This is a FIND!!! It IS close to downtown, Biltmore Village and the River Arts district. Yasmin has carved this magical garden that seems like it belongs in a Bavarian forest. If you need respite, you have it. If you need to just sleep between outings you have that too! Yasmin is an impeccable hostess. She respects full privacy, or can be a charming conversationalist, offering the best of what you want out of Asheville. We will definitely be staying here again. The flat is super clean and cozy. Yasmin is consistently checking for those little extras, clean towels, enough coffee, etc.
