My friend and I stayed at Yelena's place for a week and absolutely loved it. She has a dedicated parking spot for guests, easy check in, full kitchen with tea and coffee, nice big bathroom, and two good size rooms. I loved the warm decor touches and the comfy couches. She also has plenty of towels stocked up for use. Close to grocery stores, not far from downtown Asheville, but would need a car. We went to a lot of hikes, but a majority of them were about an hour away. I really enjoyed my stay there because it truly felt like a home away from home. I would absolutely stay there again because not only was the place comfy and homey, but Yelena was also extremely hospitable, would go out of her way to make sure you have everything you need to be comfortable, and is just so pleasant to interact with.
