My wife and I stayed here for our 21st wedding anniversary. We enjoyed our stay. I have Ellis’s place 5 stars because we had no problems with the apartment or with Ellis. This is a very spacious basement apartment with everything you need for a short stay (we stayed 3 nights). Even though it is a basement it was warm and cozy. We even had an entire day of rain, and there was no evidence of water inside. Keep in mind that the apartment is directly under a loved in home. You will hear some occasional noise from upstairs, however this was never a problem for us. The place was very quiet during sleeping hours (we are not night owls!). We hadn’t private driveway and entrance in the back. I would not recommend this apartment to anyone with mobility issues. You do have to navigate a few stairs, and the floor inside is a bit uneven in places, but this didn’t bother us at all.
Overall I would recommend Ellis’s for anyone looking for a clean, spacious, affordable place close to downtown Asheville and the river arts district.
