This being our third visit to Asheville, it's THE best location for easy access to walk/run in and around Asheville. Consistent and courteous communication from the host before, during and after. The loft had everything and more than most hotels! White noise maker came in handy to muffle outside noise, though the urban sounds weren't really an issue for us. We were pleasantly tired from exploring the fabulous breweries, restaurants, and fall scenery the street noise didn't matter.
