Taylor/Natalie’s basement apartment was nestled in an incredible location on a quiet street with lots of trees and friendly neighbors, and within 10-15 minutes of all other Asheville neighborhoods. We super enjoyed its proximity and accessibility to all the fun things.
After reading other reviews, we chose to be prudent and brought a noise machine to drown out any upstairs sounds. We’re no stranger to sounds especially coming from NYC.
Despite having the sound machine, there were a few occasions where we heard loud footsteps, hammering sounds, audio from a tv or computer, music, a dog running, and conversations through the bathroom and living room vents. I can only imagine that our conversations and daily sounds were also heard above. However, Taylor was responsive when we would text if he could be more sensitive to the noise especially later at night. I would suggest bringing a few noise machines or ear plugs.
We were here for two weeks working remotely and the wifi was pretty good with few interruptions. We also cooked a bunch, and because it’s a tighter kitchen with a hot plate and little ventilation, the smoke alarm would often ring. It’s sensitive for a reason, so just a caution if you’re cooking that the alarm will likely sound and to keep windows and doors open.
Taylor and his beautiful dog were respectful and pleasant. We think this served as a good jumping off point to explore all Asheville has to offer.
