Perfect location and surrounded by great food and drink options within walking distance. Cheri was a great host and easy to communicate with. The neighborhood felt very safe. We used Cheri’s place as a home base to do some hiking in the area, so the sauna and steam shower were great for muscle recovery after a long day of hiking. We knew very little about Asheville before this trip and I’m so glad we stayed in West Asheville. It’s much quieter and easier to navigate than downtown. The restaurant and brewery scene in West Asheville is top notch. Downtown was easy to get to as well (just a few minutes drive), if that’s your scene but we were perfectly happy staying on the west side of the river.
