Highly recommend for vacations/getaways to Asheville where proximity to downtown is a priority. My wife and I took our 2 year old son to visit for a long weekend, and were walking distance away from just about everywhere we went to visit. We really enjoyed having High Five coffee and Whole Foods right around the corner as well. The welcome coffee/chocolate, amenities, quality of the bedding and overall setup was perfect for our family of three.
This being our first time to Asheville, we were surprised at the homeless population in the area (and with the house being across the street from a Christian Church/Community Center), but it wasn’t out of the ordinary from any other urban city center we have visited/stayed.
While we were hesitant and guarded at first, the neighborhood was safe, peaceful/quiet, and we experienced no issues during our time there. I’d honestly chalk it up to the culture of the city more so than the location of Carly’s place. We had so much fun and will be requesting to stay with Carly in the future for our next visit!
