Awesome place to stay

Loved everything about this place. Great location in downtown Asheville. Easily walked all over but we rented a car to explore and it came with a parking spot that was easy to access. The place was a great size and had plenty of amenities. It was quiet and peaceful. Communication with the host was great through the app and his response time was quick. I also liked the link to the guide that was provided with all the information needed for the place but also about the area. If you want to stay in downtown Asheville definitely recommend.

Chicken Alley for the win!!

Beautiful, spotless, and comfortable space in a fantastic location. It’s a great area- walking distance to shops, restaurants, and nightlife. The multiple private entrances made it convenient to get in and out of. We rested well in a very cozy bed after being out and about the city. The apartment has everything you need for a weekend getaway. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend it.

Great accommodations in a great location

Cute little condo with everything you needed located to a wide variety of shopping, galleries and restaurants. We found the bed too hard, it's not recommended for side sleepers! The walk uphill from the condo to the parking to get the car is a pain in the cold or rainy weather but we've suffered far worse. We like to move around but would consider staying here again

quiet oasis in downtown Asheville

This unit has a great location and is amazingly quiet for being in downtown Asheville. The unit had everything - and more - that we needed: stocked kitchen, very cozy & comfortable living area (the sofa is SO comfy) and bedroom, extra toiletries in bathroom in case you forget anything (which we did). We loved the skylight in the living room. The unit is very safe & secure, yet easy to get in/out with the key pad vs. physical key. The reserved parking spot is close and easy to get to, but we only used our car to go to the River Arts District and to visit Brevard. (Highly recommend both.) The living room windows open out to Chicken Alley (street level), so we kept the curtains closed most of the time. But the upside of facing the alley is that we were protected from the downtown street noise, and we never heard any neighbors in the building. We will definitely return to this unit - we've stayed at a couple others, and this one is by far the most comfortable and most quiet. Also the management is professional, responsive and communicates all the important information before you need it. They are probably the best management we've ever worked with via vrbo. We cannot wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Reservationist, Sarah

Host profile image
Growing up Santa Fe, NM I saw a unique blend of artistic community, endless outdoor opportunities, interesting history, beautiful landscapes, and a diverse mix of cultures.

Though far from Santa Fe and a different climate, I arrived in Asheville in the early 90’s to practice Chinese Medicine and felt some of the same elements at play. Asheville was not well known, but you could feel the energy building and the mixture of art, landscape, environment, history and community all coming together. It reminded me of my ‘early days’ in Santa Fe. One of my closest friends was Andy Brokmeyer, who I told for several years that he needed to come to Asheville, as it was a dynamic and exciting place. We were also avid kayakers, and Asheville has been a Mecca for kayaking since the early days of the sport so I knew I could lure him out with the promise of all the great rivers in the area.

He came out ‘for a visit’ and hasn’t left. That was 16 years ago.
Asheville has grown into the most happening place in the region, far beyond my expectations, and has sustained an authentic, community oriented and dynamic quality. Like my dad used to say about few places, it has ‘cultural energy’.

Why they chose this property

Though both Andy and I had done some residential real estate investment and development, 80 N Lexington was our first move into the commercial side. It was an old building, greatly in need of repair, and was a bit removed from the core downtown commercial traffic. We scraped together what we could and fixed it up, with an eye towards something special in the future.

Now, many years later, North Lexington Ave is hopping, with restaurants, breweries, bars, tea houses, coffee shops, galleries and wonderful, diverse retail shops right out the door.

And 80 N Lexington has been transformed into a blend of funky, hip, and industrial intertwined with lush, upscale design. A mix of style and comfort that is unique and authentically Asheville.


What makes this property unique

Just like Asheville, there’s nothing quite like it.
