Close to downtown (5-10 minute drive), very cute (ikea) decorated mountain basement apartment. There is a lot of light so it brightens up the place. Lauryl met us upon arrival and showed us the place. Pretty back porch to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. Asheville Pizza and Brewing is right down the road. You can hear whats going on in the house above you but we brought a noise maker and she has one too. Since we were not at the place very long the noise didn't bother us much. Lauryl had Trader Joe's bath products to use and was quick to respond with questions.
