Place is nice, neighborhood is not

The property itself is pretty nice. Across the street, right outside our window, was a line of homeless people on the sidewalk smoking crack and doing who knows what other drugs. Parking isn’t the best and pretty tight around the back of the buildings. We opted not to stay after arriving due to the activities going on right outside the window.

The property was good. An easy 10 minute walk to downtown. The parking is a little tight, and the homeless shelter is located directly accross the street, but overall this was a wonderful location for our trip. The host was fantastic

Downton Annie - Highly Recommend!!!

Downton Annie was amazing! The place was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and wonderfully appointed with amenities. It was the perfect distance to get to most areas of downtown within a 15 minute walk, though other residents may want to be aware that it is an uphill walk, so factor that into your time. The parking is a bit tight though, even with a compact vehicle, so keep that in mind if bringing your own transportation.

Cute and Tidy Apartment in Good Walkable Location

Overall, this place is great - loved having all the amenities and being close to stuff downtown. I honestly didn’t mind the homeless people on this street, they didn’t bother us at all, but the walls and floors/ceilings are definitely thin and we heard so much noise from the people upstairs. So I definitely recommend you use the ear plugs and/or the sound machine provided!! Parking was easy though and everything was clean and as expected so would stay here again!

Great Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The location to downtown is very convenient and most of our outings to that area were within walking distance or a short Uber. The apartment itself was very clean and had everything needed. Walls were a little thin, but we rarely noticed that as an issue. They have sound machines that will block out any neighboring sounds. Customer service was also very responsive if we had any issues. Would stay here again.

Downton Annie #1

While I understand things going on outside of the apartment are not in control of the host, had I known it is located directly across the street from a homeless service, we would NOT have stayed there. We think it was a place that feeds the homeless, so expect to see 50-75 people outside every morning. A fight broke out. The police came more than once. I didn't feel safe walking, especially at night. It is very noisy. When we were in the home, we left the blinds closed so people would not look in. It was just uncomfortable! I wish someone had included this in their review earlier as it would absolutely have deterred us from over paying and staying there. The pros: the host is very responsive and apologized, but of course didn't offer us any money back. I wanted to leave after one day, but hubby said it was too much of a hassle, so we stayed. The inside of the apartment is cute and looks just like the pictures. They provide ear plugs to block the noise at night! There is also noise machines. New appliances. Washer/dryer, which we used. The "location" meaning, it is walking distance to downtown is convenient, but again, I didn't feel safe walking, and we were approached by someone every time asking for money or a cigarette (we don't smoke.) I would not recommend, especially if you have kids!

Nice spot for a weekend trip

We really enjoyed our stay. This property was well appointed and practical brand new. Beds were good. Kitchen was modern and clean. Parking was adequate. Location was within walking distance of many areas of interest. Check out process was the best I’ve encountered (basically don’t need to do anything, just walk out).

Vacation to celebrate anniversary

We enjoyed our stay in Asheville. Our Downtown Annie rental was very nice. Everything was just like new and the appliances were top of the line. We walked almost everywhere, making the location perfect. The only unexpected was the counseling facility that served the homeless in the mornings, we were not expecting that since we came on the weekend.

Up to 30 homeless right across the street. Man urinating right across the street mid day. Much more

Clean, well appointed property across from homeless shelter. In addition to public urination and all night yelling, cars often blocked the road and driveway.

Great place to stay in Asheville

This was a great place to stay. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The only downside to this VRBO was the parking spots were quite tight and the homeless shelter across the street. Although they never bothered us, they were there at all times during the week and weekend.

Before you decide - know this!

It pains me to not be able to give this 5 stars. The property is exactly as pictured/described. Sarah was immediately responsive when we reached out to fix a parking situation. The location to downtown is walking distance. However, we did not walk there because of the homeless across the street. There is a half way house across from the property. There were at least 5 people strewn across the yard (across the street) all day. We might have been ok with it if we knew this was going to be the case ahead of time. This is the reason I am posting this review. I would not want a family with kids to show up unaware. However, college kids, couples and anyone who does not mind this will find the property itself to be fantastic.

Convenient location

My friends and I had a great stay at this VRBO. It was a very convenient location and within walking distance to downtown. Like a prior review states, the rental is across the street from a homeless shelter but we were not bothered by anyone. Two of my friends shared the double bed and it was a bit uncomfortable for them. The only thing I would say is that there wasn’t enough paper towels or toilet paper stocked up so we had to ask for me but the property manager was responsive and made sure we got extras that day. Overall I would stay here again. Thanks!

Urban escape

This is a charming, modern, well maintained apartment just a few minutes' walk from the heart of all downtown Asheville has to offer. Whoever thoughtfully remodeled this old Victorian did a great job adapting it for a use as an urban escape. We had a terrific stay with two adults and two teens. We had everything we needed during our four night stay. We were particularly happy to enjoy the well equipped modern kitchen, to have access to a washer-dryer, and to have space we could all spread out and do our own thing when we were together. Guests should note you will hear noise from the other apartments. We appreciated the ear plugs and white noise machine left bedside for our use. One night we could hear the snores of a guest in the apartment above us. But it's really no issue if you remember you're staying in a city apartment. The same is true for the members of Asheville's unhoused community who receive services at the nonprofits nearby. If you don't want to experience Asheville as a vibrant, diverse city, there are plenty of generic hotels you can book in Biltmore Village. We love to walk and the location was perfect for us - a five minute brisk walk to the heart of tourist-friendly downtown, and maybe ten to the breweries of the South Slope. We'd love to stay again and highly recommend this place.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah, reservationist

Host profile image
The owner, Jeremy Goldstein has made 32 North Ann Street a project since he purchased the property in 2002, slowly making improvements, while running his business in the building directly next door. Over the past 20 years, Jeremy has built a successful multi-disciplinary real estate practice. Jeremy graduated cum laude from Duke University in 1994 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Policy Studies. He held salesperson licenses in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia and currently maintains broker licenses in North Carolina and South Carolina. Mr. Goldstein advises private and institutional investors nationwide in the acquisition, disposition, and financing of commercial property. He married an Asheville native, and together they moved to Asheville to raise their four sons. He spends his “free” time traveling with his family to their sons’ sporting events. Eventually, he hopes to get back to hiking and biking in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. But for now he manages to get to Crossfit — unfortunately well before the sun comes up, in addition to serving as Chairman of Asheville Planning & Zoning Commission and board member to Irene Wortham Center.

Why they chose this property

Like any such investment, careful thought and attention to detail are important. The properties location next door to Mr. Goldstein's offices, made the undertaking manageable, and a worthwhile investment.

What makes this property unique

In addition to the superb location, the Apartment has been completely renovated with brand new appliances and furnishings. The beautiful artwork is of the surrounding mountains and local graffiti art. Travelers will have the benefit of knowing the owner is in the building next door, as well as assistance from his friendly reservationist, Sarah, who has an intimate knowledge of downtown Asheville and will work to provide guests with an easy booking process and most importantly, recommendations for a memorable Asheville experience.
