Location location location. Not a scenic locale but perfectly close to the hipster happenings on Haywood Ave in West Asheville, and right around the corner is Zia, a sensationally good New Mexican restaurant. Close to bus stops for the W1 or W2 to downtown Asheville. Inside Mike's place is very clean and very comfortable, with a tile-and-glass-block bathroom that is pure luxe. East-facing shaded front porch is another plus.
