10/10 Exceptional
Stayed here for a little weekend getaway and absolutely loved it. The location is perfect and within walking distance of a ton of great shops, restaurants, and bars. What couldn’t be walked to was a quick Uber trip away. The apartment was spacious, clean, and comfy. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed. Harris Teeter and Food Lion are both ten mins away by car, which was nice.
I absolutely loved that there was no front desk clerk or even a front desk for that matter. If you needed anything, a concierge is a short call away. There is an option to have groceries preordered and waiting for your arrival, and while a nice convenience, the selection was limited. Still a great perk. Having a washer and dryer in house was sweet, too.
Parking was a small issue. There’s a turnabout in front where we could unload, but parking is a block away to one lot and a short bit farther to another. $15/day wasn’t bad compared to Charlotte parking, but still a cost to consider.
My only issue was that we did hear our neighbors above us one night, and while they were not loud enough to ruin our night or our stay, we could hear them. We laughed because it meant our downstairs neighbor was most likely able to hear us too. Another slight issue is that the apartment tended to echo, which probably could be fixed by placing a few decorative pieces in the apartment. Neither issue made our stay negative.
We usually stay in Airbnbs and aren’t big fans of hotel rooms, and the Mint House really felt more like an Airbnb than a hotel. We loved our stay, the comfortable bed, the space, and the perfect location. We will 100% be back again.
