My family stayed in Charlotte, NC for a cousin's wedding. The VRBO was very clean and comfy. The photos of the property were very accurate and we loved the park down the street. Our host was very responsive and check-in/check-out was very easy. For the pet lovers, the neighbor's cat, Jerry was a welcome visitor. He would visit every day for pets and cuddles. He was at home chilling on the front porch and welcoming us home after a day of sightseeing. While we did not walk to the downtown areas, it seemed very doable. Everything was within an easy 5-15min drive. The area was very safe and quiet despite being in the heart of the city. There was a train that would blow its horn in the distance around 1-2am, so light sleepers may wake up. But it's not enough to discourage anyone from staying at the property. The only thing we would recommend is a railing for the stairs coming up to the front porch. The more mature ladies (60-70's) took the stairs very gingerly in fear of taking a tumble, especially with hands full dealing with groceries and luggage. Otherwise, we had a great stay and would definitely visit again!
