This place had everything we needed for a quick day trip to Harpers Ferry. Loved being able to go downstairs for a pizza and some beer after a long hot day!
10.0 / 10.0
For my annual MC excursion with my brothers, this worked out great. We could park our bikes nearby (free on the weekend) and cool off in the brewery or walk to a few restaurants. Manager/host is very responsive.
8.0 / 10.0
To start with the positives. Such a cool town and great location. After a long drive with children, being able to drop our stuff off and have a bite and a beer at the brewery below was awesome. For that alone we’d stay again! The place was well stocked, which was a definite plus.
There could be improvements on the place. For one, the listing says the bed is a queen. It’s not, it’s a double. My husband is a pretty big guy, so we were cramped. The nightstand had a broken drawer and the dresser was missing handles.
As I said before, we’d stay again here and overall enjoyed our short stay.
8.0 / 10.0
We had a very good experience staying here. However, I feel the owner should upgrade his pots and pans, get a toaster, as part of staying in a VRBO is the ability to cook. We did, but it could use some upgrades in that area.

Girls Weekend Getaway
Sisters, daughters, nieces having a blast in Charlestown and Harpers Ferry for a long weekend. Property was great! Close to unique local shopping, the Hollywood Casino and a short drive to Harpers Ferry. Loved it!

Suited our needs just fine.
This was a one night stay for our family of five on our way back from Williamsburg to our home in Pennsylvania. We wanted to spend some time in Harper's Ferry and this was a convenient location and comfortable accommodation.

Wonderful stay in Charles Town, WV
We came for the weekend to attend a wedding in Virginia and a day in D.C. The location is perfect for proximity to fast food, gas stations, drug stores, as well as within an hour of both places we wanted to visit. It was a great stay! One note- the apartment does not have central air so there are units in all the rooms. We were fine but it did get hot at night so be prepared! We loved it! We would stay again.

Exactly as Described
This is very much a case of what you see/read is what you get. We got a third floor apartment exactly as described and were very happy with it.Communication was great, check in was easy, location was great. It is an old building and you could hear some street noise but nothing that would be disturbing if it wasn't car show weekend... We didn't know about that, didn't plan on it but it ended up adding a fun element. We got to watch them set up, we chatted with a couple of car owners then went about our day. By the time we got back around five, everything was cleaned up and quiet again.
Thanks for a great weekend!

Amazing location, good communication
Amazing location right next to ale works. Very easy and convenient location to grab different food and drinks within 1-5min walk. Very nice property, ACs were running great. Love that there’s laundry on site.

Want to write this review and recommend the apartment in charlestown. Location is top notch, 15 mins from Harpers Ferry and about an hour from the entrance to skyline drive. The owner was extremely accommodating and responsive. Would recommend!

Nice Apartment in Great Location
Nice, renovated, comfortable apartment in a historic building in a great location in Charles Town! Located in the cute downtown area of Charles Town, above the Abolitionist Ale House, which has great food and beer! A great place for a girl's weekend!
5.0 / 10.0
We loved the rental. It was a cute, clean apartment in a beautiful historic building, right above a great brewery. The kitchen had everything we needed. It's in the middle of downtown, near historic sites and a short drive from Harpers Ferry. In terms of COVID considerations, the apartment had cleaning and disinfecting materials available. The brewery was also practicing good COVID precautions: all the staff was wearing masks, they required masks to go inside and there was a nice patio with tables spaced apart.(One warning is that the brewery is only open on Thurs-Sun, with beer to-go on other days. Other establishments are also closed Monday, Tuesday, etc.)

Your Friend's Condo
If you are looking for a place to stay with amenities that feel like you are staying in someone's apartment as opposed to a hotel, then this would be a good place for you because everything that you need is provided. The portable AC units were a little loud and musty and the condo is more historical than in the photos, but overall it was fine. Someone in a previous review mentioned the steps and we were on the third floor. Not an issue for us at all, but worth mentioning for someone who might not be able to climb steps well.

Quaint little apartment
Great little apartment in close proximity to restaurants and bars. Perfect for a short stay. Would have also been perfect if we would have stayed longer. Management is quick to respond to questions.

Clean and cozy
Clean and cozy for a weekend getaway. Comfortably set for sleeping 5 people. Air mattress used to sleep 2 extra people (air mattress had a leak). Could use more sitting furniture for living room (only 1 couch). No kitchen table or chairs for eating area. Enjoyed the stay but was too small for 7 adults. Owner was quick to respond to any questions and staff at restaurant below were very friendly and helpful.

Comfortable, charming,great location
The apartment was just the right size. The beds were very comfortable and we didn't get any noise from the ale house downstairs. The tub was awesome and there was plenty of hot water. Everything was clean and modern. My only thought is that you should tell people is the third floor, no elevator and crazy steps!
