Dorothy's place was perfect. It's up on the mountain to the east of town but is close enough that we were able to walk to the south slope in Asheville in 20-30 minutes. And it was such a nice night, we even were able to walk back in about the same time later that night. The kitchenette was wonderful and we were able to make breakfast both mornings (Ingles - a grocery store - is a 5 minute drive away). Also Dorothy supplied coffee which was wonderful. One note for future stayers - you are able to hear the family upstairs. We expected this (it's a basement apartment) and it didn't affect us at all. But if you are a super light sleeper, you may hear them. Overall it was a great stay!
