Everything you'll need
You'll likely need a car, but we knew that. "Up and coming" area, so not as vibrant as say Carytown, but you'll find everything you need. Great host.

Relaxing change of venue.
We are from Arizona and the weather for us was perfect. As we had not seen rain in a long while it was so very nice and relaxing. Drove down to Roanoke to go to Black Dog Salvage and it was a fun place to explore. The toll roads leave a bit to be desired but probably very necessary considering the amount of traffic on them. Lots of wonderful local restaurants that were all serving good food and great service.. It was a very relaxing week and most enjoyable.

The place was perfect for us. New construction so everything was new, very clean and well appointed. We would definitely stay here again if back in the area
Great beds and the unit had everything we needed for a quick stay. The host, Mr. Devine gave lots of great info about the area and was helpful all around. We loved walking around the neighborhood and found Brewers Cafe to be a delightful stop for local flavor and great breakfast sandwiches.
The only negative is that this is an apartment style unit, and there was quite a bit of noise from other the units
