The basement apartment is well situated for strolling in West Asheville. Lots of nice cafes, restaurants and nightlife. The apartment is plenty big and the king size bed is comfy. You are in a basement so there is some upstairs noise but not intrusive. A Dohm white noise sound machine is in the bedroom! The dogs were barking earlier in the afternoon but I did not hear them at all during night hours. Don't plan on cooking much here as cooking and serving implements are minimal. Luckily, there's plenty of places you can walk to to get good food. Communication and entry info was quick and clear. The living room area was bright and daylit with lots of windows. Overall, a pleasant stay as long as you are OK with being in a basement!
