Natalie was a great host! We only saw her for several minutes during our two night stay and she made us feel welcome. The place was so freeing and unique. Her dog Walter was great too once he warmed up to us :) very close to the expressway, only 8 dollar uber ride to downtown (with no surcharge). She leaves a lot of details about her place and Asheville in her manual and throughout the house which is super helpful. We really enjoyed our stay!
