The rad pad is just as advertised. It's an extremely clean and comfortable space. In addition to all the fun decor, we especially liked the concrete floors (nice under the feet) and the fact that a pocket door could separate the toilet/sink from the shower area (where there is also a second sink), allowing both of us to be getting ready at the same time. Check-in and check-out was seamless. Meg sent a couple of friendly emails the first day to alert us to a festival going on in the area and tell us about some of their favorite spots. We HIGHLY recommend OWL bakery (get a palmier) and HOLE doughnuts (yum). We also had a fantastic meal at The Admiral and had fun shopping for gifts at Whist. All of these establishments are in West Asheville and most are walkable from the rad pad. It's a piece of cake to get from the pad to the River Arts District, to downtown Asheville, and to the Blue Ridge Parkway. We highly recommend Meg's place!
