Rita's home is a great find in Asheville. The location cannot be beat and Rita is an incredibly kind and thoughtful host. The room had a window A/C unit (typical for older homes in Asheville) and it worked well and was coupled with an over-head fan. I found the room very clean (as was the rest of the home) and well-lit. The common space of her charming Victorian home was warm and inviting. While the queen bed was well maintained, I did not find the mattress comfortable. It was pretty stiff and did not work well for my back. Rita was kind enough to offer coffee and muffins in the AM. This was a good find and value.
