Quiet, clean space just as advertised. Only a few minutes from downtown Asheville in a residential area with a bit of traffic noise but not much. It appeared that I was the only (1 of 3) guest so I'm not sure how quiet it would otherwise be but the bottom line=a good night's sleep. I never met the host but she was quick to respond and instructions were clear. I would choose this guesthouse again if I were in the area.
