Michele met me at my car as soon as I arrived, and personally led me down to the wonderful living space, decked out with local snacks and beers. We had a delightful conversation, complete with tons of tips on parking and her recommendations on dining and other great things to do in Asheville. Talk about 5 star service with an Appalachian hospitality! Incredible location that's central to almost anywhere you'd like to go (you can even walk downtown if you're like me and prefer to foot it when you can). If I wasn't already familiar with Asheville, the dozens of local books highlighting trails, breweries and eateries would send you on your way with confidence. Add to it the warm charms, including children's drawings on the fridge, and this was simply a home away from home. Couldn't be more happy with the experience! Would happily book again next time I'm in town.
