Catherine was an outstanding host. The room was beautifully-appointed and pristinely maintained, and she really thought of everything a guest could need. Her home itself is within a lovely residential neighborhood minutes from Asheville’s downtown — could easily stroll there. Best of all, Catherine was incredibly kind and responsive (and her restaurant recommendations were great — we loved Curate and Itto). We had a wonderful evening as we passed through town, and would gladly have stayed at her place for longer. Thanks to Catherine for an excellent visit and heartily recommend her place for short or longer visits to this wonderful city.
