We had a really great stay at Jeff and Rita's place. Jeff was incredibly friendly and helped with anything that was needed. The house is located about a .5 - 1.0 miles from everything in Asheville and pretty easy to walk (a bit of an uphill walk to downtown, but not a big deal). The shared bathrooms aren't the best situation, but it isn't terrible as long as you are aware of it. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying with Jeff and Rita.
