I feel very mixed about this rental. The location is absolutely terrible, next to a major highway and train tracks, in a not very nice neighborhood. Our first night there, we were awaken by a freight train and kept hearing car traffic. Second night, train came right as we were falling asleep. The owner calls it a Zen oasis in her welcome note. It is everything but. Having stayed at many Airbnb rentals, this was a below average experience. If you are looking for a cheap place to sleep and don't mind the train and road noise this may be a good place for you. If you are looking for a nice place to relax to enjoy the beauty of Asheville and to spend any time inside or outside the house during the day, I would find a different rental or a hotel. As an added plus, in a hotel, you won't be asked to strip your bed while paying a $60 cleaning fee.
