A gem of a place! Mike's place is very close to Asheville and we Uber-ed everywhere. (about $8-10 into town). Communication was very clear and the host was available to talk should any need arise. The apartment itself was very well kept - clean, not cluttered, well stocked, and extra's (like video games, books, movies, tea and coffee) were thoughtfully left for visitors. it was really a lovely environment to stay in while in NC. I felt safe and comfortable while there. I only wish my trip was longer so I could have stayed at this oasis longer! PS - mountain view from the back patio seating is perfect.
