The layout of the house for our party of four was perfect! A dining room open to the living room, with the wonderfully furnished kitchen tucked away in the back. We loved having the big dining table - we kept a jigsaw puzzle going all weekend and still had room for meals at the other end of the table. The new kitchen and bathrooms (with great towels) were beautiful too. We appreciated that the kitchen had well beyond the basics -- full set of dishes, flatware, glasses, mugs, wine glasses, pots and pans, full knife rack, and various cooking tools. The front and back doors with the coded keypad are a great idea -- no need to remember who had the key! And we loved being able to walk to the restaurants in West Asheville. We needed to drive to get to downtown Asheville proper, but found lots of fun places we could walk to from "our" house. The restoration job on this place is beautiful!
