Pamella was a great host - good communication regarding arrival, very friendly (and a genuinely very nice person), and good recommendations about where to eat (Sunny Point Cafe! - walking distance from her house). We found quite a bit to talk about, and she definitely made me feel at home. She's an artist, so she knows the open studio scene very well.

The room was nice - clean, comfortable mattress on the futon, nice views of greenery toward the back (but with blinds to block most of the light). She let me park my car in her driveway. Neighborhood is very quiet.

I haven't spent time in Asheville before, and was a little concerned about staying out in West Asheville. It is a couple (?) miles from downtown, but there is a lot of great stuff in West Asheville, and it's much calmer than downtown.

I'd definitely stay there again.
