Clean, cute space perfect for a couple. I'd say to plan for 15-20 min walk into Asheville's downtown. The part walking through the neighborhood is beautiful! For us this was much better than finding parking. There is a substantial hill to get there but it's downhill on the way back! For those wondering about noise when you are in a downstairs apartment, it depends on your tolerance level. There is an active household in the upstairs and you can definitely hear the comings and goings. For us, this was not disruptive. Highly recommend this place as a home base for exploring the area. Hosts are very friendly and accommodating!
