We felt warmly welcomed and at the same time Kari gave us our space. The apartment was spick and span, with nice amenities from a super efficient heater/ac system to comfy bed. She even has a large water filter for guests! The apartment is very private feeling. The backyard garden is peaceful and the neighborhood was great to walk around. And, just as advertised, we walked to and from West Asheville's growing, but still small enough to be quaint, business district easily. Thanks, Kari!
