Comfortable property, accurate listing and photos. Host was thoughtful and hospitable, with good and timely comms both pre-check-in and during our 3-night stay. Comfy bed, clean and well-equipped unit, conveniently located. It would be extra-pleasant during spring/summer/fall (we were there during a cold snap, so didn’t use the outdoor amenities). Would book again.

Perfect location a short walk up the hill to Grove Park Inn, lots of bears in the neighborhood - even an albino squirrel (see photo). Very quiet place in a serene residential neighborhood, and nicely appointed with shopping amenities and downtown Asheville nearby. It was our 2nd visit. We will be back!
