The location was great and such a bang for your buck! We were close to the biltmore, downtown and any destination. The check in was seamless, and communication was great. We had to extend an extra night for a medical reason and it was extremely easy to get done fast.

We loved this rental. We were a party of 6 and it was great that everyone had their own room and bath. The common area was outstanding just to hang out. We loved the fire pit on top balcony. I highly recommend.
