We had a great time on our girls trip (4 moms out and about). The location is in the heart of everything and the food hall downstairs is a fantastic spot for an easy bite. We parked in the nearby garage and I’d have loved a convenient drop-off spot for luggage, but it’s not a dealbreaker when you can walk to everything. Everything we needed to have a great stay!

Great location, convenient to everything downtown!

We were in town for Billy Strings! We had a great stay, no real issues. I will say the cleanliness was lacking. For the price, the place needs a little sprucing up with deep cleaning and paint job. I didn’t report it to the host but I feel sure they must be aware there is mold growing on ceiling in den above middle can light. I took pictures just in case. Also, it would’ve been nice to have extra towel without a 75.00 fee attached. The furnishing are a little dated. This place has so much potential!! It really does need new paint, attention to the patio because it was not as pictured. We enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect. Parking was a bit of a major hassle. This should be included with the lodging .

Historic Charm in the Heart of Asheville

Spacious, modern, well equipped property with great access to downtown Asheville. We were in town for our daughter's wedding and the large living area made it very convenient for other relatives to visit. The second (very large) bedroom/living area is up a flight of stairs. The check in process was complicated by the fact that they sent us two emails with check-in instructions at the same time. They looked identical but we found out otherwise when we couldn't get into the front door of the building at 8:00 PM because the code wouldn't work. The building access code was different in the two emails and we didn't figure that out until the morning. Fortunately, there was someone who was inside the building that let us in that night. Unloading is a little problematic as there is no place to stop in front of the building. We usually pulled just around the corner on to Church Street to come and go in cars. The large public parking garage behind the building is very convenient ($1/hr, max $12/day) and you can also access the building through a rear entrance door with the same code. We had the same problem mentioned in a previous review with sink & shower drainage in the 2nd floor bathroom - quite unpleasant. I reported it separately - let's see if it gets referenced in future reviews. Overall, I recommend this property as a great central point from which to enjoy Asheville (as long as they fix the clogged drains).

Great location and well stocked

The condo was in the heart of Asheville in walking distance to anything you want to eat, drink or explore. I was very impressed with the amount of amenities that were stocked, including plenty of extra blankets, dish soap and laundry pods, coffee. Parking was easy and pick up and drop off of luggage was right at the door. We had one small issue but the management team answered quickly and it was resolved fast. My only feedback would be to give better insturctions on where to enter the building and how to get to the elevators. Since it is a mixed use retail and residential space, we were very confused on how to get to the unit at first but a resident helped point us in the right direction. Overall a great stay!

Wonderful stay

The condo is well appointed and super clean. The two master bedrooms are really great for our group which was 2 couples. Everything was modern and up to date. It was walking distance to most everything. Parking was a breeze in a very close parking garage that was only $12 per day. I wish we had a couple of extra days!

Great location!!!

We stayed for 4 nights and loved the location. So fun to be in the mix of things in downtown Asheville. The S&W building has a very cool vibe. The cafeteria below is so fun. The condo is very large and well equipped. It’s nicely decorated and feels homey. Conversely - I didn’t like needing to download 2 apps for our stay. You’re renting from a company not a person. The deck is nice for getting some sun but you can’t see anything from it and the furniture is very dirty. I would have wiped it off but towels are limited. The washer dryer is very new and it’s a combo. So you need to run thru the full process (wash then dry in the same machine) with one load at a time. None of these items above are deal killers. We would stay there again but it’s good to know these things when planning your stay.

Girls weekend

The Southern Gem was perfect place to stay for a Girls weekend. Great location to so many great restaurants, shopping/boutiques and we even did a spa day. Very clean and spacious for group of 4. We were able to walk to majority of places we went to. Used Lyft/Uber to a couple of places that were a bit further and price was very reasonable. Definitely recommend taking the Trolley Tour. Was very helpful showing us some places in Asheville we may have overlooked. Also recommend the Piano Bar. That was was such a fun place to go to at night.

Beautiful amenities & great location!

The pictures highlight the beauty of the space. Every detail is cared for including coffee, creamers, etc. Lots of nice extra touches if you give information about your trip. They added a little something to make my husband’s birthday extra special when we arrived. In addition, the location is walkable to restaurants and shopping. The only thing to note is that for loading or unloading of your bags, you can park in front of the RH next-door for a short time before parking your vehicle and their suggested parking spots. Also, upon walking into the S&W, which is like a cafeteria eatery there is not good signage to let you know to go to the right, to find the elevator to the apartment/condos. Once you’re on the floor and enter your room, you transcend into this beautiful space. Very quiet and upscale. Would definitely return!
