The apartment has been beautifully remodeled and although the second bedroom is tiny and has the exterior door opening into it , every inch of space has been utilized to create the room you need . The space is light and bright and the kitchen is amazing with great amenities!
The reviews mentioned the shelter across the street and “one or two people hanging around, but never felt unsafe” ...this was not our experience .
From the moment of arrival to the morning of departure, there were 15-20 people hanging around the yard, parking lots and street all day and night. The trash cans and yard were overflowing with trash and people were sleeping on the lawn and porch at night. The large windows in the apartment overlook this site so you aren’t going to utilize the sun streaming through them ;( ... not your usual scenic NC mountain view .
It’s a few blocks walk to all restaurants and shops .
Given the growth of Asheville, this area will continue to regentrify and in time these issues will be resolved, but for now it was a disappointment given the price of the apartment .
