Paula was a very hospitable and friendly host. The room was cozy, overlooking the front garden and the people walking down the street. With additional space to relax with Paula or other guests downstairs, I cannot think of a better place to use as home base.
Obviously there are other people in the house, and things happening in the surrounding neighborhood, but we did not think the noise was a problem at any point.
A short walk to the breweries and downtown, this is a great place to explore Asheville.
