Christal's lovely studio was private, welcoming and warm. It was clean, wonderfully decorated, and the bed is very cozy and comfortable. It's a unique place to stay and helps to immerse you in the Asheville eccentric and relaxed lifestyle. It is so close to downtown, we were thrilled with the location. High Five coffee is at the bottom of the street and their coffee menu is incredible. GreenLife is a short walk away. We did hear her, her roommate and the dogs periodically, but they were not loud nor often and it's fine if you are used to it. Overall, it was a great A+ experience. We will definitely stay here again. She's a wonderful host.
