We really enjoyed our stay at Kari's Sweet Studio. Kari was very welcoming and helpful. She left several stacks of local maps, magazines, and restaurant guides that we used considerably during our stay. She also gave us valuable information on local real estate. The studio was very clean, cozy, private, and just as described in the listing. The studio front door lead out to a patio overlooking her beautiful and peaceful backyard. The location was awesome - right in the middle of West Asheville. Each evening we walked to the commercial district for dinner, where there were many excellent local eateries. What's neat about Kari's place is that you are within walking distance to West Asheville shopping and restaurants, but once you return to her house, particularly the backyard (to the Studio entrance), you feel like you’re in a more rural-type sanctuary. When we return to Asheville, we'll definitely stay in Kari's studio again. Steve and Rebecca
