The condo is well appointed and super clean. The two master bedrooms are really great for our group which was 2 couples. Everything was modern and up to date. It was walking distance to most everything. Parking was a breeze in a very close parking garage that was only $12 per day. I wish we had a couple of extra days!

We stayed for 4 nights and loved the location. So fun to be in the mix of things in downtown Asheville. The S&W building has a very cool vibe. The cafeteria below is so fun. The condo is very large and well equipped. It’s nicely decorated and feels homey. Conversely - I didn’t like needing to download 2 apps for our stay. You’re renting from a company not a person. The deck is nice for getting some sun but you can’t see anything from it and the furniture is very dirty. I would have wiped it off but towels are limited. The washer dryer is very new and it’s a combo. So you need to run thru the full process (wash then dry in the same machine) with one load at a time. None of these items above are deal killers. We would stay there again but it’s good to know these things when planning your stay.

The Southern Gem was perfect place to stay for a Girls weekend. Great location to so many great restaurants, shopping/boutiques and we even did a spa day. Very clean and spacious for group of 4. We were able to walk to majority of places we went to. Used Lyft/Uber to a couple of places that were a bit further and price was very reasonable. Definitely recommend taking the Trolley Tour. Was very helpful showing us some places in Asheville we may have overlooked. Also recommend the Piano Bar. That was was such a fun place to go to at night.
