John's place is incredible. We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is as advertised and the pictures are very accurate. The place was spotless and had everything we could ever need (and more). John's special touches were thoughtful and appreciated. For example, you are welcomed with a very detailed binder on all things Asheville, from restaurant suggestions to different activity tips for the area, as well as complimentary local Asheville beers in the mini fridge and wine from the Biltmore. Even the complimentary water bottles were happily welcomed and a very kind gesture. It's obvious that John loves his city and wants his guests to get the full experience and to leave with a great impression, and we sure did. The apartment is in a great location, a short drive (or even a decent walk) from the New Belgium brewery, and a couple of restaurants and other breweries. It only took a few minutes longer, by car, to get into downtown so the location is very convenient. We ran into John a couple of times during our stay and he was very attentive and wanted to make sure we were having a great time. Small note: John and his family live directly upstairs, so in the morning hours you may hear the "pitter-patter" of little feet running across the floor above you. If you're a very light sleeper this may disturb you, but we didn't find it to be a problem at all and it didn't bother us. Overall, it was a great trip and we will definitely be back!
