Valerie was a wonder host and the studio was exactly as described! While my husband and I didn't get the chance to meet Valerie, she made us feel very welcomed and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. The location was great with easy acess to the highway and to downtown Asheville. The charm of the property was a great bonus! Bed and sheets were very comfortable. Kitchenette was perfect and had more then we expected!
