Michele made my boyfriend and me feel so welcome. She left us some food/snacks that were made locally, and some local beers and ciders. She left suggestions for nearby restaurants (we took her up on her suggestion for Nine Mile, and it was fantastic). The apartment was a basement apt in a super cute house in a beautiful historic district. We didn't have friends join us, but there would have been plenty of room for another two people to join. Anyway, we had a blast in Asheville, and staying at Michele's was very much a part of that.
