Emily''s place checks all the boxes, as follows:
1) Walking distance to Belgium Brewery, Archetype Brewery, French Broad River, and River Arts District, plus a couple of small restaurants.
2) Quiet neighborhood that delivered a good night's sleep. Despite its proximity to what appears on a map as major thoroughfares, and despite it being in a community of closely spaced homes, we did not hear one peep from other occupants of the house and not one bit of traffic noise.
3) Friendly area. We saw a lot of people walking their dogs around the curvy little streets and every one was super friendly. Walking around at night we felt perfectly safe.
4) Blackout curtains made the bedroom nicely dark.
5) Emily left us sugar, tea, coffee, creamer, snacks, and even a couple of beers in the fridge. So convenient, and helped make us feel super welcomed.
6) The place was spotlessly clean, with a sleek look and understated decor.
