The property was beautiful, very clean, in an excellent location and comfortable! We couldn’t have been more pleased!

Couldn't have been a better location or more perfect space.

The condo was beautiful and very well stocked with everything we needed. We had a great time and enjoyed spending time on the deck for coffee and in the evening after days of exploring the area.

Really happy with the location and apartment. The upstairs bedroom does not have a door, but is the only room upstairs. Very spacious. I thought there would be “bar noise” until the late, but actually our stay which was a Thursday and Friday night had essentially quiet hours after 12, with exception of a car or two (as expected in the city). Would definitely recommend. The parking garage is behind the building’s front door, but there is a back door entrance. Communication on the exact parking location was not optimal, but we figured it out.

The building is terrific, the location is central to most everything you would like downtown. Parking is a bit of a challenge, but manageable. Overall, the apartment is tired. Needs a fresh coat of paint, new rug etc. The most disappointing aspect was the patio. We had high hopes of reviewing the days activities on the patio, but it was a mess - nothing like what is pictured on the listing. All the planters are in disrepair, plants/weeds are all dead, cigarette/cigar butts in one of the planters. Be careful in bare feet as many of the floor boards are either splintering or about to give way. This certainly took away from the experience we were anticipating.

Perfect location and the condo was fabulous!

Excellent condo with 2 very large bedrooms with large private bathrooms plus a half bath located right downtown. Lovely private patio. Perfect for our 2-couples weekend. The management company is somewhat intense with lengthy contract and 2 apps to download; based on the contract's language we took toilet paper, extra towels, coffee, etc. however none of those items were required for our 2 night stay. The unit could use a deep cleaning as silverware, mugs etc. were put away dirty (assuming by prior guests) and the usual build up of dust, etc. with 'normal' cleaning however this did not detract from our excellent weekend. King beds were comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved the property!!! We would definitely go back. A couple observations - need to have at least 4 wine glasses; a few of the boards on the deck are rotted and we sank into them; I stepped on a nail on the staircase that had popped.

Fantastic!

Loved the location of this property. We were worried about the parking situation, but it wasn't an issue at all. Can't wait to come back.

Some friends and I stayed here for a little concert weekend in Asheville and it could not have been a better spot. The building it’s self is super cool as the condo sits about a popular food court and brewery. We we’re right in the heart of it all, a short walk to practically anything downtown. Place was clean, spacious and nice. The patio was a great spot to catch some morning sun and plan the day.

The apartment was clean and exactly as pictured. It was large enough for 2 couples to spread out and be comfortable. The location is perfect as there are so many good restaurants and shopping within easy walking distance. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Fabulous property, central to everything. Would stay there again!

Great location

The property was well equipped and had everything we needed. It was spacious and allowed for all of us to be comfortable. Communication was fantastic! We will try to stay next time we go to Asheville!!

This place could not be in a more central location in downtown! It is a great unit with plenty of space and everything you need. Very clean and comfortable! We walked everywhere and will be a must stay again for our weekend getaway. Highly recommend!

Centrally located and easy to walk shopping and eateries....

The location is awesome, close to everything cool! Parking not so much, if your elderly I would not recommend this particular rental, parking was about 2 1/2 blocks away and lugging your luggage that far may not be worth it. Not all the lights and outlets were working, not sure what’s going on there? And the 2nd floor bedroom has a RTU (roof top unit) mounted on the roof right above this room and when it runs it shakes the ceiling and is quite loud, not very conducive to a good nights sleep.

Beautiful apartment. Spacious. Great deck. Perfect location- able to walk everywhere

My three girls and I had a lovely stay at Southern Gem. The location can't be beat for restaurants and shops because you're in the middle of it all. The property was well appointed. There is no dedicated parking which makes arriving and leaving cumbersome, but there is a parking deck behind the building that makes it bearable.

Property was nicely decorated and roomy for 4. Felt very secure. A plus the building had a food court on the first floor. Great option. Would definately stay again!

Excellent stay

We enjoyed our stay, The apartment was very nice and quiet by exception the traffic noise on the second floor bedroom on the weekend, the location is centralized to everything in Asheville barely had to drive. One thing that absolutely blew our minds was the Internet connection (fast) and the on-demand Netflix and programming that was effortless, truly a plus! Love the wood floors a gorgeous apartment. One small observation The AC had a little trouble keeping up with the heat on the second floor, fans are readily available and remedied that issue. Parking while challenging at times was no issue when we parked in the well maintain parking garage a very short walk from the apartment. Would we stay again? Yes!

The host was kind and well informed about the area. She guided me to the property closest to my son and for that i am grateful. It’s a LOVELY place, modern and very well cared for large duplex which sits in a sleepier community at the base of Reynolds Mountain.

We had a laid back weekend with high school friends! Easy walking to breweries, restaurants, book store and shopping!

Spacious, modern, well equipped property with great access to downtown Asheville. We were in town for our daughter's wedding and the large living area made it very convenient for other relatives to visit. The second (very large) bedroom/living area is up a flight of stairs. The check in process was complicated by the fact that they sent us two emails with check-in instructions at the same time. They looked identical but we found out otherwise when we couldn't get into the front door of the building at 8:00 PM because the code wouldn't work. The building access code was different in the two emails and we didn't figure that out until the morning. Fortunately, there was someone who was inside the building that let us in that night. Unloading is a little problematic as there is no place to stop in front of the building. We usually pulled just around the corner on to Church Street to come and go in cars. The large public parking garage behind the building is very convenient ($1/hr, max $12/day) and you can also access the building through a rear entrance door with the same code. We had the same problem mentioned in a previous review with sink & shower drainage in the 2nd floor bathroom - quite unpleasant. I reported it separately - let's see if it gets referenced in future reviews. Overall, I recommend this property as a great central point from which to enjoy Asheville (as long as they fix the clogged drains).

Was great for two couples as two great master suites. Parking is an issue and cars had to be moved once. Kitchen and unit was very well equipped. There was stair access which is a huge plus. Worth the price.
