Old building busy area
Nicely renovated old building in gentrifying area on busy intersection. Lots of noise from the road and minimal parking (1 spot if you can find one) Rooms are small! No table to eat or entertain at. Limited seating in living room (seating for 4 people max) Bedroom with attached bath has a king bed with only 8" on the side and end to get into bed! It also blocked the closet door making it difficult to access or hang anything up. A queen bed would still be tight but at least allow access to both sides of the bed. The attached bath was super small but manageable. All of the light switches are also behind doors so they have to be closed to access. Kitchen was reasonably stocked. The downtown area was about a mile walk.

King James Bldg 8
The apartment was clean and well organized. It was located in a pleasant neighborhood above a cute little bakery.
some things we noticed:
**The heating great in hallway was coming down.
**The window in the master bathroom was left open by the previous tenants which was not realized for 2 days.
**The linens for the master bath was located in the closet which was not easy to reach. A small supply should be left in the bathroom. The other bathroom had a shelf over the toilet which I would suggest putting into the master bath to store these linens.
**My group likes to play games but there was no table setup for us to use except the coffee table, which was uncomfortable. A small foldable table and chairs might alleviate this problem for other tenants.
Overall it was a very comfortable apartment and would recommend it to others.

Weekend Adventure
We were in the area for a weekend gymnastics meet. The property was in a convenient location to everything we needed. We did not spend a lot of time in the rental because we were exploring all beautiful Asheville and surrounding areas have to offer when we had free time. Easy to get to from the highway, good communication with property management, fantastic bakery and restaurants on the first level are the icing on the cake of this rental! We were comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

Great location
Our VRBO at the Historic St James Building was delightful. Our trip was a girls trip (three women 50+) so we wanted to be close to downtown, but not IN downtown. One of the bedrooms was very small and you had to squeeze around to get to the other side of the bed, but it was manageable. Other than that it was perfect.

Great apartment, excellent location
We loved our weekend stay to celebrate our friend’s birthday. The apartment was clean, nicely decorated, and located close to everything we wanted (hikes, restaurants, breweries). The beds were comfortable and the shower water pressure was perfect! Thank you so much for the thoughtful details — coffee, sugar and creamers. Just what we needed!

We loved this renovated space. The rooms were all exactly as pictured. It had all of the supplies you could need while staying. It was such a handy location with easy parking. We loved having City Bakery downstairs – they did a great job!
We had one issue while staying, and they came to fix it immediately.
When we come back, we will absolutely stay here.

Rest Above the Busyness
Such a great apartment! It’s much larger than the pix make it look. Parking was easy. Since it’s an older building, you can hear other tenants and street noise when you’re quiet - might be tough for light sleepers. The water takes a long time to heat up - I’m guessing the water heater is waaaay below. All the paper products are thin and scratchy - so bring your own Bounty, Puffs, and Angel Soft. The stairs are no joke - 21 to 2nd floor and 17 more to the third. Pack for no elevator. Loved our stay. Comfortable. Safe. Enjoyable.

Ashville weekend
Price and location generally good for a weekend in Ashville. It is close to everything. This unit doesn’t include any kitchen table/ chairs to sit at which wouldn’t be as noticible if the family room furniture were more comfortable. The couch cushions are very wore down and uncomfortable to sit on for much time. The corner chair had a broken leg that needs some attention. We had an issue with the kitchen sink which was responded to very quickly by the property management and fixed right away. I think if the living room furniture were updated, it would be A-OK. Be prepared to do steps with luggage. It was fine for our group but could be a challenge for someone that has difficulty with carrying up steps. Our stay was satisfactory since we spent most of the days venturing out.

Great spot in Asheville!
We really enjoyed our stay! The apartment had everything we needed and having 2 king size beds was a plus. It was a quick drive to downtown shopping / eating.
It’s located above a restaurant and bakery. One night we just walked downstairs to dinner at Bone and Broth and had some pastries / coffee from City Bakery.
Would highly recommend this stay.
