Thomas' place is the perfect place to stay in Asheville. It is an easy 10-minute drive from the wonderful restaurants and galleries downtown, and has a beautiful connecting trail right out the door to the Mountain-to-Sea trail. We had everything we needed in his lovely, super clean apartment, including fresh flowers, amazing photography, comfortable furniture, and well-appointed bathroom. He greeted us warmly with local information and then gave us total privacy. We hope to visit again!
