I have been traveling to Asheville for work for years, so I know how hip the river arts district has become! There are some great galleries and good eats nearby. It makes for a colorful place to stay in Asheville...yet, it's soo close to downtown and Biltmore, too. Very central. The bed was comfy, the bathroom is gorgeous and the hosts are really caring, while respecting privacy. I love how the house is on a corner lot and the views from the studio face the yard and woods behind the house. It has a lovely feeling to it. Thank you for a great experience at a great value!
