Michael's place was great! We enjoyed that the home was more secluded - in a forest-like area but was a very close drive to everything in downtown Asheville and a bit longer drive but still convenient to West Asheville and other areas/attractions such as the Biltmore Estate. The room/apartment was clean and had everything we needed. While it is technically connected to the house it really is your own space and you can have as much privacy as you want. For example, we did not interact with Michael or his family in-person but we knew they were there if we needed anything and he checked in via the AirBnB app during our stay also. The recommendations/local resources Michael left were wonderful. We did the hike he suggested up to the UNCA observatory twice and it was lovely. Here you have hiking right out the front door and all parts of Asheville just a short drive away. We'd definitely stay again!
