Lee's place is an AMAZING value, and it's walking distance from everything cool in West Asheville, as well as being a short drive from the general downtown area. Lee is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the area, and it's obvious that she puts a lot of effort into being a great host.
Within two blocks of the house, we had many different types of bars (including a barcade!), restaurants ranging from unpretentious delis to fancy dining at a jazz club, and tons of local shops.
We spent way less time downtown doing expensive, tourist-y stuff than anticipated because Lee's place was simply more convenient to a more interesting part of town. Highly recommended! An ideal long weekend getaway!
