About this apartment rental

The Gryphon is located above one of the most iconic coffee shops in Charlottesville, be aware that noise from the coffee shop can be heard in the unit. This is a 2 bedroom, 2 full bathroom flat with views overlooking the downtown mall from the spacious living area. A skylight floods the kitchen area with light! This lovely recently renovated apartment also has a laundry room with full size washer and dryer as well as a covered balcony at the back. 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. *Please note, no parking is included with this rental, the most economical option is the Water Street parking garage a few blocks away.

The Gryphon is a nice apartment. It was a roomy space considering the location. Two bathrooms is a plus. The first night of our visit was a Saturday and at 6:30 AM on Sunday morning the music from the coffee shop below started LOUD and sustained. It wasn't what I would call mellow coffee shop Norah Jones type music either. Thumping music. The next morning the music wasn't as loud so it may have just been the employees that Sunday morning. We didn't mind the music in the evenings. I gave "Location" a three star only because of the noise downstairs and the homeless community that would congregate outside this popular coffee shop. It's actually a good location as it pertains to the Historic store front mall area. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

We loved the aesthetic of the Gryphon! Perfect amount of space for 2 couples in a centralized location right on the downtown mall. We walked to dinner and right downstairs for coffee each morning. Exactly what we needed for our “parents weekend and wine trip!” Would definitely recommend

Do not go to the coffee shop downstairs. They play lousy music that shakes the floor. You really need to crank music in the living room so you don’t hear it. You can’t hear it in the bedroom, though. Nice place but noisy. We were there at Christmas and heard every Christmas song ever written.

The coffee shop was a little loud but not too bad. It was a great condo. We loved the location of it very easy to walk to all sorts of things.

Absolutely loved staying here! Super clean, well decorated and super spacious. The spot was absolutely perfect, we walked up and down Main Street enjoyed the shops and restaurants. The coffee smell in the unit was amazing and I’m not a coffee drinker! You can hear the music in the coffee shop below as everyone stated it’s not super loud and they play soft jazz- it added to the experience! We will def be back!

The property was in a great location. It was central in downtown mall. Many restaurants and shops. Numerous wineries near. A flight of stairs takes you to the apartment. There is no elevator. It is located right in the mall and above a coffee shop making the unit noisy. I knew that before I booked but it was louder than I expected. Music from coffee shop woke us up every morning. The apartment itself is very nice and updated. The beds are very comfortable. Even though the place was noisy it was the perfect location. I would stay there again but with a white noise maker in my bedroom. The managers of the unit were very helpful. Checkin and check out was seamless. Overall a great stay.

The Gryphon was exactly as described online. The location was amazing and ease of access to dining and downtown options couldn’t have been better. The front door has to be unlocked and locked with a physical key each time you come or go which was a little bit of hassle because there is no deadbolt you can just flip when you come in the door. Lots of transients in the downtown mall area at night but we were not bothered. The amenities were exactly as described and perfectly sufficient for the girls wine weekend we needed.

The property was completely accurate per web-sit. Wonderful condo right in the heart of downtown. Check in was a bit hard (trying to work the lock) but we finally made in it. The stairs are a bit rough when carrying heavy luggage up, all minor though. It is a wonderful VRBO and beautiful condo that is filled with lovely antiques.
