For me, this is the ideal spot to stay in Asheville. I've spent a lot of time there (being I've lived within two hours of AVL for the last 10 years). It's walkable to the South Slope (Funkatorium, Burial, Buxton Hall, Vortex, etc.) and to downtown proper. It's easy to jump on the interstate to get to W. Asheville or even nearby Black Mountain.
It's old and charming and I will stay here again for sure!
April was great and let me check-in early as I was attending a conference and hoped to drop my bags off before going to the conf. Can't recommend this place enough!
