We loved this apartment. We did not take advantage of walking to downtown, but it certainly was close. The place is accurately described and prettier than shown! Stylish and very clean. The bed was to die for!!! Just the right amount of softness and firmness. We did not cook but used the microwave and of course the coffee maker. It is a drip and there are filters and some coffee. We brought a bag of ground coffee which worked for us. The hosts were super responsive to any messages . Loved our stay in Asheville. We toured the Biltmore and drove the Blue Ridge Parkway and hiked. Great restaurants in town too!
