I loved drinking my coffee on Paula's front porch surrounded by her plants. She had a great selection of coffees to choose from as well as snacks. I appreciated the fresh flowers in the room. It is a busy area with people passing by but at night we were not disturbed because the bedroom is on the back of the house and the AC was running. We were happy to have a big bathroom to ourselves. You can walk to the River Arts District. We enjoyed eating at "The Junction" in River Arts District, Sunny Point for breakfast in west Asheville and Chestnut downtown. My only regret is that we didn't get to talk with Paula more- but we were busy as she was!
