At first glance, we were a little hesistant just because it is literally in the basement of a home and we had never stayed in such close proximity to a host before. However, Elisa was super kind - she greeted us and gave us some local recommendations, and then she left us alone for the rest of the stay. The space itself is super cute and has lots of thoughtful touches. It is just a short walk to great restaurants in West Asheville, and it’s just a few minutes from downtown. If you are someone who needs 5 star hotels, this might not be for you, but if you are on a budget and don’t mind feeling like you are staying with a friend, then you’ll be fine!
