Ar Damera was the most excellent host that we could have hoped for. She made us feel welcome to Urban Peace and was available at any time to answer questions or make recommendations about sightseeing and restaurants. Ar left a welcome bottle of wine, and stocked the refrigerator with breakfast items (of our choosing) just to get us started.

Here are the intangibles about Ar: I wanted to surprise my wife for her birthday and send a fresh Hawaiian lei (shipped from the Big Island) and Ar went above and beyond by accepting the delivery 2 days in advance of our arrival. I spoke with Ar on the phone a few weeks before we came to Asheville to make these arrangements. She is a very good soul and is easy to talk to, just as if she was your best friend. Much gratitude and thanks for all she did to make our trip to Asheville more enjoyable, especially since we are considering it for a retirement relocation.

Urban Peace is just like it sounds, as it was in a quiet neighborhood just off of a main road that was centrally located within a few miles of the major highways that led to downtown Asheville (no more than 10 minutes away). The entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway was less than 5 minutes from Urban Peace. What you see is what you get in the listed pictures, but more importantly you get peace of mind, rest, and relaxation when you stay at Ar's place.

We left her a note that said if we do choose Asheville to relocate, we hope in some way she will be included in our new journey. That is all that is needed to be said about Ar as a person and a host. Many Thanks for a great retreat from life for awhile :)))
