Katie's place was exactly what you wanted. Clean, cute, and comfortable, and about half a mile from downtown Asheville and a similar distance from West Asheville. That said, it's tucked away on a quiet little street. Plus, there's a great screened-in porch for morning coffee.
As far as Katie, you couldn't ask for a better hostess. She met us when we arrived, was available the whole time for any questions, gave solid recommendations, and even left us some goodies in the fridge and snacks for breakfast. Next time I'm in Asheville I'm coming back to stay. Thanks Katie!
