We had a wonderful weekend staying here. It’s just a quick 15 minute walk to downtown. The walk back from downtown is slightly more challenging as it’s more uphill but it’s well lit and we felt safe the whole way back. The apartment was very clean and spacious for us. The unit shares a wall with the host’s house so we wanted to be mindful of noise but this wasn’t an issue for us at all since we spent most of our time exploring the town. This is a great spot for a group looking for a home base to come back to after a long day of experiencing Asheville.
