Location! Downhill from everything. After we were shopped out, it was nice to have a downhill walk back to the apartment. Four or more brew pubs a block away in every direction. Our family of four had no problems staying in the studio. Appreciated having a water filter pitcher in the kitchen. No microwave, but there is a good toaster oven. The garbage truck came around 06:30 on Tuesday morning, and local contractors seem serious about their 7am start times. We're building a house in KY; shoulda hired NC contractors. The studio is clean, tastefully decorated, and contains great old-house charm, including a claw foot tub. I'd book here again in a heart beat.
