The room was as advertised. I wasn't very familiar with the Asheville area. When my daughter and I arrived, I found the house was a block from a large public housing development. There is no issues at the house but driving to the house after dark we encountered people loitering and walking around the streets in groups. The first night we arrived the neighbors right behind the house had a rather loud band practice from about 6 p.m. until a little after 10 p.m. This is outside the hosts control but it should be noted if you are looking to turn in early. We had to be up really early the next morning so it was not the best timing. The hosts talked to the neighbors the next morning and they didn't practice again the next 3 nights but it is a possibility if you stay here. The house is not within walking distance to any sites. The hosts were very nice but overall not one of our better stays due to our itinerary/interests.
