After spending a couple weeks in Asheville, and staying at numerous air B & B's, all I can say is that I wish I found Kathleen and Robyn's listing first!! Super host doesn't begin to describe the experience during my stay. Kathleen and Robyn went above and beyond their obligations. Excellent communication with me as well as being both friendly and welcoming.
The studio was beautiful, full of natural light, exceptionally clean and cozy. The kitchen area was stocked with organic granola bars, teas, coco and cold drinks. I found everything you need for a cozy stay.
For entertainment options, art and dining, Kathleen made a nice book of local suggestions which she printed off with a map along with descriptions in a binder. Again, the location was another major highlight! Just blocks from RAD, downtown and a 3-minute drive, (you could walk), to West AVL. The community is alive, charming and little to-no noise (I'm from a major city). I can't speak any more highly of this place, and will definitely return when in town.
Some of my suggestions for future guests, for coffee, eats and music, just blocks away : Battle Cat, Biscuit Head, French Broad Co-Op (Great Organics), One World West, 5 Walnut, Taco Billy, The Wedge, The Orange Peel, Asheville Music Hall, Home Grown, Fresh Wood Fired Pizza, The High Test Deli and Sweet Shop, Sunny Point Cafe, Little Bee Thia and White Duck Taco. Enjoy your stay. I know I did!
