Great place to stay downtown

Great location and check-in was incredibly easy. Place was perfect for 4 people. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because check-in was fairly late (4PM) and no early check-in was available.

Great apartment, excellent location

We loved our weekend stay to celebrate our friend’s birthday. The apartment was clean, nicely decorated, and located close to everything we wanted (hikes, restaurants, breweries). The beds were comfortable and the shower water pressure was perfect! Thank you so much for the thoughtful details — coffee, sugar and creamers. Just what we needed!

Great location

Our VRBO at the Historic St James Building was delightful. Our trip was a girls trip (three women 50+) so we wanted to be close to downtown, but not IN downtown. One of the bedrooms was very small and you had to squeeze around to get to the other side of the bed, but it was manageable. Other than that it was perfect.

Exactly as advertised and so clean!

We loved this renovated space. The rooms were all exactly as pictured. It had all of the supplies you could need while staying. It was such a handy location with easy parking. We loved having City Bakery downstairs – they did a great job! We had one issue while staying, and they came to fix it immediately. When we come back, we will absolutely stay here.

Weekend Adventure

We were in the area for a weekend gymnastics meet. The property was in a convenient location to everything we needed. We did not spend a lot of time in the rental because we were exploring all beautiful Asheville and surrounding areas have to offer when we had free time. Easy to get to from the highway, good communication with property management, fantastic bakery and restaurants on the first level are the icing on the cake of this rental! We were comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

This property was just as listed online. It was so cute and comfortable. It was in a nice neighborhood. The only con was that it was very loud there. Trash trucks ran at 5:30 and made lots of noise which woke us up.

Rest Above the Busyness

Such a great apartment! It’s much larger than the pix make it look. Parking was easy. Since it’s an older building, you can hear other tenants and street noise when you’re quiet - might be tough for light sleepers. The water takes a long time to heat up - I’m guessing the water heater is waaaay below. All the paper products are thin and scratchy - so bring your own Bounty, Puffs, and Angel Soft. The stairs are no joke - 21 to 2nd floor and 17 more to the third. Pack for no elevator. Loved our stay. Comfortable. Safe. Enjoyable.

Old building busy area

Nicely renovated old building in gentrifying area on busy intersection. Lots of noise from the road and minimal parking (1 spot if you can find one) Rooms are small! No table to eat or entertain at. Limited seating in living room (seating for 4 people max) Bedroom with attached bath has a king bed with only 8" on the side and end to get into bed! It also blocked the closet door making it difficult to access or hang anything up. A queen bed would still be tight but at least allow access to both sides of the bed. The attached bath was super small but manageable. All of the light switches are also behind doors so they have to be closed to access. Kitchen was reasonably stocked. The downtown area was about a mile walk.

We understand that the details in the listings and photos didn’t fully meet your expectations, and we regret any challenges this caused. We appreciate your input and will take it into consideration for future improvements. Best, Towns Property Management
