Great loft in an incredibly central location. Close to everything. Big city vibe in a small town eclectic environment. Great way to spend the pre holidays with family. Highly recommend for those looking for something different.
Very comfortable and beautiful property. Well appointed and furnished. Excellent bedding and bathrooms. Save and private located in the heart of Asheville. Only problem is parking. Clsest lot is very expensive. More affordable parking is blocks away. It's worth it because i love the property -just wish parking wa easier.
My wife and I took out daughter,son in law and grandson to experience the magic of Asheville during the Christmas holiday season. We were blown away by this amazing place in the heart of Asheville. We will definitely book here again!
Colby loft was a great location within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The loft was spacious and well equipped. Beds were great. Parking garage easily located behind building.
Everything about this place was top notch! Beautiful historic building! VERY Secure! Easy! PERFECT LOCATION in the heart of downtown Asheville! I was concerned that it would be very noisy in that location but was very quiet inside and lively energy outside. I would highly recommend!
Great location and ample room for two couples. Accommodations were quite comfortable and the unit was well-equipped.
Parking with a motorcycle trailer was not easy and was real expensive until after Saturday at 6:00 PM. But, I’d stay here again!
Love the place. Parking easy. Needed new windows the cold air blow thru. Floor in master needed to be fixed. Water damage.
Felt like home. Great great and relaxing trip!would recommend
Thank you
Above all else the location is FANTASTIC. It is in the heart of Asheville and an easy walk to just about everything.. The Condo's Kitchen was very well equiped with anything you can think of.. The master Bedroom and Bath were very roomy. Hanging up clothes is challenging since the Master closet is locked. Besides that, it was a very comfortable living space for the 4 of us. Close Parking is limited and they fill up fast. Would I stay there again? ABSOLUTELY!!

Lofty
Beautiful and right in the heart of the downtown action. If the Asheville vibe is what you seek, this beautiful apartment is for you. Well furnished and very nice appointments. Linens, towels and accessories as good as. It. Quiet.
If you aren’t into the downtown scene, you may prefer a little farther out.
Property is managed by a bigger company and has many rules and hoops. Arrangements were not cleared until the last minute even with a reservation paid for weeks ahead of time. Wish it had been smoother.
But, the property was worth the hassle….i would return.

Asheville is Nice
My sister and I stayed at this property for a first-time visit to Asheville. The location is very convenient and we were able to walk to many locations and to quickly drive to other attractions. Be aware that (like many cities) Asheville is experiencing a homelessness problem downtown. There are also street musicians with loud sound systems who may treat you to a Led Zeppelin concert into the night. As far as the property goes, it is showing its age -- overall style, evidence of water damage in the MBR bath and on the LR ceiling. It lacks good sound-proofing between the units (smaller bedroom). There was also a persistent dank smell in the hallway. With a thorough re-do, it would be a great unit for a vacation visit. Given the price, there may be other nearby properties that are newer or in better shape . . . but probably not downtown.

Disappointed
The location is great. Easy to walk to everything. Unfortunately, we arrived on Friday evening around 5:30 to find that the property was not clean. We found food, trash, dirt, a Q-tip, etc. all over the floors. The dust on the master bedroom furniture was so thick we could write our names. The sheets seemed unclean so we had to wash them before we slept. They came out and cleaned the floors. No refund or discount just an apology in the form of an email. Would not recommend this property based on the response and the uncleanliness. Mistakes happen but more should’ve been done. And the Q-tip was still there after they did the floors.
This is a great location with easy access to good dinning optons. Close to Biltmore and more relaxed than a hotel environment. Overall, it was a most enjoyable experience
The Colby Loft is in a fantastic location. Located right in the heart of downtown. The S&W Market below the condo is a historic art deco building with a few take-out options for breakfast, lunch & dinner. We were able to walk to local restaurants, shops and points of interest. Parking and unloading was a challenge- but the public parking garage was convenient and a short walk behind the building. In order to enter the building and use the elevator we were sent several different codes at check-in. This was a bit confusing but we figured it out, and appreciated the security the codes provided. The condo was clean, equipped and comfortable. We liked the cement walls, urban industrial feel, & the decor.We would definitely recommend this location and will consider returning someday.(ps- the king box spring needs replacing) Thank you!
