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!

Great location
Everything was great except for the management company. The condo states it holds up to 7 guests. We arrived and there were only 4 towels. We requested additional towels and were told no they only supply 4. We had 5 guests so had to supply our own towels.

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!

Spacious Loft and Great Location
This place had everything you need except a coffee maker. It’s a great location, inside a terrific historic building, to walk to everything. Paid parking is readily available behind the loft’s building. So many amazing restaurants are within a 5-10 minute walk. I’d stay here again!
