Ron & Diane's place is great. We stayed for a month. It's on the edge of West Asheville, in walking distance to breweries, wine bars, barcades, coffee shops, book shops, and anything else you'd like. There's also a bus stop very close by for easy access to downtown.
The apartment itself is excellent. You can tell by the thoughtful touches and well equipped kitchen that Ron & Diane have spent real time in the space. Despite being a basement apartment, its well lit and very comfortable. The space was extremely clean and well decorated and there were lots of maps, guides, and menus to help navigate Asheville's immense list of things to see and eat. The wifi is reliable, and the apartment is quiet.
Ron & Diane were excellent hosts. They were extremely communicative, responsive, and welcoming. I only wish I'd had the chance to get to know them a little better during my stay.
Stay here. It's the perfect spot to stay in Asheville.
