It was set up very well. The decor was nice. The light coming in the windows in the morning was so inviting. The coffee shop downstairs was such an added bonus…filling our carafe for free with good coffee.

Can't think of a better place to stay in Asheville. Beautiful South Slope loft space (which looks brand new) with arguably the best coffee shop and cheese/provisions shop in town right next to each other downstairs. Can walk to some of the city's best breweries and restaurants. Will absolutely stay here again, really a no brainer. Great for two couples, lots of space. Lots of natural light, super comfortable.

Beautiful loft apartment located a fifteen minute walk from everything.

Creative loft apartment with lovely decor. Such a relaxing, sophisticated atmosphere. Centrally located in walking distance to shops, restaurants and art galleries. Downtown Asheville is fun and lively. I was already planning to return before I had even left

Billy Strings weekend

Many visits to AVL. First time in South Slope area. This place was awesome. On top of the coffee shop. Free parking. Easy walk downhill after the show. Right around corner from new Chai Pani location. And stumbling distance to Burial Brewing. Can't beat it. Nice big windows. Comfy beds. Would definitely come back to this property.

I wish I had a better review to share since the loft is well kept. However, we ran into an issue and the owner was unwilling to assist. We arrived early & tried to get in touch with the property manager. She didn't respond nor return the call.We were only there at night to sleep, Oct 31. We chose the loft because of the location - while it is close to all the action, it is not in the middle of the city. It is at least 10 min away from most shopping and food. Even though there’s a noise ordinance from 11-7, it was not maintained at all. At around 1am we started hearing music being blasted most of the night. We did not sleep. No bars were open. Needless to say, we couldn't enjoy our day because of exhaustion and felt sick from the lack of sleep.Immediately on Friday morning, we brought this up to the host and she told us she would talk to the owner. She didn't get back to us until Monday. When I asked her to comp us a percentage because of the noise pollution, she stated this was not her fault and we should have called “at the time of the event”. Considering we called earlier and no one responded, I doubt she would have picked up at 2 am. She also stated we booked the loft "of our own volition" for Oct 31 so we should have expected noise. Yet she mentioned there are noise ordinances in place so we shouldn’t have had loud noises. She will state that we left a nice review on the guestbook. Let me clarify that this was signed before the noise incidents occurred Oct 30.

Gem in the heart of Asheville.

We had a wonderful stay with our best friends celebrating my husband's 50th Birthday. The property was clean and beautifully decorated. My only suggestions would be to add a microwave and a few mixing/serving bowls. The coffee shop downstairs offers complimentary coffee in the morning, but the coffee was cold so we ended up getting coffee from the donut shop up the road.

Chic, convenient, clean and comfortable!

We loved everything about this condo; super clean, impeccably curated, lots of plants and sunshine, the large carafe of coffee and perhaps most surprising of all - a truly comfortable sleeping experience! Very comfortable bed and pillows. Below the condo is a delicious coffee shop with a cheese/wine shop next to that. What more could you need. Oh, and pizza less than a block away. I can't imagine staying anywhere else now, on a return trip to AVL. Thank you!

Amazing condo and location in Downtown Asheville

This beautiful condo exceeded our expectations! The unit looks just like the pictures! It is spacious, clean, light filled, and beautifully decorated! Charming coffee shop and European style wine/cheese market both downstairs. Unit even has a carafe for complimentary coffee daily at coffee shop. Convenient to many great breweries and downtown shops! Definitely one of the nicest VRBO units we have ever stayed in! We will come back!
