Most of the guest were at the Omni so it was easy to coordinate activities with them. Walkable to the rehearsal dinner, bridal luncheon & was so easy having everything so close. We were getting lined up to start the wedding and the bouquet wasn’t there. It was just upstairs so the coordinator just ran up the stairs and saved the day! The bride & groom also went upstairs between the ceremony & reception while we enjoyed the cocktail hour, then made their entrance through the main door. It was perfect! Everyone was incredible. Sarah Beasley was our point person for the venue & she helped with questions & request at the apartment. She did everything she could to accommodate our request. And with a smile and such a positive attitude.
