Staunton, Virginia
When 3 is a crowd, try a romantic hideaway for 2.
Just uphill from the downtown restaurants. A mid-century loft in a 1900 house. Our neighbor is the Stuart School. Perfect for your exploration of Staunton and the Valley.
The apartment is the top floor of this hill-hugging four-story, yet it is only one floor from the entrance.
A shared washer-and-dryer is one floor down.
Fiber optic wifi, and smart TV provides work and entertainment opportunities.
Parking is free on the street.
The space
A unified, open floor plan with kitchen, living room and bedroom around a common chimney. A decidedly mid-century take in a 1900 home.
Guest access
The top floor is yours. That includes kitchen, living room, bed and bath.
The entryway with its hidden washer and dryer are shared. Front porch is shared but yours to enjoy.
Other things to note
You have to climb stairs to get to this apartment.
This is a really cute studio in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Staunton. It was really convenient to all the restaurants and amenities in town. Street parking in front was easy. We really appreciated the nicely preserved historic charm of the studio too. The bathroom could use some improvements though. Clawfoot tubs are cool but are notorious for soaking the floor, so it would’ve been nice to have more than one tiny bathmat and one small towel bar - an additional bathmat and towel hook would go a long way. Also, the toilet seat is the wrong size/shape for the toilet, which results in it nearly falling in - if we’d been here more than one night I would’ve gone to Home Depot and replaced it myself for $20 and 5 minutes of effort, it was that unfortunate. It was also a little difficult to find the unit, as it did not have a number on the door and there are four total units in the building. Overall, it’s a nice place and we enjoyed our stay, but a few small (and inexpensive) fixes would’ve made it better.
Really great location especially for the price. Place was clean and well stocked (hair drier, iron, spare bedding, kitchen appliances, cleaners, etc.). I lived in Staunton for years and it definitely has that Staunton cute/quirky charm, so it feels more like a home away from home compared to the antiseptic feel of many of the nearby hotels. Parking was great, but you can walk into town if you’re so inclined and it’s right next to the park which has some stunning views of town. Neighborhood is quiet and charming and safe. The owner was very nice and accommodating. Highly recommend!
I am from Staunton and this is in its best neighborhood. The street past the house is narrow and very steep, like you're in Europe. The houses nearby are quirky but it's pretty quiet except for the occasional sound of someone playing an acoustic guitar on a distant porch. You get back to the loft and you just feel relaxed.
