We really enjoyed our short stay at Christine's house; it was a great base for our exploration of the Asheville area. The guest quarters are spacious and very nicely appointed, including some fantastic artworks by Christine herself, and we felt welcome to use the kitchen and communal living areas during our stay. It's fairly well located - a 30 minute walk or 5 minute drive into town, and a short walk to several restaurants and conveniences. Christine and her cats were really friendly and easygoing. While we both love cats, it's worth noting that if you're not a cat person, this probably isn't the best choice for you.
