Michele's Cheerful Home was exactly as advertised, and Michele's graciousness before and during our stay made it all the more cheerful. The apartment was full of information about the area with extra attention to family-friendly attractions and restaurants in the area. Nothing we did was very far away and the area is very walkable and friendly. It's very close to downtown and all that it has to offer. Parking in front of the house was very easy and always available.

The single bedroom with bunk beds was perfect for our boys (10 and 5) and allowed us to use the front room and kitchen after they were in bed. So much better than a single hotel room! The bed was comfortable and the entire space clean and tidy. The fridge and cabinets were even stocked with a few goodies from local sources compliments of Michele. The full kitchen and large island were a perfect gathering place for breakfast and other meals.

The only minor drawback of the space was the rather heavy footsteps of the upstairs neighbors (not Michele) rather early. Light sleepers beware. It certainly wasn't loud or intrusive, but it did wake us on a couple of occasions.

We would highly recommend Michele's place for small families looking for a convenient and comfortable home base in Asheville. Perfect location, perfect space, wonderful host!
