Kathleen's apartment was located in a very private area. It really felt like we were in the mountains of Asheville. It was only a 7 minutes drive to the downtown area which was very convenient for us. For the price it was worth it and it beat any other price around by hundreds. By no means was it perfect or 5 star but it was a good place where we could sleep and save our money for the rest of our trip. Kathleen was a wonderful host and had so much knowledge about the area. Every place she suggested for us to see and to eat was well worth it. We had a wonderful time in Asheville and hope to return again
