Emily's place was exactly as described- we enjoyed our stay and had plenty of space for the 5 of us. Since the apartment is in her basement, there is a lot of noise that carries between. We heard her and her family quite a bit, which didn't bother us because we knew what we were paying for. Based off other reviews we expected to hear some noise, and we were fine with it. My only suggestion would be to not stay here if your group is larger than 2-3 people. Because of COVID we ate dinner and spent most of the evenings in the apartment. Without a TV in the unit, we resorted to playing games and talking (which again we were fine with because we didn't come to watch TV, and knew there wasn't one prior to booking). We knew based off her rules that quiet hours were between 10pm and 7am and felt that we were respecting that (while talking), however we got a text asking us to quiet down around 10:30 and 11pm. At that point it was just easier to go to bed. I feel like 5 people in a downstairs apartment is just loud no matter what, which is why I feel like this unit would be better suited for a couple. We loved everything else and we love Asheville! We will definitely come back.
