Lori was a great host, and the location is accurately described. Checkin was a breeze with a lockbox, and she was very easy to contact and even gave us her cell number (which we didn't have to use, but it was nice to have). It is a basement studio, but she provided fans/candles to help really get rid of the basement feel, and it had 3 windows including the door which also helped. She has excellent taste and did a great job decorating to make the space feel cozy, but also newly renovated. Coffee and coffeemaker were a nice touch! Our pup was very comfortable and there was room for her crate. The futon had a spotless cover. The bed was very comfortable. We didn't really feel like we could walk safely to restaurants, there weren't really good sidewalks out of the neighborhood, but it was a short drive/Uber ride to everything we wanted to do so we were still happy. Overall, it is a very fair price and a nice place to stay in West Asheville on a budget. We would gladly stay with Lori again.
