Dorothy's basement apartment is very charming and quite the find in Asheville! It is located within about 5 minutes of downtown Asheville but is on a mountain with a quiet atmosphere and nice views. Dorothy kept in good contact with us throughout our stay but gave us the privacy we wanted. Other reviewers have said you can hear a little bit from the upstairs residents. This is true somewhat as we could hear a bit in the morning but it did not impact our stay and we didn't hear anything at night. Highly recommend Dorothy's apartment as the location cannot be beat!
