My wife and I were in Asheville for a friend's wedding and John's place was the perfect spot for the occasion. The apartment is stylishly appointed and the entire place was impeccably clean. This was our second trip to Asheville and we have been pleased with our decision to stay in West Asheville both times. The neighborhood has tons of character, lots of amenities, and a little more mellow than downtown. That said, it is only a few minutes drive from all downtown has to offer. John provided recommendations to a number of great spots (a couple were old favorites of ours) that are only a few minutes walk from the house: Hole Donuts, Owl Bakery, Ghan Shan West and many more. Asheville is a town were your job is to eat and drink, then burn it off with a hike in the Smokies. You won't find a place better than John's for a great Asheville weekend.
