This stay met our expectations. We still needed a car to get most places but it was convenient to the interstate so travel to hiking was easy. The only real downside is the noise from upstairs neighbors. If you enjoy sleeping in this may not be the place for you. However, the owners are upfront about this and provide a sound machine and ear plugs. This place is great if you just need a home base to sleep but plan on spending most of your time exploring Asheville.
