We enjoyed our stay at Zak and Iz's guest house. It's a seperate structure in the back yard for privacy with a long driveway to park your car so you don't have to park on the street. One of the big reasons we chose Zak and Iz's place was because they allowed pets and we wanted to bring our dog. It's in West Asheville which is growing/up-and-coming so you get a little of the older/not so new residential area with the new hot spots in the neighborhood. Some restaurants/cafes were in walking distance, more were a quick drive down the road, with easy access across the river to the River Arts District and downtown. We didn't spend a ton of time in the actual guest house but it was just what we needed for our long weekend.
