Pam lives in a quiet neighborhood in West Asheville. There are a lot of great shops and restaurants nearby within walking distance. The house is about a 5 - 10 minute drive to downtown and to the River Arts Distrct. Pam was a wonderful host, very warm, friendly and considerate. I felt very comfortable staying here and enjoyed getting to know her. I felt like I made a new friend. The house was clean and tastefully decorated with her artwork. The futon was very comfortable and the room bright and cheerful. This was a great place to stay and enjoy my first visit to Asheville.
