Paula is a friendly, warm host. My wife and I spent a wonderful evening talking with her on her back deck and sharing a beer. She is the kind of person you would want as a friend. Our room had a very comfortable bed and a new, spacious bath. She provided coffee and snacks. The house probably dates from the early 1900's and has a charming front porch with a comfy couch and a porch swing. Great for people watching or just relaxing. Asheville attracts a wide variety of people, but don't expect the Country Clubbers to be passing by.
