We hardly saw our host during our stay. I arrived as he was departing to run errands on Friday evening. He gave me instructions to find the room and that was the last we saw of him until Sunday. Never any problems during our 2 night stay. I parked on the street and my friend who joined me in Asheville parked in the drive for the duration of the weekend, and we used my car for getting around town. The street is really steep, so beware if you're not comfortable with that. The bed is nice and soft with lots of pillows and clean sheets. Plenty of towels available. The neighborhood is quiet at night. It's within walking distance of several restaurants, although 'downtown' is a bit far in my opinion. I booked the stay only a few days in advance when hotels in Asheville were either sold out or hundreds per night. Based on rate, location, and availability, this place is a winner. I'd stay here again if I return to Asheville.
