Other Things to Note:
This is an upstairs unit with private entry. Please note there’s no elevator. This apartment sits above a separate lower-level unit and next door to a working lumber yard — daytime noise is common, especially on weekdays. It’s walkable to the best of West Asheville, but expect some city bustle. Not ideal for light sleepers or those seeking total seclusion.
Interaction with Guests:
We’re here if you need anything, but you’ll have full privacy and autonomy.
