The perfect destination for your Charlottesville visit in the hip neighborhood of Belmont. From this modern apartment, you can walk to the best restaurants the city has to offer as well as the popular Downtown Mall and IX Art Park. The University of Virginia and Monticello are each just a short drive, and the home is convenient to the Monticello Wine Trail and Skyline Drive.

The space
There are a few stairs down to your private patio and entrance to the 1-bedroom modern basement apartment. The couch (recently upgraded, gray in color, and have photographer scheduled so reflects in listing photos) turns into a full-sized bed and the queen bed is located in the bedroom, where you'll also find a spacious bathroom (with great water pressure!). We've had many guests who rave about the bed, especially those who love a more firm mattress. There is a fully stocked kitchen with a full size fridge, a dishwasher, and coffee maker. There is a 50" Smart TV and high speed Ting internet. Although we don't have cable, you can access Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube from the Smart TV.

The apartment is perfect for a getaway for two but we can accommodate up to four.

The main part of the house (top 2 floors) has its own separate entrance and is also listed on airbnb on a much more limited basis. If you are looking to bring a larger party please check out that listing (Belmont Home with Hot Tub - Steps from Downtown). Please note the Hot Tub is NOT available for guests in the basement apartment.

The heat/AC control is in the Upstairs Home, but we have remote access to adjust temperature. We consistently monitor the AirBnB app so quickly can adjust temperature upon guest request.

While there is no reserved parking, there is typically plentiful street parking, including the street directly across from the apartment. You may NOT park in the Belmont Lofts parking lot or in the reserved spaces in the back of the house.

Please note that do have a security camera of the exterior of the home, on the front porch and another that is focused on the parking area for the upstairs home. The cameras are motion activated and record audio and video.

Guest access
You'll be in the basement apartment and have use of the private patio in front of the apartment. You will not have access to the upstairs or the back patio unless you have also rented that space.

Other things to note
We do live upstairs, so you may hear footsteps from time to time, as you would with any basement/garden unit. When we are out of town we do hosts guests in the upstairs home. We're happy to greet you or leave you to yourself to enjoy your stay. We live near a train, but it is incredibly quiet! We rarely even hear it unless we are outside on our balcony. Because of our proximity to the hospital, the train must go slowly and is not allowed to sound any whistles, so you may not even know it is there. What you usually hear are the sounds of birds chirping and the faint hum of music when bands play at the Amphitheater on the Downtown Mall.

You'll have a private patio, and a serene space on our quiet street. Our neighbors are terrific and many will happily tour you around their gardens or welcome you to the neighborhood. Even though our corner is extremely quiet, given that we’re only blocks away from downtown and just steps from bustling Belmont, you will hear city sounds from time to time and noise from upstairs. We do provide a sound machine in the bedroom, but would not recommend this listing (or any basement unit) if you are extremely sensitive to sound.

Neighbourhood highlights

We are steps away from incredible food, entertainment and surrounded by beautiful gardens and eclectic homes. There is a beautiful green space and community garden just across the street. Less than one block away are the best restaurants you'll find on the East Coast! Mas Tapas is our favorite for dinner! We love Brazos Tacos at IX Art Park for breakfast, or check out Fox’s Cafe for old school home cooking. Bluegrass Grill and Bakery and The Nook are other popular breakfast spots in easy walking distance. Other incredible restaurants in Downtown Belmont include Junction, The Local, Tavola, and Southern Crescent (New Orleans style). The popular Lampo Neopolita Pizzeria is just around the corner, next to the Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative, where you can also find Quality Pie.

The Downtown Mall, the IX Art Park, and the up-and-coming Carlton Business & Arts District are each only about a 10 minute walk from our home.
