Absolutely GREAT location!! Once we arrived and unloaded our luggage, we did not use our vehicle again until our trip was over on Sunday, which is very telling of how great the location was. Everything we wanted/needed was within walking distance (15 minute walk at most) including: breweries, restaurants, shops, and all that Asheville's downtown has to offer. Close enough to the buzz of downtown, but tucked away in an area that allowed for quiet evenings once we decided to return to the apartment. Check in/out was a breeze, parking was free, and Jonathan was a great communicator. My boyfriend and I were thrilled that the apartment was pet friendly, and we were able to bring our 2 golden retrievers- there is a nice grassy area behind the building which allowed for easy access for quick potty trips for our pups especially in the mornings and evenings. Upon arrival we parked in front of the building temporarily while we unloaded all of our belongings from my car (I saw the suggestion from another review and I am so glad I did- it would have been possible to park in the back parking lot and unload from there, but it would have been much more time consuming and difficult because from the back lot you do have to go up several steps leading to the building as well as a flight of stairs up to the level of the apartment). The apartment, as well as the entire apartment building, was clean and fairly quiet. Both of the entrances to the building (front and back) had locked doors which required a code to enter- the apartment door also required a code to unlock- so we felt very secure and safe.
My boyfriend and I could not have enjoyed our trip any more than we did! We would absolutely stay here again next time we visit Asheville!
