This hostel is amazing. it's not as fancy as other hostels in the area, but the front porch and quirky home has a lot of character and opportunities to meet other people. the front porch is the archetypical hangout spot, the couches inside are ridiculously comfortable, and the decor is numerous. The beds in the shared dorm are pretty comfortable, but there is quite a bit of light in the morning, and a decently high noise level. nevertheless staying here was a memorable and invograting experience i would recommend to anyone going through asheville. Wish they'd extend the stay limit though. 4 days a year is but a tease of a limit.
