First of all, Gretchen was a wonderful host! She was quick to respond back when I had questions, and she is extremely knowledgeable and in-tune with her neighborhood and Asheville in general. Her house is in the perfect location, and a variety of cafes and shops are easily accessible by foot. Gretchen's house is absolutely beautiful; my room was comfortable and the en-suite was updated and perfectly tailored to the house's style. And let's talk about that front porch...THE PERFECT place for a glass of wine at night or to send emails first thing in the morning with a cup of coffee! I look forward to staying here in the foreseeable future!
