Photos do not do it justice
The property is much better than in the photos. The appointments are very nice, right down to the framed photo in the bathroom. The most striking thing is how warm and comfortable it feels once you are inside. Convenient location for everything there is to see and do in Ashville.
Jason, the owner is very good at communicating with you and tries to accommodate all your requests. The additional space serving as an office with a wonderful day bed was a pleasant surprise.
All the furnishings are new, and more importantly, very comfortable.
You cannot go wrong with this as your selection.

Amazing & Quiet apartment
Amazing lower level unit as described in the Woodfin area of Asheville. Jason, was very quick to reply to questions and was awesome the entire trip. It’s a Lower level with very nice bedroom, large living area with TV, outdoor fire pit which we used! Remote but only a 10 minute drive into Asheville for the activities. I will stay again! Super clean and has washer and dryer on-site
