I live in Roanoke (rented the space for extra family) so I can attest that this is a great location. Out-of-towners should know that “downtown” activities would require a drive but the Grandin Village business district is easy walking distance from here, with access to several shops, restaurants and taverns, a wine shop, an independent movie theater, a locally owned grocery, and a charming used book store. It’s one of my favorite areas of town. Meanwhile, the property is exceptionally clean. Not a speck of dust, crumb, or stray hair to be found. If you want fancy, find a boutique hotel. I’m happy with the details here — like cool hardware (probably original) on the kitchen cabinets and porcelain sinks in the kitchen and bath, plus the beautiful black-and-white tile in the latter. The apartment is also thoughtfully well-stocked. Every “extra” we needed was already there: iron and ironing board, toaster, additional toiletries, and so on. I even found shoe scuff repair! :)The carport provided easy access to the back door which was very handy. I initially thought it was dimly lit then, voila!, a motion light kicked on. I’m so glad to know about this property. I don’t know how often I’ll need the extra space, but would readily rent it again or recommend it to others as the occasion arises.
