One of the bedrooms heard the music coming from the shop below but not enough to keep them awake. Would absolutely stay there again. ##### Elizabeth A.

Very comfortable! Leaving was a lot easier once we discovered the lot at the bottom of the back stairs. We could pull in to load up and leave. Wish we found it on arrival. All the doors could use some WD40 to stop them from squeaking. Overall, we loved everything about it! ##### Susan M.

The location was in a great location on the downtown mall, close to hotels and restaurants. The kitchen was well stocked and the apartment very well appointed and well kept. Access to the Common House (right behind the apartment) was a nice amenity. Thanks for a great stay and we look forward to coming again. ##### Lea L.

Mar 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Great space & location but… We really enjoyed the space and the location is so great, however as others have mentioned before the music from the coffee shop is loud and we wouldn’t mind it so much except it starts extremely early. We also experienced a situation where we had to call the police twice because there were homeless people outside being very loud and threatening and the door is made up mostly of glass and we felt unsafe. ##### Sarah C. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Bobby H., Austin, USA Mar 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### We Didn’t Feel Safe I’ve never given a rating below 5 stars, but I don’t think that it would be fair to not warn potential renters about this place. It did not feel safe. 1. One of the rental managers came into the house unannounced (zero phone call or communication through VRBO) and knocked on the bedroom door of my daughters in their bedroom while they were asleep. He never gave us a heads up that he was going to come over for a repair (we didn’t request anything). Imagine a property manager just walking into your VRBO unannounced knocking on your teenage daughters’ bedroom door. 2. Every city center has a homeless population; it’s part of the city center. But this place has a glass entrance door, and one homeless man urinated on the door one evening (we unfortunately saw it). The solution is to not have a glass door where the homeless can see into us. And it really needs a second door for extra security. But even with a second door, you aren’t safe since the property management team walks in unannounced. This just isn’t a safe property. The good news is that you can lock yourself in the bedrooms at night while you sleep, and we did so that. ##### Bobby H. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KAREN M.

Apr 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location with energy and noise of a city The location is fantastic - close to restaurants, music, etc. The down side is the neighboring businesses. The coffee shop, down stairs, starts playing music at 7:00am and plays the music until 8:00 or 9:00pm. A few storefronts down the street has live music until midnight. If you are comfortable with music until this time, then Gryphon is a good fit for you. The accommodations are comfortable and cozy and are ideal for a UVA, wine tasting, or historical weekend. ##### Matt S. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### marshall k.

Location was great - right on the downtown mall. We walked all over the downtown mall for food and shopping. This is located directly over Mudhouse coffee. The loud music at the coffeehouse starts at about 6:30am and goes until About 11 or midnight. We went down for delicious coffee and ironically, the music seemed much more muted inside the coffee house than in the apartment. The apartment is spacious and it was a great way to spend a weekend with friends. Bathrooms were nice but had some scratches and damage to the walls when we arrived. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of blankets and towels. Kitchen was very clean. You also need to know that the parking is $12 a day in the Water street parking garage. Other parking is more expensive or difficult to find off ##### Elizabeth M. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John S.

Jul 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Surprised by Situation The property is well located, comfortable and clean. It was very difficult to find, however, as the doorway is in the pedestrian mall where no cars are allowed. There are many homeless people nearby - and even immediately in front of the door to the apartment late one evening. The person did move when we asked. Others were grateful when we shared food with them. ##### Amy W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sadler G.

The coffee shop does enjoy some morning music, but the experience was phenomenal. ##### Sadler G. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jonathan W., Winston Salem, NC Mar 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Gryphon The Gryphon is a nice apartment. It was a roomy space considering the location. Two bathrooms is a plus. The first night of our visit was a Saturday and at 6:30 AM on Sunday morning the music from the coffee shop below started LOUD and sustained. It wasn't what I would call mellow coffee shop Norah Jones type music either. Thumping music. The next morning the music wasn't as loud so it may have just been the employees that Sunday morning. We didn't mind the music in the evenings. I gave "Location" a three star only because of the noise downstairs and the homeless community that would congregate outside this popular coffee shop. It's actually a good location as it pertains to the Historic store front mall area. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay. ##### Jonathan W. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica V.

They play lousy music that shakes the floor. You really need to crank music in the living room so you don’t hear it. You can’t hear it in the bedroom, though. Nice place but noisy. We were there at Christmas and heard every Christmas song ever written. ##### Duncan R. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mary R.

We loved the location of it very easy to walk to all sorts of things. ##### mary R. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn J. Oct 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect spot! Absolutely loved staying here! Super clean, well decorated and super spacious. The spot was absolutely perfect, we walked up and down Main Street enjoyed the shops and restaurants. The coffee smell in the unit was amazing and I’m not a coffee drinker! You can hear the music in the coffee shop below as everyone stated it’s not super loud and they play soft jazz- it added to the experience! We will def be back! ##### Kathryn J. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Pamela F. Oct 1, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Girls Weekend The property was in a great location. It was central in downtown mall. Many restaurants and shops. Numerous wineries near. A flight of stairs takes you to the apartment. There is no elevator. It is located right in the mall and above a coffee shop making the unit noisy. I knew that before I booked but it was louder than I expected. Music from coffee shop woke us up every morning. The apartment itself is very nice and updated. The beds are very comfortable. Even though the place was noisy it was the perfect location. I would stay there again but with a white noise maker in my bedroom. The managers of the unit were very helpful. Checkin and check out was seamless. Overall a great stay. ##### Pamela F.

Sep 24, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun spot for a girls weekend The Gryphon was exactly as described online. The location was amazing and ease of access to dining and downtown options couldn’t have been better. The front door has to be unlocked and locked with a physical key each time you come or go which was a little bit of hassle because there is no deadbolt you can just flip when you come in the door. Lots of transients in the downtown mall area at night but we were not bothered. The amenities were exactly as described and perfectly sufficient for the girls wine weekend we needed. ##### Katie B.

Wonderful condo right in the heart of downtown. Check in was a bit hard (trying to work the lock) but we finally made in it. The stairs are a bit rough when carrying heavy luggage up, all minor though. It is a wonderful VRBO and beautiful condo that is filled with lovely antiques. ##### Trish P.
