Lovely, well-appointed, newly renovated space in a historic building that’s walking distance to most everything in Downtown AVL. Across the street from a nice park.
If you like to cook, the kitchen has everything you need and plenty of space for several helpers. I especially enjoyed the drawer style cupboards. Very modern, well-organized and easy to use. I need these in my kitchen!!
Beds are comfortable, nice linens, plenty of towels, etc. Hand soap is provided as is body wash, shampoo, conditioner in the showers. Closet is huge and has a washer dryer. I could definitely stay here long-term and be comfortable.
Some points to note:
There are A LOT of stairs, both to enter the second floor unit from the street and to both bedrooms on the third floor. I don’t know if there is access for disabled or not but I didn’t see any elevators. For smokers, you’d have to trek up and down the stairs to get outside to the street since there is no balcony or rooftop deck, etc.
Parking is not provided nor close by. The adjacent lot is private and reserved for a law office. We parked in a garage a couple blocks away for about $25/day (I think). There is metered parking across the street but we couldn’t get the meter to work (screen was too dark to see). Typical parking situation for AVL, but worth noting.
If you’re a light sleeper, be warned that the fire department is across the park from the building and they run very loud sirens pretty much around the clock. It’s so loud that I had to plug my ears if the windows were open and there were so many calls I thought they were running drills but Karen explained they are the busiest first responder team in the city.
Would stay here again. Slept with Bose noise-cancelling headphones since the slightest noise wakes me. Most people likely not as sensitive.
