Beautiful, new-build unit in a high-rise condo. Extremely clean with ALL the amenities (plenty of dishes, good-quality cookware and linens, and high-end Bosch appliances, including washer/dryer). The various entry codes helped up feel safe in this area, (downtown is experiencing many unhoused people – a problem all over our country - and we witnessed some drug use - not among the unhoused - on the sidewalk across from the condo -). Asheville is a terrific jumping off point to explore western North Carolina. This could be a plus or bonus depending on the guest, but there is an outdoor concert venue across the street. We enjoyed a fantastic Beach House concert from the comfort of our balcony (show ended at a very reasonable 10 pm). Guests should plan to BRING EARPLUGS for a good night’s sleep in the summer months. Between the bus station directly across from the condo (busses are loud), heavy car traffic below (horns, stereos booming, engines revving at all hours of night), late-night foot traffic (people yelling) and the 4 am leaf blower, we were exhausted from sleep interruptions.
