David and Melissa's place was a very nice and quite large studio, basement apartment. The location is quite close to a few restaurants and bars. If you don't mind walking, you're less than 1 mile to New Belgium Brewing and river, and within 2 miles to the far side of the West Asheville strip. No tenant upstairs during our stay, so we cannot comment on potential noise. Had a decent, unfenced backyard area for dog. Neighborhood was nice and quiet.
