Christine is a nice and welcoming host. I enjoyed my stay at her place where the room was larger than expected, quiet, and nicely decorated. Her place is about a mile away from the heart of town. There are nearby places to eat like Luella's bbq, Asheville pizza, and Homegrown or close to several grocery stores like trader Joes and Ingles. If you are a cat friendly person you will like staying here. Two of her kitties are super friendly once they get to know you. I will definitely come back.
