We had a wonderful time staying in Ellen and Mike's apartment! The location in West Asheville is convenient to shops and restaurants, and we enjoyed walking around the neighborhood. The apartment is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. It is small, but it works perfectly for two people. The kitchenette has everything you will need - coffee, microwave, and tea kettle, and the bathroom is just lovely. One thing we didn't realize was there is no closet. We are light packers though, so this certainly was not a problem. We would love to stay with Ellen and Mike again when we return to Asheville!
