About this property

Luxury Loft in Downtown Asheville: chic, central, in the middle of all the fun!

Welcome to Asheville!

The short story
Loft living with a view of downtown roofs and mountains in the distance: it doesn't get any better than this! Seven hundred square feet with a separate bedroom and sleek bathroom, modern kitchen and lovely living space on the second floor of the brand new remodeled Rankin Press building in the middle of downtown. All the character of a historic building (original exposed brick walls and hardwood floors, high ceilings) combines with stylish, modern amenities (stainless appliances, modern bathroom, washer/dryer, elevator, chic street entrance) to give you the most comfortable life in Asheville. Step outside and you are in the middle of everything: the culinary, shopping and art mecca of Asheville. Step inside and you are in a quiet, secluded urban hideaway. Secure off street parking available right across from your front door in city operated parking deck. Designated loading bay by front door for easy arrival and departure. Sleeps 2 to 4 in comfortable, clean and quiet luxury.

Let us tell you a little more
Come experience the luxe and quiet of our spacious loft in the heart of downtown. Furnished and decorated with a European design sense, modern yet warm and inviting, you will start relaxing the minute you step inside. Everything is designed for your comfort. Clean, peaceful and perfectly outfitted: our loft has everything for the discerning traveler. Spend the day eating, drinking and making merry, or spend it rafting, hiking and playing (you can store your road or mountain bikes in our building). Then come back to your centrally located loft, rest, put your feet up, and get ready to go out again into the vibrant nightlife of Asheville. There is a restaurant with a James Beard Award nominated chef on the corner of your street (Table); his den of mixology, with out-of-this-world cocktails, is one flight of stairs up from there (The Imperial Life). Or how about a loungey bar for chocolate lovers, with wine, of course, but also handmade bonbons and spectacular deserts so good that the line often stretches out the door (French Broad Chocolate Lounge)? Walk down the street and around the corner, and you're there. You are also next door to the south's finest shoe store with its 300 brands and staff of personal shoppers (Tops for Shoes). Those are just a few of the many, many fun things to do in asheville. You can catch a play at the Asheville Community Theatre or a movie at the Fine Arts cinema. Or how about a leisurely stroll to the River Arts District, to visit artists in their studios and have a beer at The Wedge? Speaking of beer, famous local artisanal beers and their brewers are calling your name! See what's brewing and sample what's new at the many downtown bars and breweries. Watch the sun set on Cold Mountain at Asheville's highest elevation bar (The Sky Bar). Go hear a live band at the famous Orange Peel. Take a Pilates or yoga class and have a spa treatment. So many things to do, so much to see. You can go days without using your car, which is safely and affordably parked, off street, right across from your front door.

Excellent location & Lovely loft

We wanted a comfortable place to stay for a weekend away in Asheville. The location of the loft apartment was perfect for walking every where we wanted to go. The loft was clean, spacious, and beautiful. I loved the design and decor of the place. The bedding was super comfortable and I slept like a dream! Highly recommend this loft and hope to stay here again in the future.

Great design in a perfect location

We enjoyed our long 4th of July weekend at this very nice apartment and walked only a few steps to everything downtown asheville. We liked the loft style with upscale interior design. Everything looked new and it was very well equiped. Public Parking across the street is quite convenient. We got exceptional help from the onwers on even the most minor question.

Upscale Accomodations for the Active Outdoor Adventurers

Wife & I recently stayed here for a long weekend getaway. Location is amazing! Centrally located in downtown Asheville on a quiet side street with a large (pay) parking garage directly across the street. Tons of restaurants, shops, nightlife, street musicians, etc .... right out your door! We spent most of our days exploring Pisgah & the Land of Waterfalls in Transylvania County ..... and nights strolling downtown Asheville and listening to the drum circle / Stillwater Hobos (local musicians who were playing on different street corners during our stay and are definitely worth looking up!)

Asheville Stay

Really wonderful host and great location! The only recommendations I have for this location is to warn visitors that hallway lights in building go off with no movement. I was not prepared and worried about safety when I entered a dark hall. The addition of shades in the living room would help with the morning bright sunlight. The floors have original flooring and some settlement irregularities. Overall we were very pleased with the stay. The host was absolutely wonderful! I would definitely stay there again.

