John’s place is great! The location is fantastic, and the space is well-appointed. There are several restaurants in walking distance, including the highly reviewed The Admiral. There are also a couple of breweries and coffee shops close by. Again, walking distance. Time to get into downtown is less than 10 minutes, which is pretty nice. The space itself is big enough and comfortable enough for two people for a few days. In accordance with Asheville’s short term rental policy, there is no full-fledged kitchen but there is a microwave, small fridge, coffee machine (with the necessary accouterments), as well as basic silverware, plates, etc. John also adds a nice touch by sharing local wine and beer. The place was very clean, and communication was seamless. As others have mentioned, this is below the family’s living quarters and it can get noisy from time to time, but it didn’t bother us, especially since it was quiet early in the morning and at night. For most people, it shouldn’t be a bother. All in all, a big thumbs up!
