As they say in the description, 'no frills', but a good place from which to visit downtown Asheville. A little noisy since it's on the main road downtown and more like a hostel with private rooms and mostly longer term residents. Comfy enough and clean. Lovely old boarding house. Definitely different. Loved the location for going out for morning coffee and a pastry to the food coop next door or the city bakery slightly farther away. Convenient to all downtown.
