great for a group
Updated, clean property with off street parking spots, featuring every amenity you could ask for in an apartment. Although this is a two separate apartment configuration, they connect with an outdoor staircase and and door via a shared piazza porch. There is a gathering room in both apartments that our group of eight could easily enjoy.

Comfortable stay and responsive hosts!
The StayDuvet team maintain a beautiful property that is really conveniently located and in walking distance to great restaurants and shops. The units were clean and the bedrooms/kitchen/living room were really comfortable for our group. When we had a small issue, the property management team came on site and helped resolve it quickly.

Nice Place
The property was nicely renovated, kitchen fully stocked with utensils, AC worked well, beds slept good; great off street parking, nicely decorated, especially upstairs unit. TV streams only. Location was misrepresented, and the price seemed to represent the incorrect location near Marion Square. Several phone calls to management before we traveled resulted in no concern from Duvall and no interest in making amends which is disappointing.
