Our first time in Asheville, and it was a great experience!

Michelle was warm, welcoming and hospitable, even preparing the room for us earlier than expected so we could grab hot showers after a few dirty days hiking on the Appalachian Trail. She took the time to give us great dinner recommendations, a reminder why Airbnb is so great and personal -- you get that local perspective right off the bat from someone who clearly loves their city. We loved how walkable the town was from Michelle's neighborhood -- we strolled the River Arts district and downtown, stopping into some of Asheville's cool brew pubs, galleries, and cafes.

The room and bathroom were clean and very comfortable, with beautiful artworks reminding us of the mountains we'd just finished hiking. The mini fridge and coffee maker were also a great touch -- we definitely made use of both.
