Great place right in the middle of downtown Asheville. Restaurants, bars, coffee shops, stores of all sorts within a 5 minute walk in all directions. The accomodations were as expected and it was great connecting with people who were also staying in the hostel. The only downside is it does get pretty warm at night, so if you're hot natured I would just be aware of that. Then again if you have 20 people staying in one large room some people are going to be burning up while others are freezing, so you can't make everyone happy.
