First off, Katie was an amazing host. Communication before our arrival answered every question we could have possibly come up with. She really thought of everything we may need. Checking in was a breeze. The house is too cute, from the layout to the furnishings to the multiple ways of generating a cup of coffee.
We loved that the house is only a few minutes walk from downtown Asheville, the South Slope Brewery area and, heading the other direction, the Riverside Arts District. Aside from the Biltmore area and venturing out of town, we never moved our vehicle. Yet somehow, it doesn't at all feel busy. Maybe it is the very residential area, maybe it is because of Asheville's elevation changes but I've been in many suburban and even rural homes where you could hear more traffic and hustle and bustle of the street. Everyone in the area is really friendly as well.
The furnishings inside the home provided everything we needed. Usually, we tend to cook ourselves, even when we are out of town. However, in the foodtopia that is Asheville, we may have used three utensils and a coffee cup in 5 days, but the kitchen is fully stocked if you need it and are in season to truly take advantage of Western North Carolina's Farmers Market scene.
I would and will recommend it to any of our friends traveling to Asheville. It checks all the boxes for us and was everything we were looking for. If you want to experience Asheville's fantastic food scene the location is perfect. If you want to try and tackle Asheville's ever-growing beer and brewery scene the location couldn't be better. If art is more your thing, the Riverside Arts District with it's growing collection of artisans, the French Broad River and White Duck Taco are just down the hill.
