Great location. Krista was honest about the noise in the house description. However, we didn't find it all that bad. Yes, the jazz bar is across the street & they do have music playing in the evening. But, when we went to bed around 10:30 or 11:00, we closed the door to the bedroom and with the noise machine we couldn't hear the music and slept great. The bed is super comfy with great pillows. The apartment is fantastic & beautiful - looks just like the pictures. We considered staying at places in West Asheville, they were less expensive. But super happy we chose to spend the extra money and stay downtown. We walked to everything except kayaking, New Belgium, and the arts district. Loved being able to pop in and out of the apartment as we wanted / needed. Stores for coffee and quick bites of food are close by so we didn't have to eat out for every meal.
