The apartment is exactly as advertised, immaculate, and was perfect for our vacation in AVL. It is remarkably convenient to the River Arts District (4 minutes), Downtown (5 minutes) and North AVL (7 minutes), where you'll find Whole Foods, Trader Joes & Harris Teeter lined up in a row if plan to do any cooking or need to pick up a few things. Access to the highways couldn't be easier.
As for Katie, I can not imagine a more charming, helpful and thoughtful host. Check-in was a breeze and she provided us with restaurant recommendations, a list of things to see and do, including several that you won't find in the guidebooks, as well as last minute events that popped up.
We have family members and friends that are planning visits to AVL and I will certainly be recommending Katie's apartment to them.
