We were met by Cheri's husband Mike. After showing us the apartment (very large and very well appointed) he recommended places in walking distance, a local café, the Battle Cat, an authentic West Asheboro landmark, and WALK, (West Asheboro Lounge and Kitchen) for food and drinks, both about 3 blocks away which we greatly enjoyed. The following day he recommended a apple cider brewery and restaurant which was excellent. and we returned to the following day. The Ruben sandwich was outstandingly good. Downtown Asheville is a short car ride or a long walk. We were very pleased. Authentic West Asheville experience.
