This is a great location to walk around downtown , close to shops, restaurants , and the arena if going to a concert . There is a food court on bottom floor with good choices and the condo has security codes that have to be entered to use elevator to condo so I felt very safe . Having 2.5 bathrooms and the large areas plus outside patio made it a great choice . I would point out that the bedroom upstairs does not have a door , the stairs end at opening to bedroom so you can hear anyone downstairs if they are staying up later. The fold out couch is in upstairs bedroom , the downstairs couch does not fold out . That is good to know if you have people that do not want to share a bed . I would stay here anytime I go to Asheville if I am with friends and we want more space than a hotel and ability to cook. I love the decor with the exposed brick .
