Michael's room is perfect for a stay in Asheville. It has a private entrance and you have a VERY large room with a private bathroom (the shower is a little small). It was clean, organized and the bed was comfortable. He greeted me the night I arrived and had water, glasses, and dishes for me to use. There's also a little refrigerator available in the common area. The driveway has an automatic light that turns on when you walk in and the door has a combination. I always felt safe. Even though the room is in the bottom floor, I only heard them a few times in the early evening. It's very quite in general. You can also use the terrace which is perfect for watching the trees (especially in the fall).

Michael texted me a few times to make sure I was ok, which I appreciated.

His house is close to downtown but feels far away because it's in the hills with lots of trees.

I definitely recommend Michael's place and definitely recommend visiting Asheville.
