Christine's place was amazing. It was spacious, and very, very clean. I loved all of her artwork, which she hangs in the guestroom. Her home is quiet, but close to several restaurants, and, if you like, you can even walk to downtown in 30 minutes or so. Christine provides a coffee pot and tea. We did not partake, but I was happy to have the option. Our host was an excellent communicator. She also provides you with great directions to her home, so that it is impossible to get lost. I would definitely stay at Christine's again if I had need to be in Asheville.
