Excellent location in the central downtown area! We walked a lot around downtown and took day trips to Chimney Rock State Park, the Biltmore and a No Taste Like Home foraging trip. Parking was free at the garage across the street while we were there except when there was a concert on Saturday evening nearby. Coffee place right next door. The loft was extremely clean and comfortable and also a fun and interesting! The only downside to this place is the open ceiling allows sound and light to travel easily inside. It was plenty dark inside for sleeping and the built in white noise machine was definitely nice for sleeping. However, because of that open ceiling everyone had to be lights out and quiet at the same time. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone, unless traveling with housemates that are loud and like to go to bed at different times.
