Michael's place is a perfect location to be close the the heart of Asheville and go to other neighboring towns. It's so very close to the botanical gardens, arboretum, and farmers' market, which was so convenient. It was clean and accurate to description. It was perfect for me, since I fixed simple breakfasts for myself and ate out for the other meals. So, not having a full kitchen was not an issue or hindrance. The refrigerator, toaster, coffee pot, and other amenities were ample and in a spacious room. I'd definitely recommend Michael's place and is great value for the price.
