We had an excellent stay! The apartment was spacious and clean with a very comfortable bed. This location is perfect for staying out of the center of the city, but close to things to do. Walking distance to restaurants and transportation. The host was very responsive and helpful.

Really enjoyed the owners hospitality from little touches like wine, spaghetti and sauce, seasonings, coffee, paper towels, I could keep going! The apartment is very quiet from any street noise and bed was super comfy. Loved the front porch in the evenings watching everyone walking their dogs!

Cute historic home for long-term stay
I stayed here for two months and it was the perfect long-term stay. It's a great location (that one day will be on the trolley line if it's ever finished), and in a cute neighborhood that's very walkable with a park at the end of the street.
The house is older so there are some quirks (like a separate hot and cold water faucet in the bathroom and the oldest oven you ever did see). While it is on a busy street with some occasional construction, the bedroom is in the back of the house and is very quiet (with blackout curtains).
This is a great value, especially for long-term renters as the apartment is very sizable with plenty of room to spread out, work, relax, and sleep. It is the downstairs apartment, so if there's a renter upstairs, you may be able to hear footsteps (or dogs). Overall, I'd definitely return if I ever needed a place to rent again!

Enjoyable, but loud stay...
The property was immaculate upon my arrival. You can tell the owners that great pride is presenting a quality home to their guests. I enjoyed the wine and snacks...and for breakfast they had orange juice and english muffins available. This is a very central location. My only and biggest complaint is there was a construction zone right in front of the unit. The noise was so loud it was shaking the building. I could barely hear myself think and this noise woke me up every morning. Guess I should've done more research before choosing this property. I'd likely stay in one of their properties again, but I would do more research so I don't have the frustration of staying in a construction zone again.

Life savers
The accommodations were terrific. The amenities are all first class. But we will always try to stay with this group again because after babysitting my granddaughter I lost my code to apartment and at 230 in the morning I called and was texted code within minutes. DEFINITELY will be back. Thanks for all.

Amazing Host, Great Location, Cozy Place!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Charlotte and would reserve this property again. The hosts made us feel completely welcome with goodies and drinks upon arrival. The kitchen is fully stocked and the place was very clean. We spent a lot of time on the lovely front porch and walked to restaurants nearby. The host was responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend this property.

Great location and good for this time of year and our activities
Nicely furnished one bedroom first floor in old building. The place was clean and had some wine and snacks ready for us (much appreciated) and the owner very responsive.
Just for full disclosure; Wood floors throughout so you definitely hear the upstairs neighbor whenever they are home. We did not have any troubles with this as the neighbor is not up late or overly active, but just FYI.
Dining room window ac was trifling to cool the space. We mentioned to owner who said they would review topic so would ask about that if weather would be hot. Was ok for us as not hot. Also the kitchen and bath are very dated so should you desire to cook a lot or spend time in bath, most likely not the choice spot.
Considering all of the above it is functional and worked well forbus
All in was clean and convenient and served our purpose just fine, especially considering price versus downtown hotels.
4.0
Nice location.
Tastefully decorated. Owners are super responsive. A broken shower head was replaced immediately. I would recommend staying here.
My reason for not giving 5 stars is it needs a more thorough Spring cleaning. Possibly due to construction in the area.

A great space in a great neighborhood
It's spacious, bright and cheery. The decor is quirky but very functional. I spent a month and could happily have stayed much longer. The kitchen was amazingly well equipped for cooking and dining, and the hosts left many starter provisions including the fixings for a spaghetti dinner complete with wine. For sleeping comfort, the bedroom gets 5 stars, but the apartment really doesn't accommodate 4 adults comfortably.
The location is outstanding... It's an easy walk to all sorts of good restaurants and stores, and to 3 excellent bakeries (the walk cancels out the calories). It's also just minutes from downtown, museums and other attractions.

The place to stay
in town for a weekend getaway with the family. Quaint and well appointed with vintage charm. Plenty of room for the middle schoolers to sleep on the pull out in this large 1 BR apt. Everything is considered, even wall hooks in just the right places. We got into town very late and were delighted to find some snacks and a quick breakfast, including coffee!, to hold us over until we could get out in the morning. The wine and distilled spirits were also appreciated...including a lime!! Love the front porch, the weather was perfect for a nap! Communications with the owners were on point, including a list of recommended restaurants within easy walking distance of apt. Would definitely stay here again.

Great apartment, great neighborhood
We stayed 4 nights at Hawthorn 1 in late April. The apartment was exactly as pictured - lovely décor and very comfortable. We brought our dogs and the surrounding neighborhood was perfect for long dog walks - shady sidewalks and a nearby park - the ground floor unit was very convenient. We arrived in the evening after a long day on the road and were thrilled to find wine and snacks waiting for us. The covered porch is a wonderful place for a glass of wine in the evening, lounging with a book in the afternoon, and morning coffee. The unit has a washer and dryer if needed and there a many restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Museums and other attractions are an easy drive. We will absolutely recommend the Hawthorn to anyone traveling to Charlotte.

Comfortable and Convenient and Pet Friendly!
We stayed in Hawthorn 1 for 4 nights in late April. The apartment is lovely and very clean. We ran into traffic on our drive in and were thrilled to find wine and snacks - as well as other beverages - waiting for us. Charlie was friendly and helpful and reserving the unit was a breeze. We brought our dogs and the neighborhood was perfect for long walks. There is a park nearby as well. There are many restaurants, coffee shops etc. all an easy walk from the apartment. The porch is perfect for morning coffee, lounging in the afternoon, or an evening glass of wine. We were very happy with the apartment and have already recommended it to friends. We'll certainly stay again next time we're in the area.

Comfortable and Convenient
The apartment is older (50s kitchen, bath), but it is a comfortable stay thanks to everything working, the cleanliness, and excellent furniture. From the art to the snacks to the dishwasher and washer/dryer with soap, this unit is a comfortable home away from home. The management was immediately responsive to any questions we had. We enjoyed walking to the many unique restaurants in the area. Had a GREAT meal/drinks at Intermezzo and fun dancing at Petra's. Several good places to go between those, which makes for an easy night out. The neighborhood is walkable, quiet, and nice. Parked next to building entire holiday weekend, so that shouldn't usually be a problem. Unless this is changed, only advice is to turn on the shower and then adjust the water temp.

Great Apartment in an awesome location
I spent just under 5 months at this apartment and I really do not have anything negative to say about this rental. I was in Charlotte for work and enjoyed my stay. The few issues that came up were fixed/dealt with, in some cases, less than 24 hours. Apartment building and apartment were clean and well maintained. Furnishings are comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook a good meal or you a short walk will take you to some great places to eat too. There is ample street parking I was always able to park directly next to the building. The oven is old and took some getting used to, it runs hot so watch what you are making so it does not burn! I would definitely stay here again if work brings me back!

Awesome accomodations!
My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights while on a get-away from our kids. The accomodations were excellent! There was wine, liquor, pasta, sauce and more waiting for us when we arrived. You could truly never leave the place for the first night if you wanted to. The condo was spotless, music playing, and everything you needed was available. In addition it was within walking distance to many restaurants, shopping areas, parks, etc. We intended to use public transportation to get into the city, but even chose to walk it was so close (a little over 2 miles to the center of downtown). Alltogether this accomodation met our every expectation and needs and was SO much more comfortable than a hotel room, had no bedbugs (a big risk with Charlotte hotels), and even saved us money. We'll definitely be back!
