Michelle was there to greet us and made us welcome straight away. She made sure that we knew where everything was, and that we had everything we needed. The room is delightful, with a very comfortable bed and beautiful artwork on the walls. There is chilled water in the refrigerator and a coffee maker (with really nice coffee). We stayed in high summer, with fairly hot and humid weather, but the room stayed lovely and cool, helped by the ceiling fan. Michelle's home is within easy walking distance of Downtown Asheville and the River Arts District, and there is a wealth of information in the room about what's happening locally, good places to eat and so on. There are also a couple of maps on the wall marking out the best routes to get Downtown, or to RAD. The road Michelle's home is on is very peaceful, and the streets are well lit at night if you are walking back. We had a wonderful stay here - it is so nice to be a guest in a home, rather than a hotel. Michelle herself is a wonderful host - friendly, relaxed, with a wealth of local knowledge. This was my husband's first visit to the USA and Michelle's hospitality made it a really great experience for him.
