Downtown Winston-Salem Condo w/ Private Library!

Reviews

• Nice place with one caveat for us

  4/5

  We've stayed at a lot of short term and long term airbnbs, first time at a Evolve property. Here's our thoughts.

  + The property was very clean

  + Lots of room to spread out and very spacious - looks just like the photos

  + Excellent location and parking onsite - a big plus staying close to downtown as most of the hotels do not have onsite parking

  Main, but fixable, issue.

  - All the bed sheets and towels had a very strong smell of dryer sheets/fabric softener. It was so heavy that we tried to cover the pillows with our clothes to try to sleep. The bed clothes we wore are still so heavily saturated with the smell after returning home and being washed several times that we still can't use them. There is a reason why hotels and other bnbs we've stayed in do not use any fabric softeners or very scented detergents. They infuse into fabrics and have a strong smell. While neither of us are fragrance sensitive, the smell was overwhelming. We tried to find other sheets to use but all had a heavy smell as did the towels.

  Observations

  - The main bedroom is massive as is the bathroom. It would be nice to have a king size bed in here for a couple.

  - The back bedroom is a bit cramped but fine and a queen in here would expand the sleeping options. The mattress was a bit old and lumpy.

  - This was not a listed amenity so no points off, but all of the airbnbs where we have stayed have coffee, tea, sugar, salt and pepper. We luckily bought coffee with us but it would be nice, especially with such a massive kitchen (we didn't cook in it) to have just a few things , especially coffee.

  - A few of the light bulbs in the second bed and bath did not work.

  - You can hear street noise at times, but it is a city place and wasn't terribly bothersome.

• Amazing place!

  5/5

  We loved our time at the firehouse. It is a beautiful, funky place in a good location. Easy to walk downtown and get to all local attractions. The place was clean and so comfortable. Definitely recommend!!!

  4/5

  Enjoyed our stay in this historic building. Plenty of room for the two of us to spread out. Place was very clean and nicely furnished. Loved the big shower! Close to downtown restaurants and shops although "within walking distance" is a bit of a stretch. Check in was a little confusing arriving at night. We weren't 100% clear on where to park and where the entrance was. Would be nice if wifi info was provided in the unit as stated in the check-in instructions, however the host was quick to reply with it. Also, there was a decent amount of street noise but it didn't really deter from our stay.