Perfect Asheville Stay!

This lovely apartment was just as pictured showed and as clean as well. It was in the back of the bulidling so very quiet just a some squeaky floors lol, but the bathroom was only steps away for a middle of the night call. Parking was just across the street not bad at 20 dollars per day. Everything is in walking distance from the flat and ths coffee shop downstairs was perfect and the bar a few feet from that was always hopping but not disturbing at all. Claudia the owner was very helpful and checked to make sure our stay was great the whole time. I would definitely recommend this as your home away from home in Lovely Asheville. We had a wonderful 30th anniversery, so thank you Claudia for everything!

Immaculate Accommodations!

My husband and I took a weekend trip to Asheville for the first time away from our little one. We chose this loft because it looked beautiful from the pictures, as well as, that it was in a perfect location. We were thrilled when we arrived. Claudia, the owner, was putting the finishing touches on the place, making it vacation ready. We have used VRBO countless times over the years for the many places we've traveled to and I have to say that this place is one of the very best places we've stayed. AND it was less expensive than most of the downtown hotels (ALoft, Hotel Indigo, etc.). Having visited Asheville many times before, this place is also in the heart of downtown making it easily accessible to restaurants, events, shopping, etc. (which is why we chose it since we were visiting for a weekend festival and needed something within walking distance). Claudia made sure that every ammenity was provided for and that the rooms were totally clean and cozy. The loft itself was spacious for a one bedroom place with lots of extra nooks for keeping suitcases/travel items. Our stay was outstanding and we definitely plan to stay here for all of our future trips to Asheville.

Almost Perfect

This property was amazing! The condo is beautiful and has such an awesome old building feel to it. It was well furnished and stocked with everything a home should have which made "living" here for a week perfectly comfortable. We also brought our bikes, and having storage for them downstairs was awesome. It was so nice not having to take our bikes up an elevator into a hotel room. Not to mention you just couldn't ask for a better location!! I don't think I have ever enjoyed a place so much! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is for one small detail that was not listed in the description or in my conversations with the owner and that was the bed; or beds I should say..two twin beds to be exact. Albeit comfortable, it was not what we were expecting when we reserved the room as the pictures lead you to believe there is a king or queen bed. But no biggie, we found some twin size mattress pads and shoved them down the center and lay a pillow top across it to make it more like a real bed. We still slept great and had a wonderful stay and would stay here again even with the separate beds. But I feel it is important to mention so that you should know exactly what to expect. All in all, I wouldn't change a thing and am so glad we chose this place over a hotel!

About the host

Hosted by Claudia Konijn

Host profile image
Our loft is brand new, and we are very proud of it. We are Ricardo (born in Colombia, entrepreneur and business owner) and Claudia (born in Holland, writer and interior designer). We moved to Asheville 12 years ago, after traveling and living all over the world, and we love our town! It is a wonderful place to raise our family and we would love to share its fun and rewarding experiences with you. Asheville has everything: stunning natural beauty surrounding it, vibrant culture, great food, distinctive architecture, interesting people, a relaxed and safe pace, and so many things to do, see, taste and enjoy that you will want to stay longer. We are both deeply involved in the local community and know the restaurateurs, artists, micro brewers, outdoor enthusiasts (or Pilates teachers, massage therapists, chocolatiers, zipliners,) that you want to meet. We look forward to welcoming you!

Why they chose this property

We had our eye on this building for a long time. It housed the Rankin Press, a historical Asheville business, and has a real urban appeal. It is beautifully situated and we were very excited when we heard it would be renovated for mixed residential and commercial use. Our block is so vibrant and has so much to offer; shops, restaurants, bars, a salon, a brewery, residential apartments, galleries. But our loft is away from the street and offers complete quiet and seclusion, in the middle of downtown! Truly the best of all worlds.

What makes this property unique

Our loft has the beauty of a historic building: original wooden floors, exposed brick walls, high ceilings. But it is modern at the same time, and very easy to live in. What is most attractive about it is the sense of privateness and retreat that you get when you step inside. We love spending time here!
