The basement is cute, cozy, and clean. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was small but clean. West Asheville is a great neighborhood with its own little great restaurants, and Kari's place is right around the corner from a lot of them. The neighborhood is quiet and easy to navigate, plus it's a short drive into downtown Asheville. There were a few times when there was heavy foot traffic and other noises that could be heard through the walls and ceiling (dog barking, musical instruments being played), however none of the noises lasted for long periods of time. Overall I'd recommend Kari's place to anyone looking for a cute little place to call home while exploring Asheville!
