The apartment was as described. A little warm at times in the living room space but we booked this for the location and pet friendliness, not to stay in the room. There is a window air conditioning unit in the bedroom which was much appreciated. As other reviews have stated, there are quite a few steps for this to be a first floor apartment. From the back you enter at basement level. Parking was very convenient. I didn’t notice any noise in the room at night. Overall, this was just fine for our weekend getaway with our pup. If you’re looking for something super extravagant, this is not the place for you. But if you’re looking for a pet friendly place close to downtown Asheville and don’t mind a little walking, this is GREAT. Our host was very responsive to any questions I had!
