This flat is a FABULOUS choice if you want to stay near downtown Asheville. The apartment has been beautifully renovated with tremendous attention to both aesthetics and practicality. Loved the cozy flannel sheets, the great art prints and mirrors, the stainless steel cookware and the spacious kitchen. The living room is welcoming. Reading lamps in every bedroom, wonderful walk-in closet to store luggage and clothes. Lots of comfy towels, great shower with plenty of hot water. Walking distance to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods (we cooked several nights and had enough cookware to do that easily). Really appreciated the little touches... a few interesting books to look at, the coffee, salt and pepper, ziplock bags, etc. My cousin and I also had a great time visiting Asheville...especially enjoyed the Battery bookstore and Champagne Bar--heard some wonderful bluegrass there. And had a delicious meal at Curaté-- a tapas bar downtown. Melissa was quick to respond when I had a little problem getting online and we resolved that quickly. Next time I am in town I will definitely see if this place is available...don't be put off by its location at the end of the street overlooking an empty lot...the neighborhood felt very safe (we were two women) and the flat is absolutely lovely. Highly recommend!
