Pros: Location location location! Very near to downtown Asheville, easy to get to and from. Very private, nice room for parking. Lovely lot for our car, spacious accommodations inside. Cons: no built-in heat system - two heating units that are prone to make the power go off were our source of heat. We walked into an apartment without power when arriving late one evening from a day exploring. The bed in the bedroom is very comfortable, the sofa bed not so much - my son had a backache throughout our entire stay. Use the sofa bed for your kids - I don't recommend it for adults. And while we loved the large screen TV, we did not love that the hot water is turned up to such a scalding level that it was nearly impossible to get nice, warm water for showers and hand washing. Dangerous for kids - watch them around the faucets, as they could easily get burned (I did). You'll like the kitchen and the thoughtful touches the host has there with snacks, dishes, and cooking devices (this is a basement apartment, so no real oven/stove). Honestly, though, although we loved the location of this place, we felt a little ripped off and thought we should have gotten more for the price tag. The final insult was that we could hear every step taken and guffaw released by the people upstairs through the thin ceilings. You can make up for such headaches by availing yourself of the recommendations made by the hosts for restaurants. We went twice to the same Mexican place - a great retreat from the dry air, lack of seating, and noise in the apartment!
