NOT good

LOVE the town of FV but this apartment was DIRTY! I actually had to clean several spills (hopefully not vomit) from the floor upon arrival. I could see it with the glare of the sun only so that grossed me out. This place was not cleaned at all and there were so many disgusting things: water backed up in shower so stood in backed up water the whole time, towels were brown and had bleach marks on them and paper thin. Dollar store towels would have been better than this. We locked ourselves out bc the door locks automatically when closed (without key), someone came to let us in quickly but still does not make up for the nastiness. We heard scurrying the morning we left, which means MICE! The refrigerator appeared as if it was wiped off with a greasy cloth and the couch smelled of feces. SOOO much more I could type here :( very sad as was super excited to stay downtown and above Aviator. Never again, which makes me sad.

The bed was a bit uncomfortable for my liking and honestly, the couch in the living room should be replaced. It has the to be the most uncomfortable piece of furniture outside a Jail cell. Otherwise great place. Id stay there again in a different room if the couches are not the same. There's no real office area so to speak so I did a lot of work from the sofa. ...or tried to. Honestly, the back of the sofa is missing I think, looks like there should be some sort of back held on by velcro... not there. also the cushions practically disappear in to the sleeper beneath it. otherwise great stay

Another awesome visit

This apartment is centrally located to everything we need when we’re in town visiting family. It is spacious, super clean, and communication with the owner is always great. All basic dishes and pots/pans are provided which is nice, the in unit washer and dryer is a perk too. Highly recommend lunch or dinner at the smokehouse, you can’t go wrong staying here!

The location was fantastic! Quaint downtown that was easy to walk and check out the restaurants and shops. Loved the character of the the building the apartment is located in and the apartment itself. Also loved that the host leaves some delicious craft beer in the fridge for the guest.

Great Location if you like to walk to bars/restaurants

We first chose this location because it was close to where family lived. But we Loved that after spending time with family we could come back to our room and just walk across the street or next door to get a drink and some late night bites. There was always music and it was a great way to wind down.

The location was perfect and the staff at the smokehouse below the apartment were wonderful. We loved the beer left in the fridge for us. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!! It was perfect for a girlfirends getaway.

great place to stay in Fuquay Varina!

This was a small upstairs apartment above Aviator resto in Fuquay! These are 100 year old apartments---I suspect these three rooms were a doctor's office one hundred years ago---very interesting!! The room was GREAT--noise from outside was NEVER a problem---the apt is like daylight from two large skylights---the stacked washer dryer is new---and proved very useful!! Everything worked---no complaints---the price was great!! You will have some long 50s style steps to get up there---but I am 79 and had no trouble!! This VRBO is cost saving and unique!!

almost perfect

Simple, basic, convenient, very reasonably priced is how we would describe this property. Parking got a little tricky on the weekend if we wanted to return around dinner time, but we would definitely stay at this property again. It was just what we needed for our short visit with our daughter in Fuquay-Varina.

This was a super cool little apartment above a local restaurant. Live music right across the street Friday and Saturday nights but everything is quiet by 11pm or so. The place was clean and ready when we got there and check in was easy and completely painless. I will definitely try to stay here next time too!

I was staying for a few days while checking out a nearby flight school and the apartment was perfect! Super easy check-in/out, the aviation theme was neat, and the facility itself was great.
