Bright window light gives an airy feel to the colorful decor of this second floor apartment. In a very safe and lively neighborhood, you'll hear street music and street life, but just enough to be pleasant. Location! Location! Location! folks!!! Walk across the street or up the block for groceries and coffee and cuisine. Walk a few blocks to the Visitor Center to get some great pointers and check out the gift shop - and an awesome view of the Blue Ridge. Walk a few more blocks and you are in the heart of downtown Asheville - not more than a 15 leisurely minute stroll. Streets are narrow, but parking is easy and there is always a convenient space available. You are just blocks to the highway on ramp for adventures further abroad in the greater Asheville area - and those abound. Check out the arts scene - everything from visual to performing to literary arts at all price levels can be found around every corner. Reid had everything set up for us so it was just like coming home from the first time we unlocked the front door. We recommend a stay here without any concerns. You will love it as much as we did. We will definitely be back. Thanks, Reid!
