Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re really glad you enjoyed the space and its location—it’s one of our favorite things about it too. 😊
We’d love to host you again anytime you’re back in town!
Exactly as described with top notch communications along the way. The unit is trendy, modern, clean, and in a fantastic location. I really appreciate the quality of the dishware and all of the little touches they go out of their way to provide that you might only normally expect from high end hotels - like ground coffee, extra toiletries, and current information about the area. Highly recommend!
Great location, excellent cleanliness and host communication, and cool vibe of the property. We loved little touches like a fully stocked bathroom including a nice first aid kit. We needed a couple of bandages, so it was perfect. Convenient charging necessities throughout also. Beautiful kitchen, though we didn’t use it on this occasion. Would definitely stay again on our next trip to Asheville!
Great walking location, close to shops, bars and restaurants. The host was more than accommodating and the condo was in great condition. Would definitely stay there again.

Property was exactly as pictured. Super clean! Great location for walkability to all neighborhoods, and N Lexington Street was its own gem. Designated parking was easy to find and appreciated. All furnishings and kitchen items were deluxe. Coffee/tea station was unbelieveable. Appreciated the little touches...make-up wipes, tissues in every room, ear plugs, recycling in the hallway. Very secure. Absolutely recommend and would stay again.

My husband and I had a wonderful weekend in Asheville. The apartment was so nice, much nicer than the hotel where we usually stay. We will absolutely be back to stay here!
Convenient location to down town restaurants. Place was as pictured. Very clean and tastefully decorated. Kitchen thoughtfully stocked with the standard things but lots of extras such as baggies, aluminum foil, cream, sugar for coffee, etc. Appliances, dishes, cookware modern and new. Communication was fast and thorough. Directions / instructions sent prior to our arrival were very detailed and helpful.

About the host
Hosted by Reservationist, Sarah
Growing up Santa Fe, NM I saw a unique blend of artistic community, endless outdoor opportunities, interesting history, beautiful landscapes, and a diverse mix of cultures.
Though far from Santa Fe and a different climate, I arrived in Asheville in the early 90’s to practice Chinese Medicine and felt some of the same elements at play. Asheville was not well known, but you could feel the energy building and the mixture of art, landscape, environment, history and community all coming together. It reminded me of my ‘early days’ in Santa Fe. One of my closest friends was Andy Brokmeyer, who I told for several years that he needed to come to Asheville, as it was a dynamic and exciting place. We were also avid kayakers, and Asheville has been a Mecca for kayaking since the early days of the sport so I knew I could lure him out with the promise of all the great rivers in the area.
He came out ‘for a visit’ and hasn’t left. That was 16 years ago. Asheville has grown into the most happening place in the region, far beyond my expectations, and has sustained an authentic, community oriented and dynamic quality. Like my dad used to say about few places, it has ‘cultural energy’.
Why they chose this property
Though both Andy and I had done some residential real estate investment and development, 80 N Lexington was our first move into the commercial side. It was an old building, greatly in need of repair, and was a bit removed from the core downtown commercial traffic. We scraped together what we could and fixed it up, with an eye towards something special in the future.
Now, many years later, North Lexington Ave is hopping, with restaurants, breweries, bars, tea houses, coffee shops, galleries and wonderful, diverse retail shops right out the door.
And 80 N Lexington has been transformed into a blend of funky, hip, and industrial intertwined with lush, upscale design. A mix of style and comfort that is unique and authentically Asheville.
What makes this property unique
Just like Asheville, there’s nothing quite like it.
