The hosts are super accommodating and welcoming. The space decor is quirky, fun and charming. The location is ideal for activities in Asheville! We would just say that if you want a more spacious place, this might not be for you. Also, plan to eat your meals out as there is not a kitchen - there is a microwave and mini-fridge, toaster and coffee maker. For a short stay, it is fine and there are plenty of good restaurants near by. The neighborhood has sidewalks so is good for walking dogs, and the people in the area are very friendly.
