The apartment was just as described. It's a bit small, but you're in Asheville, there's no reason to stay indoors. :)
There was a miscommunication with housekeeping, and Reid came right over and cleaned the apartment himself - he's nearby and easily accessible when needed, without being too close or invasive at all.
It's not exactly sound-proof, you can hear the neighbors quite easily, but as much as we were at the house, it wasn't much of a bother - we were too busy eating all the best food downtown.
Downtown is a short walk (maybe a half mile?), and there are a few cafes, breweries and shops even closer than that, including several grocery stores.
