This condo is really beautiful and perfectly located downtown Asheville. We arrived midst a winter storm and so the parking garage ramp was not plowed and therefore not accessible and quite dangerous - we were forced to park outside in the neighboring lot until they cleared the garage (another 24 hours). The communication with the property manager was quick and easy. There was noise from the bus station & snow plows the morning we checked out - so be prepared for noisy city street if you stay here. We were there over MLK weekend & a winter storm so the city was basically shut down - we weren't able to enjoy anything in terms of restaurants (they were literally all closed) or tours, but due to the coziness and space of the Air B&B we ended up getting basic comfort food from the grocery store, cooked at home and binge watched Netflix shows (we made the best of it). There are smart TV's in the LR, MBR & 2nd BR.
The location of this condo is ideal - Weinhaus is .2 miles away which was clutch for our brown ale addiction - this was the only place to get anything to drink the day we arrived and was SUPER convenient. Great selection of craft beers (many of them local). The condo is close to several restaurants we were hoping to try but couldn't due to the weather - but will come back and try them all out. Definitely walking distance if the weather cooperates.
Master bedroom was much cooler than the living room but didn't bother us while we were sleeping. Kitchen had the majority of the necessary items but I think could do a little better with utensils for cooking/baking etc. No rubber spatulas or serving spoons (that kind of thing).
All in all, we enjoyed the condo very much. The parking garage, once it was cleared, was wonderful to park in especially given the inclement weather. Homeless population was not bothersome to us - we just hurt seeing them out in the cold weather and wish we could do more. We would def rebook this next time we go to Asheville.
PS: If you are interested in booking and then need to extend your stay - there's quite a stiff increase in cost when doing this thru the Air B&B app, which they require. We had a great rate for the two nights we originally booked, but then with the predicted weather we asked to come a day earlier b/c the space was available. Our total bill went from $400 for the weekend to $825 to just add one night... so we ended up staying in a Fairfield Inn & Suites in town the first night to save that extra astronomical increase. Just be aware of the extra fees, price increase, etc. Property management was not willing to negotiate or work with us on price.
