Maureen's place was great! Very spacious and comfortable. It doesn't feel like a basement apartment. Maureen lives above the apartment and popped out to greet us as we drove up. She left us alone thereafter, but was great about responding to random questions as they arose. We could hear the occasional clicking of dog paws above, but it was in no way obtrusive. We spent the weekend going between Downtown Asheville and the River Arts District, and this apartment was convenient to both. We'd stay here again for a nice weekend getaway.
