The patio apartment was definitely better than what we expected. It was clean,quaint, and safe. It had everything we needed for our 3-day stay. We really wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the peacefulness of the apartment and it's location. The location was fantastic. It literally took us 6-7 minutes to get from the apartment to downtown Asheville. Melanie was very helpful in offering feedback about the Asheville area. When we go back to Asheville, this will be where we stay.
