Excellent place to stay near downtown Asheville - a short drive (or walk). The apartment, up 2 flights of stairs, is in a solid, older, renovated building. Everything is updated and we had no noise from neighbors. The block is quiet at night even though downtown is so close. There is a great bakery on the block which makes great breakfasts, and three grocery stores are close by - Harris Teeter, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods. If you do any of your own cooking, make sure you review the list of supplied items and pack additional ones as needed, as the items on that list are the only items provided. I highly recommend this listing!!
