We had a great experience in downtown Asheville, thanks to our stay at the gray rock inn. The location is ideal! We parked our car in back Friday night and didn't return to it until we left Sunday. We were able to walk throughout town with ease. John was flexible with our check in, as we arrived after "quiet hours", and took the time to give is advice about where to go. The house was very clean and inviting, not to mention beautiful and charming. One of the permanent residents suggested breakfast at "The Med", inexpensive diner downtown. The food co-op next door was great for a quick coffee and fresh fruit. We will definitely stay at the gray rock inn when we come back to Asheville.
