Thanks Meg and Alisa for being attentive hosts. Great communications before and during our stay. The Rad Pad is just that, a studio turned into a spacious comfortable apartment. We arrived soon after a heavy snowfall and two days later the temperature had climbed twenty degrees, little cold to begin but soon warmed up. Great places to eat nearby, and with a car all that Asheville has to offer within 10-15 minutes. We're from the UK and in our 70s attending a daughter's graduation, perhaps not Rad Pad's usual clientele, but it provided a great base (watch out oldies for gradients and steep steps). Highly recommended.
