My husband and I had a lovely time in Asheville! Kari's home was true to the photos provided and was very clean and orderly. Kari's place is just a few minutes drive to downtown and also walkable to some fun places to eat. This is an ideal place if you have a car and want to stay off the immediate downtown strip. As a note her home provides off street parking which is a plus. We enjoyed calling Kari's studio our home base!
