My boyfriend and I visited Asheville during our Summer Break and we were not disappointed. Not only is Asheville beautiful but the location of Sage's place, in West Asheville, was only a few blocks from Haywood Street which allowed us to walk to and enjoy local bars and restaurants. Sage's apartment was a cozy basement apartment that my 6' 5 boyfriend was able to walk around in (not always an easy thing). The few messages I sent to Sage were responded to immediately even though she was in a different time zone. You can hear some noise from the main house upstairs but it was never too distracting.
