The decor in this place is really appealing. Lovely, eclectic artwork and furniture, as you can see from the photos, and brand new kitchen and bath. The bed is ridiculously comfortable. We stayed Thursday-Monday and so we got the weekday as well as the weekend experience. I will tell you straight up, the lumberyard next door is a non-issue as far as noise or anything else goes. This place is a nice combination of private, and accessible. There is a very cool, funky hipster bar across the street, which doesn't appear to have a sign or a name, but if you go in you'll be treated an eyeful of fairy lights, creative weirdness and irreverent splashes of graffiti. Also, be sure to make advance reservations at The Admiral for a really fine food experience. A couple of things to note: Asheville is not just a short walk from West Asheville. You'll want to Uber if you're going into Asheville proper (which I recommend if you're drinking. They arrive almost instantly.) You can also, of course, drive, or take public transport. Also, I neglected to take note of the fact that there isn't a washer and dryer in this place, so pack accordingly if you're there for a long stay, or plan on finding a laundromat. I think there's one near by.
We did not meet our hosts in person, but felt comfortable knowing they were just a text away. Good value, clean and comfortable.
