Karen's attention to detail and timely communication make her the IDEAL host! She has clearly thought through every aspect of the experience, anticipating answers to questions by providing easy-to-follow instructions and stocking the apartment with everything we needed and more. The space was roomy, comfortable, well decorated, and exactly as described/pictured. We were delighted to find amenities such as sleep sound machines, cozy blankets, a guestbook & information binder, and a charming backyard in which we received a visit from a rafter of wild turkeys!! The neighborhood was quiet and sits in a convenient location, we were able to take a short walk to eat at restaurants in West Asheville or take just a short drive to explore downtown & River Arts District. I highly recommend that you choose Karen as your host for your Asheville getaway!
