Dean’s place is a great location for a number of reasons. First, it’s a very short walk or drive to almost everything you would want to do in Asheville. Walk to restaurants and others shops on Haywood or take a short drive to the River Arts District and spend the day there. Second, Dean and Flash are great hosts. Communication was easy and Dean was very helpful with recommendations. Flash was very helpful in alerting us when other dogs were nearby. Third, the space itself was clean and comfortable. Having a private bedroom and bathroom is great then you add on the well-stocked fridge with beer and sodas to please many tastes…terrific! Fourth, an incredibly interesting neighborhood and I’d love to dig deeper to learn more of the stories. There is a mix of old and new architecture and it really seems to be a welcoming and emerging area of West Asheville. Be sure to plan to take some walks up to Haywood and around the area. Overall a really nice few days and I’d be happy to stay with Dean and Flash again next time I’m in town.
