My boyfriend and I really enjoyed staying at Katie's place over our week-long vacation. The place is thoughtfully laid out and was exceptionally clean. It's in a building that used to be a hotel but now contains individually-owned condos. The place is very secure, and you get your own parking space right in front of the unit. Very comfortable King bed. Cool shower with dual-opposing heads that worked great. Full kitchen. Katie set out some wine, even left us cream in the fridge for coffee (much appreciated :) ). And the place is indeed walkable (5 to 7 minutes max) to the center of downtown. Katie was super-responsive and helpful whenever we had any questions. Had great suggestions for restaurants, things-to-do, etc. We did have a temporary maintenance issue that was out of Katie's control ( a few days of construction/renovations in the neighboring unit, was done before we left). Once Katie was aware, she stepped in and went above-and-beyond to take care of us. We'd happily stay here the next time we're in Asheville. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to stay close to downtown.
