My stay at Kitty's place was the perfect balance of autonomy and engagement. I worked from "home" and explored Asheville solo, but was invited to tag along with Kitty to explore the local and surrounding areas, as well.
Kitty and her roommate are very fun and cool people. The neighborhood is situated in a lovely part of Asheville that is close in proximity to good eating, good shopping, and classic places to visit in AVL. I would recommend staying with Kitty if you like an engaged, but not intrusive hostess.
