Norma and Jim couldn't have been better hosts. Communication was quick and clear, and they were very understanding when my check-in time kept changing due to a client meeting running hours overtime.
When I arrived I was greeted warmly and given a thorough tour around the house and the studio. The space has lovely decor touches all around to make it feel like home, and the solarium room really is a beautiful, serene space where you can relax and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area. Think sunlight streaming in, a gentle water fountain and the sounds of birds chirping outside.
Everything was spotlessly clean and I very much appreciated the bathroom and bedroom being tidied overnight. Breakfast was a spread of fruit, yoghurt, granola and pastries - yummy and a lovely touch.
The house is about 12 minutes drive away from downtown Asheville. Ubers are about $10-$12 for that trip and take between 4 and 12 minutes to arrive.
It was great to spend time at Norma and Jim's place, and I would happily come back on another trip to Asheville. Thank you both!
