This neighborhood had a gorgeous mountain view and is a great location roughly equidistant to downtown and west Asheville. Walking distance to both the Wedge brewery, which I have always loved for a cool outdoor brewery near the river with top-notch food trucks, and New Belgium, which I had never been to before but offers FREE, entertaining brewery tours (you do have to sign up ahead of time but this can easily be done online) and also a great view if you want to enjoy a beer outside. The basement apartment was clean with just the essentials for someone who doesn't plan to spend a lot of time there but plans to really enjoy Asheville and use the apartment just for sleeping or for kicking back on the private deck with a coffee or a beer. My husband and I had a great anniversary trip and really appreciated Bob's availability and hospitality- we didn't feel the need to use him for much but he was very open to providing recommendations and included a nice guidebook of sorts with maps and favorite restaurants.
