This is the place to stay if you want easy walking access to downtown Asheville. Room 11 has a wonderful cross breeze being on a corner of the house with windows on the two outside walls. It was very relaxing and suited us perfectly. It faced away from the main drag so didn't hear as much people or car traffic.
We did not have any interaction to speak of with long term tenets and did not see any other guests. It was very quiet inside the Inn. I think the busy season will be starting soon so can't comment on how that would be. Locals at restaurants spoke of big crowds that they try to avoid.
Room and bathrooms were clean. Water pressure in one shower was not great, but other shower was pretty good. Sink in room was ideal with soap and towels provided.
Inn located within 1-2 miles of maybe 7 breweries. Good restaurants and many shops nearby. An hour south is Dupont National Forest with many beautiful waterfalls. Well worth the drive. Also in town the River Arts District was one of my favorite places to go.
Would come here again.
