Jim and Norma are not only caring and giving hosts but they are also generous and warm people. The house is up in the hills on the East Side of Asheville. The neighborhood is quiet and all the homes are well maintained.
You will park not on the street , but take their driveway up and you will park right in front of the house. There's a separate entrance and you gain entrance with a key.
The Zen garden is right outside your room and this space is for the guest (s). A ceiling fan with lights, a comfortable queen size bed, and a desk with enough space for your laptop and an excellent W-Fi for great connectivity. The room is filled with books and music CDs.
The space includes a private bathroom with a walk-in shower.
Bust the best thing, beside the comfort of the space are the hosts themselves. They went out of their way to make me feel welcome. And you can't put a price tag on that.
The place is as I said on the east side of town. The access to I-240 is minutes away, and the nearest big street (Tunnel Road) has a big number of restaurants from fast foods, to Outback, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, and The Mikado, a Japanese steak house.
The house is within a six minute drive to a large mall if you want to shop or have other dining options.
This was my first visit to Asheville, and it is a town well worth seeing.
