April's apartment was homey and private. She provided soaps and some chocolate from Trader Joe's, which was really great after a long drive. The location isn't bad -- there are a few great restaurants in easy walking distance including Luella's, Homegrown, and Whit's Frozen Custard. In terms of its proximity to Downtown, it's walkable but the temperature was in the 90s and it was pretty humid, so we chose to drive ourselves or use Uber. It was about $7.50 a ride and was super quick. We love Asheville, and April's place was a really great place to stay.
