It is obvious when you stay at Nicole's that she cares about people and wants to provide a comfortable and attractive place for you to stay. It was sparkling clean. The area was near all of the sites to visit in Asheville, and the neighborhood was quiet and friendly. I felt very safe there. Nicole provided a really nice selection of coffee, teas, and hot chocolate. There were plenty of pillows and blankets and quality linens. The decor was attractive without making you feel afraid to touch anything. My husband and I visit Asheville fairly often and I look forward to returning to Nicole's. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
