Loved the unique home, so many fun things to look at. The kitchen was great to cook in. Had everything we needed to make some great meals. The whole family loved the birds. Having a fenced-in front yard was great for our dog. The internet was a bit slow, but we did have 7 people. Also, the bed on the first floor is best for 1 adult, maybe ok for 2 kids. Great communication with the host, always got back to me quickly.

Like most areas of Asheville, this neighborhood, has a high concentration of homeless people on the street. However, we had no issues with safety while staying at this house. The house is very old but has a lot of charm. We enjoyed our stay.
