the rad pad is in the perfect location for walking all around west asheville, which we preferred over other parts of Asheville because it didn't feel as touristy and the local shops, bars/restaurants were radical! not only is the rad pad funky and eclectic in decor, it feels warm and homey and it's super comfortable! great home away from home. has everything you could need. we enjoyed relaxing on the front porch and playing cards at the table when it rained. bed was comfy! shower was AWESOME! loved all the trader joe's and mrs meyers products. our hosts were so very accommodating and allowed us to check in way earlier than the specified check in time, as we were coming to town from Boone, NC where there were flash flood watches in the cabin we were staying in and had to leave at the crack of dawn. we can't wait to come back!
