Betsy gave us a lovely welcome and explained about the coffee machine and the tv to us, she also gave us great recommendations as to where to eat. The basement is very arty and to a particular taste, but was spotlessly clean and every thing we needed was provided.Betsy was a lovely hostess , very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her. The basement was only about 15 mins from Asheville centre, which is a very easy walkable town with lots to do.
