We enjoyed our stay at Arvin's home. He provided a lock box to the front door so we could come and go as we pleased, very accessible, parking spot in the front of the house. Arvin was there to greet us, but we didn't see him the rest of our two night stay. Our private room was downstairs. You have to walk through the kitchen to get to the guest bathroom, but I loved that Arvin provided bathrobes so I felt comfortable. The bathroom and bedroom were very clean! Shampoo/conditioner/body in the shower, hair dryer, toilet paper, everything fully stocked, clean towels. Firm bed, soft sheets. Keurig coffee maker was nice because Arvin's home is not walking distance to West Asheville so it was nice to have a hot cup of coffee while were getting ready to leave for the day.
I would definitely stay with Arvin again, it was budget friendly for a two night visit. Arvin even left us a piece of cake in the fridge! Nice touch :)
