Beautiful and well appointed, this super clean large one bedroom apartment looks even bigger with its soaring 11+ foot ceilings. The floors are hard wood, soft and warm to the feet and furnishings are comfortable and amply spaced. The hosts wife Claudia was SUPERB. Very quick to communicate with us and very knowledgeable of Asheville. She was very sincere in questioning our comfort level during our 3 day stay. There are a few homeless here and there around the garage (which is VERY secure), but they were never a bother and usually kept to themselves. We didn’t feel in danger around them but for those not used to homelessness it might seem slightly jarring. We cannot fault the owners for this as and we would still give this listing a 5!
