Our recent stay at Chad's place worked out great for our first time visit to Asheville. My friend and I (we are two women in our early 60's) enjoyed having our own rooms and bathrooms and being in a quite residential neighborhood in West Asheville. The location was great, just a short drive to some great restaurants on Haywood Ave, the River Arts District, and downtown Asheville. Also a short walk to Carrier Park along the river and the fun, funky Homegrown Restaurant just down the hill. The house is clean and comfortable, although modest in decor and furnishings. We never did figure out the Roku TV for watching the evening news, and there was no coffee maker or toaster, but there are great breakfast places just up the street on Haywood - Biscuit Head and Sunny Side. So all in all a great base for discovering all that Asheville has to offer.
