My fiance and I stayed with Marta for 4 days. The welcoming was very warm and she provided us with nice drinks, water, beer and fresh towels. The mattress of the european style futon bed was for us the best we have slept in for months. The flat was spacy and clean and had everything we needed. On the rainy weekend we browsed through some of the interesting books Marta had there.
The apartment faces the garden is very quiet and has an extra entrance. We were there for a quiet time and to explore a little around the Asheville area. For us it was the perfect place to stay. We also spent some time in the deck chairs on the terrace watching the birds and squirrels move about their business. Very relaxing.
We both felt very welcomed by Marta and had a wonderful time at her place. Highly recommended.
