When we arrived we observed that the host was home but she never greeted us or oriented us to the room. I felt that that was odd since every other place I have stayed the host always greets us upon arrival. I assumed she was busy and we would meet her later ( but never did). The parking was a bit difficult (steep driveway) but my husband maneuvered it just fine in his sedan. The room was exactly as pictured and the place was clean (aside from cat hair which we didn't mind). Our stay was short but nice except for the last night. The hosts had dinner guests upstairs and we could hear them all night. The talking and laughing didn't stop until 1am. I don't think I'd stay here just because of that. They weren't too loud, per say but the basement does not allow for much noise resistance and the hosts didn't seem to care how boisterous they got. All in all we really enjoyed Asheville and having our little dog along was definitely a perk. We really appreciate being able to bring her without any superfluous pet charges and fees too.
