We planned a four city, driving Summer vacation, due to concerns about traveling out of Country and COVID. Asheville was the only city that we used Airbnb, opting for hotels in the other, shorter stays. And having access to apartment amenities, particularly a washer / dryer, made all the difference. John's apartment is meticulously clean and very well appointed. Communication and check in were clear and concise. Asheville overall is a little slice of mountain heaven and the apartment is in an absolutely perfect location. A huge amount of restaurants and breweries are within in walking distance. A few of our favorites: Curate, White Duck, Biscuit Head, Sunny Point, Rhubarb, Benne on Eagle, Tupelo Honey, Wiked Weed, the Green Man and Dissolvr. We opted to grab a coffee each morning at High Five, directly below apartment, which is wonderful. We were a little concerned about parking, which turned out to be super easy. The garage directly across from the apartment was full, but there is another half a block away. You can hear a lot of ambient noise from the street and other apartments, but it is nothing compared to very urban areas like NY and it did not disrupt our sleep at all. The people in Asheville are incredibly kind and welcoming. Other activities we'd recommend: River Arts District, driving / hiking the Parkway, fantasizing / strategizing about moving to Asheville. Highly recommend both the apartment and the lovely city!
