We had a wonderful stay in Michael's house, and he was a wonderful host! From before booking to after our stay, he was very responsive and helpful. It was the best-appointed vacation rental we've ever stayed in -- wide variety of cookware and spices in the kitchen (and fabulous appliances), laundry detergent, soaps and shampoo in both bathrooms, bathrobes, very comfortable bedding, even extra wine in case you run out! The house was very clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. We loved that downtown was just a short drive, and parking downtown was easy (parking decks were inexpensive). Michael provided excellent recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Street was nice and quiet in the evenings, and we enjoyed watching the sunset from the west-facing covered deck. We will definitely look into staying here again next time we are in Asheville!
