This apartment is right in the middle of everything. There is a super cute coffee shop a block down that we visited every morning. So many cute shops to stroll around in the village. There is a great Mexican place right downstairs from the apartment called the Cantina. It was delish! Please don't let the fact that the Cantina is downstairs worry you. It might be right downstairs but you won't hear a thing from the restaurant. You are 2 minutes away from the gates to the Biltmore, and less than 5 from "downtown" Asheville. The apartment is super cozy and has everything you could possible need for a weekend or a month stay. The host was super easy to contact and offered lots of suggestions and tips. There is no doubt where I will stay the next time we are in Asheville.
