Before staying with Shawn and Dave, we read many of their reviews. We thought, "They sound like great hosts." We didn't expect to bond with them like we did. They made us feel like we were visiting them, as well as exploring a city we have never before to before. We are definitely planning to return to Asheville, and having an awesome place to stay is a big plus! Aside from the fun conversations, their place is beautifully decorated and feels incredibly comfortable. We felt welcomed and at home.
