Overall, we had a great stay at Purple Door! It was a very clean, cozy, and cute apartment. It is located in a residential neighborhood and walking distance to many bars, restaurants, and breweries in west Asheville, which was very convenient. I’m a pretty light sleeper and I never noticed any noise during the posted quiet hours.
The only real con I have is that my husband and I both found the bed to be slightly uncomfortable. The bed frame feels a little flimsy/wobbly and squeaks a bit when you move around. The entire bed also slides on the floor very easily, even if you just gently bump it.
Also, just some additional information for potential future renters (I don’t consider these things to be a negative, just FYI)... in my opinion west Asheville is not exactly the most scenic or beautiful area of Asheville. It’s not “bad” by any means and does have a certain quirky charm, but if you’re looking for beautiful mountain views and scenery you may want to pick a different area. Also, this apartment does not really have any outdoor space (I don’t consider this a negative because it doesn’t claim to). Again, just something to be aware of if you were hoping to be able to relax outside. Lastly, if you’re someone who likes to sleep in til noon or take long afternoon naps, this may not be the best place for you. As I said earlier, I’m a light sleeper and I never noticed any noise during the posted quiet hours but since it is a basement apartment and a family with children lives upstairs, some light noise can be heard during the afternoons.
