The place was very cute and just like the photos. It's really close to the park where they have Shakespeare plays in the warmer months (wish we had more time for a whole show)! Historic Montford is adorable and feels really safe, even late at night walking the 15 minutes from downtown. It feels so green and lush even though you are steps from the city center. A great place for a morning walk/jog and the character of the houses are all really unique.
From their place, you are really close to Supper Club and Salvage Station - right on the river! We did stand up paddle boarding and checked out the local breweries. Uber was easy but we were told there is less availability when the students are away for the summer.
We also really liked West Asheville - a cool, eclectic neighborhood which is about a 5 minute drive and LOVED Taco Billy. We also enjoyed the LaZoom bus tour downtown and the cool new board game cafe, Well Played.
