The architectural styling of this property so artfully preserves the best elements of this historic building while marrying it seamlessly with modernity.
The ease and convenience and just FUN of being at this location in the heartbeat of Asheville was so highly enjoyable. The owners have gone the extra mile to provide detailed and categorized information on the many restaurants, micro-breweries, cafes, wine bars and nightspots that are near this great property complete with walking directions on how to get to them.
I recommend 5 Walnut Wine Bar for nightly live music (think Jazz), a great wine selection and fantastic charcuterie platters. Also, you should indulge yourself with a walk to the Chocolate Fetish for that sweet tooth. For a group of friends, or even a couple, the informality and liveliness of Barley's Tap Room (across the street) is a blast, especially if you are a pool shark or want to catch a game! If you like micro-breweries, there is Wicked Weed a block away or you can venture a bit further to Hi-Wire...but beware, after only one of their high gravity beers I actually felt as if I'd entered low gravity (in a good way!).
And, if you are the person that will be reserving this property, then look forward to smiles and thanks for booking such a winner. When I reached the top of the stairs and took in the scale and unique design of this space, I kissed my girlfriend and thanked her for not allowing me to book us in a hotel !! She gets all the credit for this great...
   Read moreI cannot imagine a better location for an Asheville VRBO! You are steps from all of the amazing restaurants, breweries, and shops for which Asheville is famous. We were able to walk everywhere downtown and always knew we could pop back to the loft for a break when needed. Parking could not be easier in the city garage located directly across the street. There are several coffee shops within view (including the unique double decker bus directly next door). We enjoyed a night-in and took advantage of the Netflix account provided (such a nice touch!) as well as the bluetooth stereo for some good music. The kitchen was beautifully updated and a lovely spot for a happy hour. Bernie was so easy to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. He even prepared and sent a list of his favorite things to do in the city. We had a delightful girls weekend and I've already sent the loft to my husband and parents as a must-return vacation spot! Thank you, Bernie --...
   Read moreA GREAT trip! My husband and I spent a couple days in Asheville last week. Staying at Bernie and Sandy‘s studio apartment was the perfect respite for a great trip. Their place is conveniently located to all of downtown Asheville and has offstreet parking! When we arrived, we parked our car and never got back in it until we were ready to head home. The apartment is perfectly appointed with everything you might need whether you are eating out or cooking in. It was a comfortable place to return to after a full day of exploring Aseville. Bernie and Sandie were most accommodating by allowing us to check in bit early which was most appreciated. Any request we had, they responded straightaway. I would definitely recommend this sweet spot for a fun Asheville get away. Thank you, Bernie and Sandy! We will...
