Very comfortable and beautiful property. Well appointed and furnished. Excellent bedding and bathrooms. Save and private located in the heart of Asheville. Only problem is parking. Clsest lot is very expensive. More affordable parking is blocks away. It's worth it because i love the property -just wish parking wa easier.

This was a GREAT PLACE!

Everything about this place was top notch! Beautiful historic building! VERY Secure! Easy! PERFECT LOCATION in the heart of downtown Asheville! I was concerned that it would be very noisy in that location but was very quiet inside and lively energy outside. I would highly recommend!

Downtown Asheville Loft

Great location and ample room for two couples. Accommodations were quite comfortable and the unit was well-equipped. Parking with a motorcycle trailer was not easy and was real expensive until after Saturday at 6:00 PM. But, I’d stay here again!

It really is all about the LOCATION!!!

Above all else the location is FANTASTIC. It is in the heart of Asheville and an easy walk to just about everything.. The Condo's Kitchen was very well equiped with anything you can think of.. The master Bedroom and Bath were very roomy. Hanging up clothes is challenging since the Master closet is locked. Besides that, it was a very comfortable living space for the 4 of us. Close Parking is limited and they fill up fast. Would I stay there again? ABSOLUTELY!!

Lofty

Beautiful and right in the heart of the downtown action. If the Asheville vibe is what you seek, this beautiful apartment is for you. Well furnished and very nice appointments. Linens, towels and accessories as good as. It. Quiet. If you aren’t into the downtown scene, you may prefer a little farther out. Property is managed by a bigger company and has many rules and hoops. Arrangements were not cleared until the last minute even with a reservation paid for weeks ahead of time. Wish it had been smoother. But, the property was worth the hassle….i would return.

Disappointed

The location is great. Easy to walk to everything. Unfortunately, we arrived on Friday evening around 5:30 to find that the property was not clean. We found food, trash, dirt, a Q-tip, etc. all over the floors. The dust on the master bedroom furniture was so thick we could write our names. The sheets seemed unclean so we had to wash them before we slept. They came out and cleaned the floors. No refund or discount just an apology in the form of an email. Would not recommend this property based on the response and the uncleanliness. Mistakes happen but more should’ve been done. And the Q-tip was still there after they did the floors.

Asheville is Nice

My sister and I stayed at this property for a first-time visit to Asheville. The location is very convenient and we were able to walk to many locations and to quickly drive to other attractions. Be aware that (like many cities) Asheville is experiencing a homelessness problem downtown. There are also street musicians with loud sound systems who may treat you to a Led Zeppelin concert into the night. As far as the property goes, it is showing its age -- overall style, evidence of water damage in the MBR bath and on the LR ceiling. It lacks good sound-proofing between the units (smaller bedroom). There was also a persistent dank smell in the hallway. With a thorough re-do, it would be a great unit for a vacation visit. Given the price, there may be other nearby properties that are newer or in better shape . . . but probably not downtown.

Lovely loft space, great location

This was a great place to stay with my besties for our girls' reunion and I will likely bring my own family back to stay next time I am in Asheville, which is fairly often. I didn't realize that there was no parking available but there is a fairly priced garage within walking distance so not a big deal. Gorgeous place, lots of vibe.
