We were very happy with our recent stay. John was responsive, friendly and helpful. If you like to walk to restaurants, bars, and shops (which we do), you cannot go wrong at this location. We walked almost everywhere. The local offerings can keep you busy for a week without straying beyond about a 5 block radius. The unit is located near a highway but the noise did not bother us. If you are visiting Asheville, you are not going for the purpose of staying in your room so this really doesn't matter. The bed was super comfortable and the sheets deluxe. The free off-street parking is also a huge plus. We plan to return to Asheville and would stay here again.
