Cute and spacious apartment at the northern end of downtown Asheville. Both upstairs and downstairs spaces had generous light coming in from the Chicken Alley side. There are two parking spots South of the apartment on Carolina Lane, ? only for loading/unloading M-F 9-5ish, though cars remained there for far longer. Otherwise the nearby public garages (e.g. Rankin) cap out at $20/day. Walking distance to everything in downtown Asheville. Closest grocery is French Broad Street Co-op 10 min away on foot.
Only issues during our stay were that the downstairs toilet kept alarming. The replacement toilet arrived during our stay and should be in place for future guests. Also the edges/corners of the upstairs floor were dusty with a bit of debris (e.g. a piece of popcorn, a dime, a die) scattered throughout that wasn't caught on the cleaning before we arrived. This could v well have gone unnoticed were it not that we were traveling with a small child who spent a lot of time on the floor. This is nothing that the cleaners couldn't attend to the next time around.
The host was courteous and prompt in his replies. The downstairs space was a bonus, with lower ceilings but plenty of light. Save for the impending toilet replacement, the downstairs bathroom may be more user friendly than the upstairs where the toilet and bath are in separate locations. The laundry room was a bonus perk as well.
Overall nice space, moderately priced, in a good location, with a very prompt and personable host!
