The neighborhood was a nice quiet residential street. It was close to downtown Asheville but probably more driving than walking distance. The unit is the lower level or basement of a larger home with its own entrance. The place was cute and quaint but there were a couple things we didn't expect. The one bed is only a full size bed, not even a queen size so that was pretty tight if you're staying several nights. The refrigerator in the kitchen is quite loud and the bedroom is right next to the kitchen. We could hear it even with the bedroom door closed so it could be an issue for light sleepers. The wifi login information sent to us in the itinerary was incorrect so we couldn't get any internet access the first night until the host got back to us the next day. And the cell phone reception in the area isn't great either. Otherwise, it was fine. Tara checked in with us a couple times via text so that was nice.
