I would say this place was not exactly what we expected. It was a bit dark and kinda detached from the main house as this room was actually next to the garage in the basement area of the house. It was clean enough but as noted above a bit dark. Definitely could use more space both for nightstand/end tables next to bed, since there were none, as we had to place things either on the floor or on top of the microwave/fridge stuffed in the closet. So a bit cramped having the closet taken up with the mini fridge with microwave on top.

But it was definitely close to town and certainly walking distance to anything in the main downtown of Asheville which is really a delightful eclectic artsy college town.

Although we didn't hang around the house much since we had lots of hiking to do in the mountains, it was a bit odd that we never saw or otherwise had contact with our host during our stay.
