The apartment is cute and cozy, and the location is fantastic. But it was unclear to me when I booked the place for my wife's bday weekend that the apartment is really one side of Christal's home and that the walls are quite thin. My wife and I woke up to the sound of her dogs barking during a nap. At one point, the music from the other side of the house was loud and the bass was thumping in our room. (Something that I admit to be a little overly sensitive about.) Christal does provide a sound machine, but there is a limit to what that can do.
To be clear: we had a great time in Asheville and noise was never a major issue -- we slept fine both nights. But I wish I had been more aware of the house set up and the thin walls before I booked.
