Nice apartment within 10-25 minutes walking distance of all the places we wanted check out in Asheville. The closest shops/bars being 10 minutes and the farthest (South Slope) being about 25 minutes. Apartment was cozy (the bed was amazingly comfortable). Reid was very helpful and assisted us immediately when we had some difficulty with the lock. He gave us tons of great advice on where to eat and drink. Also was very accommodating with a late checkout on our last day (much appreciated!!). As mentioned by other reviewers, you are right across the street from a Whole Foods which was nice for morning coffee and breakfast. However, the loading dock is right across the street so that was a little loud on occasion, but not too bad. As others mentioned, the walk to town isn't far, but I wouldn't attempt some of the routes alone at night. One way is under the overpass (which I would avoid at night), but you can walk a slightly different way by a gas station that seemed a lot more populated and well lit. We took Uber back one night from the South Slope and it was $8, so that is always an easy option.
