Michelle's place is very close to various places in downtown Asheville. We really enjoyed our stay here! It had everything we needed for one night - no kitchen, but a microwave/fridge and even coffee for us to make in the morning. We met Michelle the morning we were headed out and she gave us some really great recommendations for things to do as we headed out of the city, and even sat down with us to plan our route to Nashville so we could maximize hiking time. The only downside (that we didn't mind so much, but to keep in mind) is that since the room is on level with the robust lawn outside, sometimes bugs can sneak in under the door.
