The place was very close to everything (downtown, restaurants, hiking, the blue ridge parkway, great coffee shops, etc)! It’s close to the highway but you can’t hear a thing inside. We traveled with our 3 month old and dog along with my parents and felt like we had plenty of room. If we had more folks with us though, it may have been a bit tight. There’s so many fun thing to do in Asheville and staying in this location made them all so easily accessible!
