The inside of the unit is clean and the location is easily walkable to all of downtown Asheville nightlife.
A couple things aren’t mentioned in the description: the unit is a basement apartment in what looks like an old college dormitory and it’s connected to a nightclub next door called “Scandals.” We didn’t hear any loud music but it should be worth mentioning as nearby.
As for Asheville itself, since they defunded the police, the whole downtown area does not feel safe at night with vagrants drinking late in parking lots and shirtless homeless people yelling at walls and sleeping on benches. We spent two nights in Asheville and did not see police anywhere.
The food and drinks are some of the best in the southeast but you should be take precautions and check the crime map when staying anywhere in Asheville.
