Exactly as described! What a wonderful experience. My sister and I visited Asheville and Kari's place was really close to the areas we wanted to explore. While there was tons of things to do within walking distance, it was still too cold. We didn't actually get to meet Kari, but I could tell just by the "feel" of the place, that she is very warm and welcoming. This place was cozy and comfy. It met our needs and we felt safe and secure. The bed was comfy and we were warm. We used the refrigerator to house our water and left overs, but we did not use the cook-top, microwave, dishwasher, or toaster, but it was nice knowing they were there for our use.
I would stay again...I have nothing negative to say about Kari's place. :) Thanks for opening your place up to us. I'd stay here again, for sure!
