First I would suggest arriving during the day. While Emily gave details on how to access the back alley, we found it confusing in the dark. Our GPS took us to the front of the main house so we had to turn around to follow the instructions from her. The alley is steep, uphill, and so bumpy that it felt a bit like off-roading.
Also, the entrance door has a glass panel that takes up the whole door. There are no blinds/curtains so the neighbors can see inside (who were sitting outside one night we were there).
The ceiling is basically the underside of the floorboards upstairs so besides the noise from upstairs, you can also hear everything that happens in the bathroom since the wall doesn't go all the way up. I would not suggest this place if you are at all uncomfortable with your travel mates hearing you do your business.
There is no stove so if you plan on eating at home, stick to only microwavables or cold food.
There is also no TV which could be a good thing or bad...
With all that said, I think this is a nice place to stay. Emily was very nice and communicated well. We did hear her little one running around upstairs but only a couple times and it didn't last too long. The rooms were spacious and stylishly decorated. She had everything we needed. The location is great, it was a quick 5 minute drive to the Biltmore estate and downtown. It's in the middle of both.
