Staying in Rob's home was a really great experience. He was such a thoughtful host, even provided water and gatorade for us during the trip. He was readily available and happy to answer questions about how/where to spend our time. His house is in walking distance to a few of the restaurants/shops in West Asheville, and a ten minute drive (at most) to Downtown- which in my opinion was perfect. Ubers to Downtown from his house were also inexpensive (maybe around $9-15 depending on time of day/night).
I definitely recommend staying with Rob & will be doing so the next time I visit Asheville!
