We had a fantastic time at Susan's place. The apartment was super clean, very nicely decorated, and had absolutely everything one could need and much more. We greatly appreciated the location away from the city, but still walkable to most places. We walked downtown with no problem (approximately 35 - 40 minutes of pleasant walk weather permitted). The bird feeder outside a kitchen window was absolutely precious. And then comes Susan, one of the best hosts who is very accommodating and very respectful of ones' privacy. Thank you Susan for making our stay and our first trip to Asheville such a success!
